Confused about when my FP window opens

[lily2521]

We're checking in 5/16.

My fastpass window opens 3/17 according to online calculators.

From what I'm reading, that means 11:00pm for me (Central Time Zone).

Do I need to be online Monday 3/16 at 11pm, or Tuesday 3/17 at 11pm?

My head hurts.

You get on line at the same actual moment as the people in the Eastern Time Zone. So if they get on at midnight on the 16th as it crosses over to the 17th, then you get on at 11:00 your time on the 16th so that you are booking simultaneously with them.

Imagine how the people in American Samoa must feel! %^&$%#@$ International Dateline!!

Thank you. I kept getting myself confused with the whole thought of "wait, but it's technically midnight, 3/17 in FL, even though it's still 3/16 where I am for 1 more hour".
