continuous stay across 3 resorts fast pass questions

[MDH]

Hi all. Sorry for the big title, but panicking here a little, and have a big question. Below is outline of my trip:

Jan 19 to 26 Caribbean beach
Jan 26 to 29 Boardwalk
Jan 29 to Feb 3rd Beach club

Our fast pass window opens tomorrow at 7AM. I have received much conflicting information as to what days we will actually be able to book fast passes for. The general opinion is that since they are contiguous stays, tomorrow my 60 day window will open for all. However the books i received for each reservation indicated different dates. I phoned disney and they put me through to the internet help desk. They told me that since these are room only reservations, and even though I have linked tickets purchased already in mde for each party member, that since they weren't part of a package, I will indeed have 3 separate windows, 60 days out from the start of each reservation. That would suck, as we'd only have a 7 day, 3 day, and 5 day booking windows instead of a monster 15 day one which would obviously make getting those hard to get fast passes easier near the end.

Does anyone have any experience with this exact type of situation? Thanks!

Side note, not sure if it matters that one of the party members has an annual pass.

You should get one monster window.

I just did a split stay. My FP window for the entire stay opened st 60 days prior to the first check in day. You should be fine

was it a room only plus tickets, or a package?
And thank you for the reply

The window stays open through your 3 onsite stays whether you have room-only or a package.

Thank-you so much for the info. And thank-you so much for once again proving that you shouldn't believe what CM's tell you over the phone!!!

Woke up at 7AM EST, everything worked like a charm. Got every fast pass we wanted for our group of 7 including 3 FOP and 4 SDMT, so I'm feeling pretty lucky. The only day we couldn't do is the very last day, but I'm pretty sure that's because that's day 15 of our stay and tickets expire after 14 days. We won't be using our tickets on the first day, but there is no way for MDE to know that.

Go onto MDE tomorrow, Tuesday, and you’ll be able to book for your last day of FPs.

The system only allows for FPs within the first 14 days of an open FP booking window and then with each passing day, you can book another day of FPs.

It’s explained in the FP FAQ ADDENDUM Sticky.

Ok, will do. I was assuming it was something like that.
