I have two trips coming up: one at the end of July with my DD2, and a solo trip August 12. My FP+ booking date for the August date should be tomorrow, but I was able to go on this morning and book for my entire trip. The same thing happened with my July trip, but not on previous trips including my trip with DD1 this past weekend. Just curious if there is a reason I have been able to book FP a day early, twice. I am an AP, and I do have multiple trips booked, so I don't know if that has anything to do with it, I just find it odd.

Your window opened one day early because the FP booking window for Stay#1 rolled and opened your booking window for Stay#2.

The rolling caused Stay#1 to be an extremely long “stay” and two or more consecutive stays allow the booking window to remain open. So when looooong Stay#1 met up with #2, the window expanded.

It does.

That makes sense (even if I do return from trip 1 a full two weeks before trip 2). I've never had multiple trips booked at once before, but nice to know there are advantages to it lol. I was able to get absolutely everything I wanted, so I won't complain. Thanks!
