Fast Pass + Off Property

[april8986]

I am staying off property with a 5 day ticket. Can I make my fast pass reservations for all 5 days at one time 30 days in advance, or will I have to make them one day at a time?

One day at a time. You may find the green link in my signature helpful.

Thanks! So many perks to staying on site.

We usually stay offsite and making them one day at a time hasn't been too bad. A lot depends on when you go of course but we've managed to get everything we wanted. We didn't try for Anna and Elsa and that one might be a problem if it's a priority.

Good luck when it's your time!

For me the FP+ reservation system is the biggest issue to staying off site. We will be staying off site in April for the first time since FP+ and I imagine we will have to adjust plans based on availability.

I have also been trying to book ADRs every morning for 7 mornings in a row at 6 am. It is kind of nice when you can get up early once and get all of those ADRs you want. Not looking forward to staying up until midnight several nights in a row for the FP+. May just do it on my MK day and take whatever is left for the others.

At 30 days The Mine Train, Fireworks and Parades, and Popular Meet and Greets are gone. Would it hurt much to wait to the 25th day to book all five days for the other things?

I did just spend the last 30 days playing with my ride reservations and noticed that the closer to my trip I started losing evening availability at MK and DHS. Otherwise, nothing else booked up. I was most frustrated with Haunted Mansion being completely booked after 5:30 on my planned arrival day.

In my opinion, no. The difference in availability between Day 30 and Day 25 is minimal and likely not worth 5 straight nights of midnight bookings if that is a burden.

More than likely you're probably checking on a party night

Not to hijack the thread but I have a related question...we will be staying 4 nights off property and 4 nights on with an 8 day hopper. Will I be able to make the last part of my days FP's 60 days out and the first days 30 days out???

Yep you should be able to

No, It's not a party night. I was able to get Splash, btmrr, Peter Pan, just not haunted mansion. Pretty strange.

You can only make 7 days of FP+ in total when staying offsite. Once you make 7 days worth you have to wait for one day to drop off before making more. We were there for Jan. Feb, & Mar offsite and that was a problem for us but not insurmountable. In December we're going for 12 days and I have all of them full of FPs.

True for Annual Pass holders only.

This is only true if you have an AP or a 7-day ticket. You can make FP+ for however many days of park entitlement you have linked in your MDE.
