Hi Guys... :)

I have searched but cant seem to find the answer.....

Its our 60 day tomorrow :cheer2: and I wonder if there is a set time I can go onto DME and make our FP+ request for our stay ??? I was thinking maybe midnight UK or US ?? :confused3

Thanks All...
 
It's midnight Easter Time so 5 am here. Opened up right on the mark for me when I made mine. If possible, use the website, not the app.
 
I did mine at 5am using the App in bed! I might have needed and Anna & Else FP but I wasn't getting out of bed at 5am on a Sunday morning :rotfl:

Worked fine - I booked A&E and the first day then I did the rest when I got up!

Yep DD wants to see A&E so I need to get this on FP+, I don't fancy a two hour wait in mid August heat !!! ;)

Looks like an early rise in the morning for me then 5am alarm clock set...
 
I did all mine through the app no problem. Just personally I find it easier than the website and more reliable. Also you're looking at more like a four hour wait for A and E so set that alarm! In August the MK might hold 50,000 people and A and E can see about 700 a day... Took us 9 minutes start of queue to leaving the building last week with FPP.

It's set don't u worry,,, had friends there this week and took over 3 hours :0(

Ill have laptop and ipad at the ready ....
 
Thank goodness with all boys A & E is not a FPP I have to try and get
 
Good luck! i'm another one that has an A&E fan. So i will be doing the same when i'm 60 days out! :goodvibes
 
Well guys I was up at 4.55am... Logged on at 5am AND.........
It went like a dream booked everything we wanted for the whole stay even the time slots were pretty good too.. :0)
Was all done by 5.15 so I jumped on the bike and went and had an early morning cycle to blow the cobwebs away..
 
Is it important to get up early if you don't want A&E?

If I logged in at 8, would I still get TSMM and SDMT? Also is it 60+10 or do I need to log on daily to book?

Sorry to hijack :)
 
You may want to add 7DMT to the list but should have no difficulty 60 days out. Other than that I've had no trouble changing FP's even for headliners right up until recently.

On your 180 window you should be able to book the first 14 days. After that it is on a day by day rolling basis if you have tickets for more than 21 days.

Hiya...

Just a thought did you manage to improve the times etc on your FP's by logging in closer to the date and changing them ???

What I found to be easiest was a bit of a roundabout way of doing it, but it saved a lot of time. I knew exactly what time frames I wanted things but the system throws out a suggested set of options. After fiddling with the first few days and shifting things so they wouldn't clash to enable me to adjust other things, I started selection the option that was the furthest away from what I wanted. For example if I wanted morning FP's I selected the late evening set first and then went in and manually changed them very easily. The system is straightforward, although I found it was unnecessarily time consuming. I had no need to improve the times after I made them because using this method, I could pick what I wanted to start with. The biggest challenge when changing is if you have your three say from 10-11, 11-12, and 12-1 and you want to change them, you have to either shift them all in the right order or you need to change the one that clashes/overlaps with another to an unsuitable time to get it out of the way before you can move another. It will all make more sense once you start using it, but it wasn't difficult to make changes. I have an ADR that as been moved to different times and dates 3 times and of course this affected the FP's on those days.

Ok makes sense in a backwards way like you say ;)
So now that I have got them all booked I can go back on and just look for better times that suite ?? To be fair they were all pretty good but might need to move 1 or 2
