What is wonderful is Dis and everyone on these boards. You all have been so helpful to this newbie and I can't thank you enough!!

Hey amlc, how'd it go this morning?
I've got a pre-trip report going and I elaborated about my FP experience in detail here.

Ok, I can relate. I did not plan on staying up to do Fp+ but I woke up for the restroom at 12:21 and I couldn't go back to sleep bc I kept thinking about the FP. Finally I got up and thought I would quickly do them, then back to sleep. Logged on on my ipad and it asked me to link my tickets. Yikes because I already had linked them and they had shown up on my MDE. Now, nothing!! So I am trying to quietly find my paperwork at 1 AM now without waking everyone else up and without completely freaking out.

New strategy: ditch the ipad and use lap top. Go to tickets and passes, it shows linked tickets for everyone except oldest DS! Panic Again. Try entering the numbers of all of out passes into MDE in case one had not gotten linked before. "Already linked to another guest." I KNOW! Finally just decided to close that and try to make the FP anyway because I KnEW I had linked them. So, I started the process again and clicked select All for guests, and there was oldest DS and I could make all the FP for all of us.

I guess I learned several things:
1. Panic at 1AM when everyone is sleeping is not good
2. All I can think is that since oldest DS has his own MDE account, that after I linked his ticket to him, it does not show up with my family's tickets anymore...? It must only show up on his...? But I can still make the FP for him bc he has always been in My Family and Friends... Doesn't make sense, but I hope this helps someone else bc it was very upsetting to see one child disappear right as I was trying to make the FP.
3. Computer is better than ipad for the FP+, at least if the tickets were separate from resort reservation.
