You would have to register for a My Disney Experience account first, then add in your tickets. Once you add in your tickets on your account, if you're staying off site then you could reserve your FP+ attractions 30 days in advance. So when you log onto MDE, once your tickets are added, if you click on the link to reserve FP+, you will see that it will allow you to reserve rides from today until 30 days from now. If you were to have an on site resort reservation , then once you add in your tickets you could reserve your FP+ 60 days before your check in date.

OK, this mostly answers my question. I own a timeshare outside of Disney. If I add a single night at a Disney property before my timeshare stay, can I use the 60 day window for my whole stay?

This is a wonderful thread... though I did glaze over a little... so much to read!

One question whose answer I am sure I missed..... what happens to your plans if a reservation you set up as a FP+ is closed the day you arrive? How does that change anything related to getting another ride scheduled?

Also, a sidebar question...

Which is better, doing a FP+ for Test Track for all of the family, or doing the single rider version?

Many thanks...

Mike, your selections and plan looks good to me.

Mike, your selections and plan looks good to me.

Awesome! Thanks. Will it make a difference if I book my Fastpasses at midnight tonight or wait a few hours until I get up in the early morning for work. Is it worth losing the sleep.? Lol

That will give you the best shot at booking A&E. Do that day first and then go to bed!

ok thanks. How many days after my first stay will it let me book? I arrive on June 29 and leave July 16. A total of 17 days

According to Post #1, you can book the number of days that are equivalent to your ticket length/entitlements. Are you doing a split stay?

Yes. We are doing a split stay.
June 29 - room only
June 30 - 14 - Magic Your Way package
June 14 - 16 - room only.

Is this a problem?

Yes. We are doing a split stay.

I'm not sure... your tickets are part of your package and covers the day you want to meet A&E. I will defer to mesaboy and others.

**your 60 day mark is probably May 1st??

I'd be guessin'. Split stays throw me.

It says May 1st on My Disney Experience. So I guess it's tomorrow night at midnight.

Calculated from the first day of your package so you will be fine booking A&E that far into your stay. Good luck!!

Has anyone had what is shown for their fastpasses differ from the website to the app? When I look online, I have everything I booked. But when I look on the app, one of my fastpasses is missing and another doesn't have the whole group attached to it? I've taken screenshots of the website just in case but I'm worried about getting down there and the glitch being attached to our magic bands. Thanks in advance!

I have no idea about this...perhaps someone can chime in?

Awesome. Thanks for your help.

You're welcome! I didn't want you to stay up until midnight tonight and then have to do it again tomorrow!

 

[mike the canuck]

Lol. Me neither. I'm working the 3:30am shift at work all week so I'll have to get up a midnight, pick my Fastpasses then try to get couple more hours of sleep. Lol

Just wanted to share that Disney is listening! Earlier on this thread, I had mentioned that I emailed Disney with my concerns about only getting 3 FP+ and not being able to sign up for Jedi Training and catch our ride times too - well, I had gotten an email back with a canned explanation on how FP+ was set up, but today I got a surprise on my phone - I had a voicemail I was unable to retrieve last Friday - today it popped back up as new - it was from a CM at WDW, explaining the new possibility of getting the extra FP+ "after you have used your first 3" She said, as we've read that you can keep getting more as long as you use them, and you can move to another park and pull them at that park once you have used the ones in the first park. She gave me her name an phone number for any other concerns and said she will be sharing my email with the departments heads in attractions to help them make decisions on guest satisfaction.

I was excited to get a response that felt like they care how we experience our days in the parks - I'm just somebody's grandma!

Additional clarification, or verification, of changes to FP+.
