My 30 days opened up today and we have 5 day base tickets. I'm unable to schedule the other four days...is this normal?

For offsite guests, yes.

I have an app question, which has probably been discussed but I just want to make sure I understand. Say I have my 3 FP+ selections done in advance and I decide to change one of them. Say I have PP in MK at 11 am and want to switch to 7DMT at the same time. Is there a way to find out the times available for 7DMT ahead of time ( like the signs that used to be posted above FP machines) or do I have to cancel PP and then see what they offer me? Can I even try to switch without canceling one of my 3 first? (I kind of doubt that) Do I get a message like "Do you want to replace choice A with Choice B?" Or do they just say You are ineligible. Can I find out availability at kiosks or maybe by asking a CM with an iPad? Thanks for your patience! I am just trying to think of scenarios and how to make changes.

That's a great question! Looking forward to seeing the response. It would stink to have to cancel one before you can even see if the one you want to switch to is available.

I think you would go in and choose to change the experience for the PP FP+ and then it will give you options for what is available at that time. If 7DMT is available at that time, it will show up as an option. If it doesn't, then "cancel" your change. You could then go and try to change the time for PP, and go through the process again to change the experience at the new time.
I believe you can only change the experience or the time when you have an existing FP+ reservation, not both at once. But I haven't tried to change one for our upcoming trip, this is based on what we have done on a prior trip

So I'm a little concerned/confused... I just logged in to MDX to play around with a few dummy FP+ reservations since we'll be making our reservations next weekend. I wanted to familiarize myself with the system before it was "go time!" Anyway, we are staying onsite and have all of our tickets linked, however, when I went into the calendar to practice it only gave me date options up through June 9 (30 days out.) I'm worried now that I'm not able to see 60 days out. Anyone know why this would be?

Is your resort reservation linked also? It has to be linked also to book 60 days out.

I believe it is. It's listed under the My Reservations tab.

MDX can see when your resort stay is, so will only give you 60 days from your specific check in date. You can otherwise only see 30 days out. Once you are at 60 days, your dates will show up. Don't worry! :

As long as you have your resort res linked once you hit your 60 day mark you'll have access to the full 60 day window. But until that time the system will only give you access to 30 days out.

Thank you both SO MUCH! I actually just did an online chat with a CM prior to seeing your responses, and he said the same thing. 30 days is the default setting. Once you hit your 60 mark the system will see that you have a resort reservation and open up 60 days. Yay! Thanks again

I couldn't make it through 102 pages of this. And what I have read between this thread and the other threads gave me a headache

I would assume that it's because offsite guests can book at 30 days out, so it defaults to that.

Sorry if this has already been asked but why can't I see the elsa meet and greet on the fastpass selections? Does it mean they are already all taken?

I believe so.

Gosh the whole elsa frozen thing is a nightmare if you have small children with high hopes

In the MDE app there is a place for changing times for fp's that will let you see what is available. Be sure and pick the change tab and not the cancel.

How does FP+ work if you change your resort and/or dates? If you booked FastPasses and then change your resort reservation, as long as you are 60 days out from your new booking AND you have tickets for the number of days that you could still keep your original FastPasses, they won't cancel them when you change the resort reservation will they?

Currently, I have WL booked for 7/5-7/11 (and a FP+ for Anna and Elsa and the mine train for the 9th). I am changing to a split stay. 7/2-7/7 at CSR and 7/7-7/11 at WL. The change won't screw up my MK FastPasses will it?
