Hi y'all!!! This thread has 150 pages on my iPad app .... I've read several pages with amazing information.... Thank you!!!! However my 60 days is July 7th which is coming up quickly for my first time booking FP+,... -and I'm wondering if someone could tell me which page to look at for instructions on how to actually MAKE the FP+on the system?? I just read something about copying your FP to everyone in your group.... How do you do this? I'm kind of freaking out.... And I'm prepared to try and read this entire thread if I must, but if someone could Assist in directing me that would be fabulous !!!!!! Thank you in advance!

Sorry, but this particular thread does not include this info. If you log in to the MDX website though, I have found the interface easy enough to use.

Just go on the mde and practice booking for the next 30 days. It really is pretty easy and you just delete them before your 60 day window opens.

60 days out as of midnight - MDE shows 60 days until trip. Logged in with AP and DVC linked Disney.com account. Shows hotel stay in 60 days on the screen and ADR's are there too.

FP+ Calendar only gives me 30 days under FP+.

Am I missing something?

I had the same issue, read another thread that said it's a nightly occurance and would probably clear up by 1am, and it did. I got the three FP I wanted. We're not getting in until afternoon so had to get late ones, so I scrunched it around so Spaceship Earth is first and we can hit it as soon as we get there. (although I'm kind of surprised it needs one?) If we miss it we'll pick it up during Magic Hours.

Can you only make 5 days of reservations at a time?

My window just opened and made the first 5 days. When can I finish the next 5?

TIA.

Do you have the ticket media with the full allotment of days? It will book for the length of your ticket or reservation, whichever comes first.

I have an upcoming trip 8/22-8/25. It's my DD (14) and myself. I booked the trip through the WDW website as a package with 1 day tickets (non-MK) and bought Villains Unleashed tickets through the site also.

Today is our 60 days mark and I'm trying to make FP+ reservations. Planning on hitting HS as early as we can for Villains Unleashed (5 pm??) and doing Epcot Sunday 8/24.

I log in and am able to schedule 2 days worth of FP+ for DD but only 1 day of FP+ for myself. We both have the same exact tickets listed in MDE.

It's my understanding that we should both be able to schedule 2 days worth of FP+, even though one day is for a hard ticket event. Or did she just get lucky in being able to schedule 2 days worth of FP+?

Anything I can do to fix this? Thanks.

Is the first post in this thread up to date with the changes in the tiers? I thought I heard that some of the attractions in Epcot had changed levels. Just wanted to be sure because we are coming up on our 60 day mark and I want to be ready.

Thanks

My family will be traveling on Dec. 12 and arriving late afternoon. Instead of purchasing a park ticket for this day we opted for Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party. I know it's probably wishful thinking, but does anyone know if I would be able to book any FastPass+ either prior to the trip or at the park the day of while in MK with MVMCP ticket only? Thanks!

Going by my experience with Harambe Nights (I assume MVMCP will be similar), you will be able to book FP+ for that day in the park, although FP+ has not been available during the actual event in previous years. Generally you will be allowed in the park around 4PM for a 7PM party, so you can book 4-5, 5-6, 6-7pm time slots (if available). Not sure about the booking window since I purchased tickets so close to the actual event, but I assume they will be a number of days in advance.

It just popped into my head to try the MDE app on my phone (I was using their website) and it worked! I was able to add my 2nd day of FP+ reservations.

I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction to the correct thread. I've search this thread and I'm not finding the answer.

So my question is, has anyone figured out what the best time to take your 3 FP+ at is to minimize waiting? I have to kids, 5 and 9 so I'd like to avoid 30+ minute waits. Originally, we thought loading up on FP+ this morning so that by noon to 1pm we could start booking the bonus FPs. While we were doing these FP+ we would ride things the kids would like as fill ins.

However, some have mentioned that waits get longer between lunch and dinner and this is when you should schedule the FP+ to save the most time. If you book earlier you can line the up back to back during this peak time and use the early morning hours to ride things that aren't busy.

So I'm wondering the following:
1) When is the best time to use your FP+
2) What availability are people seeing for booking FP+ additional bonus picks? (4+)
3) Do the rebooking bonus FP get longer? Maybe #4 books 1 hour later, #5 gets longer, #6 even longer.
4) Are the most popular rides available for bonus picks, or if available, are they so late you limit your ability to boot multiple bonus FPs?
5) Are people finding crowd levels are different, i.e. heavier at rope drop, certain times of the day etc because of this system?
6) Are there any other tips and tricks?

You will get varying opinions as these questions are park and crowd dependent, and also depend heavily on how you like to tour. My own experience the first week of June (6-7 crowds) was that quality 4th FP+ are available most days at 12-1, depending how you define quality. You will not find Soarin', TSMM or the Mine train. As an example, we were usually done around 12-1, and we picked up RnRRC, Malestrom (? quality), BTMRR and POtC for later in the evening. BTMRR was not available one day but was there at 7PM on another.

In general, I found the 4th FP+ useful only at MK, or if I wanted to return to the same park late at night.

Getting there early still works but things seem to be a bit busier in the morning than I remember.

This was our second day in the parks and our MagicBands have been ferric. No problems with FP+ so far, we even made a change on the fly. I didn't take a chance and went online through my iPhone. By the time I singed off and check the app, the change was made.

 

[juliehoey]

I think I understand but if someone can clarify--If you do not use one of the three FP's that day and it 'expires' time wise, can I book my fourth as I am leaving the park and coming back later to an attraction I already had a FP for that morning?
Example:
9am-Indian Jones
10am-TOT
11am-RNR
Not use Indian Jones if they decide to head over to RnR first; it expires. Can I book my fourth FP to be ToT at 8pm that evening at the kiosk?(if available obviously)
