So is the 60-day out FP+ selection time been pretty consistent at 1AM?--not letting me book yet . . .

Many at midnight, many recently at 1:00a.

Same here, buddy!! Glad I'm not alone!

So, just go to the FP selection page, and keep refreshing? I guess I was hoping for some sort of horns and fanfare!

That's what I would do. Good luck!

Is the current FP+ area the same as previous years CP Dining Package special viewing area?

The current FP viewing area is near one of the twin gift shops in World Showcase Plaza.

Hey buddy, how'd you end up doing?

I got everything I wanted! Even had an extra space for my last MK day so I grabbed a meeting with Anna and Elsa!

So far, Fast Pass+ is good with me!

Yup--got it all. Turned on right at 1AM. Just finished Karate Kid, too! My wife makes fun of me because I had never seen it. Not bad . . .

If I was arriving at the park at 5pm, which attractions should I get a FP for.
FYI the park closes at 10pm on a Monday.

Seven Dwarfs Mine Train is the ONLY attraction that we need to experience on this day.

Thanks

I would do 7DMT, Buzz and Big Thunder (and I would pick a time for BT when fireworks are going off...we love to ride BT during fireworks).

DH would do 7DMT, Space MT and Big Thunder (he loves SM, me not so much).

Question for anyone. I have a party of 7 and for some reason on my app on my phone and the my disney experience web site don't match up. It will only let me see fp's for the people in my group that have the same last name. Plus they aren't the same reservations on my app and computer. It is so strange. Also it has let me schedule 4 FP's for myself...I am not a fan of the app.

Next question is that I am currently the only one with the app. So say my group of 5 is on one attraction while I am with my 4 yr old on another attraction....how does my other party access the ride if I have the phone with me? Should they all have the app? Can they all access the reservations? I am trying to avoid the magic bands. We stay off site.

Lastly If I only want to take my 4 yr old to see Anna and Elsa we need 2 FP's or only one for him?

Sorry for so many questions. I am quite puzzled!

1. Trust the site over the app.

2. Either MagicBands or standard tickets will allow anyone access to FP queues.

3. Everyone entering the FP queue needs an FP. (Addressed in OP.) So you'll need two.

Thanks for asking this... we also have 2 days where we will arrive at MK in the evening with no other FP+'s earlier in the day.

I have already purchased 2 of my 5 tickets from UT, but need to get 2 more and my sister purchased hers, which I think I'll do through WDW website, in the interest of time since we leave in 3 weeks.

First - once I pay for them online with Disney, will I be able to start reserving our FP's even if I'm choosing will-call?

Second - if I set the 5 of us up as family/friends group, will I be able to combine all the ticket media for same f/p times?

So sorry if this sounds a little on the ignorant side...I admit, I've fallen on my acquired WDW skills in the last few years!

Thanks.

Nope. High crowds or low crowds, the relative worth of FPs stays the same in my opinion. The list is really based on relativity. (Pan will always be a better choice in terms of saving time than PhilharMagic, for instance.)

Thanks!

I have never seen IllumiNations, so I do not know about the viewing areas, visibility, etc. DD6 will be with us, I know crowd level is 10, Christmas Eve. So I'm not familiar with viewing areas @ EP like I am @ MK & HS. We have had the special seating areas at both & it works wells with small child.

Tomorrow is my 60 day mark and I'm planning on getting up early to book FP+. We are a party of 4. There will be times that we will split up; ie. myself & DS doing A & E meet while DH & DD do SM. When booking the FP+, is it better to book all 4 for A&E, then change 2 of them later, or should I book 2 for A&E and 2 for SM? I can't believe how much I am stressing out over this! Thank you!
