Also, I have one more question.
I have access to my mom's DME account (I have her User Name/Password).
I can also see when I am just on my account, her ticket (AP).
Does this mean I can make the FP+ selections tonight for her with her ticket.
This is what it says when I go to Friends and Family:


Karen can view your shared plans.
Karen cannot view your photos.

Yes, if she is linked to your account, you can make her FP+ selections at the same time you make yours. Also, I don't see anything if your touring plan that would require you to make your reservations at midnight tonight! But, if you're like me, you may just "want" to!

I think I will be staying up to do this tonight, even though I want to be out of the house at 5 am for gym before 8:30 am work. I will, however catch grief from my dh asking why I will stay awake for FP+ selections but not him LOL

How long is the window for each FP you hold? I'm thinking I read an hour, but can't find it. Thanks.

Yes, it's an hour.

OP, Bullet #9.

Yes, I did all mine on 60 days out, and booked Festival of Fantasy viewing and Wishes for our final day (as we're doing the afternoon and evening in MK), so we actually booked those at 66 days out

Thanks! I can't stay up to midnight so I am going to hope for the best.

We will be going Christmas week (Dec 20-27). We will not be doing character meets.

I know it will be crowded that week. Should I book at midnight to get the FP?

No downside other than the time. Probably not necessary though, you'll likely be fine the next morning.

Just booked all my FP+ for Sept 21-26. Got everything I wanted, including the elusive Anna & Elsa for our last day! A couple notes:

1. I was able to book Main Street Electrical parade for Sept 24th, so some parades/fireworks are available to book at 60+ days out. (I also noticed that Festival of Fantasy parade was showing unavailable for at least Sept 21, didn't notice beyond that so don't know if it was just sold out for that day or if its not available at all yet.)

2. I was able to book 6 days worth of FP+ using a 5-day MYW ticket and a MNSSHP ticket linked to the same MDE account.

3. It looks like the latest FP window available on party nights is 5:30-6:30pm. I was on right at 12:00 and that was the latest window that was available on my party night.

PS - mesaboy2, thanks so much again for this thread! Because of it I had all my choices mapped out and somewhat knew what to expect from the system. Helped me get everything I wanted and it only took me around 20 minutes to do 6 days of FP.

My humble apologies if this has been addressed...FWIW I did try to search for the answer first.

I was trying to make practice FP+ reservations (my 60 day window opens Fri) and when I select any random available date I get a pop up that says one or more person in my party cannot make FP+ reservations for that day. My park tickets are loaded and viewable. I even tried making one for each person individually and received the same error message. All individuals are on one MDX account and managed by me.

Is this happening because I booked a package and the system has hard dates for my ticket, thus it is not allowing me to select a date prior to my 60 day mark? I just don't want to deal with a set back like this when my window opens and am hoping to get the logistics down.

I been following this thread for quite awhile and the information has been very valuable. Again, I apologize if this has been covered and I did not see the replies.

Thank you!!!!

Yes, if you booked a package with tickets, you will not be able to access the system until you hit your 60-day window. Once you hit that day, everything should open up for you. There are tutorials on You Tube if you want to get a feel for how the system works.

I have successfully booked all my FP+ for our vacation. It took me less than an hour for the entire week which was quicker than I anticipated. I was able to book MK Parades and Fireworks viewings so they are definitely available. I also was able to get 7DMT with no problem. I wasn't interested, as I have 2.5ds, but there were only A&E available on Sat (for the days I looked) and it was late in the day (our departure day so I couldn't have used them anyway). So if that's what you're after, staying up late may be the way to go. I am having a slight problem, hoping someone can help. Per PP's I booked my entire party's fp's the same. I was hoping to change my mil's so she can take my son on Buzz at the same time dh and I do SM. I can't figure out how to just change hers. Do I have to change her to a different time first and then change the attraction and then go back in and change the time? Just want to make sure I"m doing it right before I screw up all the work I just did. Thanks for any help!!!

When you go in to change, it will give you the option to change the time or attraction. If you have everything else together, you should have no problem changing her FP to Buzz instead of SM at the same time by just changing the attraction option.

Thank You I was afraid to hit the button to select a new attraction thinking it would switch all of us. Now that I know it's that simple, no worries

Just booked all my FP+ for Sept 21-26.

How? These are some of my dates but they don't open til tomorrow? Are u arriving 20th?

 

[seobaina]

Hi

Excuse the questions but I just want to be clear. My window opens tonight but as I'm in the uk 'tonight' is going to be 5-6am. Hence wanting to check whilst I'm still awake

1) at the moment it will only let me book fp for 30days. Will this change automatically when I get to my 60 days? Do u need to keep logging in and out or just refresh?

2) I assume u can book any day within time frame and don't have to book 'in order'. If the thing I want most isn't available can I just change to try another day or will it force me to stay on that date first entered? Ie can I cancel? I can only book for 5 of my 9 days due to ticket assigning so don't wanna waste it.

3) two members of the party only have a single ticket currently assigned. The other two have 5. Will it let me book just for the two or will it cause issues?

4) if I need to change times do I have to do each persons individually? What's this 'copying'?

Thank you. Sorry first time so freaking a little lol
