FastPass+ Basic Info, Suggested Priorities, And Strategies--Part II

[disneyholic family]

It's in the first post. I wrote it in hopes that people would read it, but alas....

i did read the first post, but i wanted to confirm it and also to clarify that DD can make the changes on her phone next month..

i also just told her another thing i read in your first post...
about using her husband's MB to go on dinosaur a second time (he can't ride it - it's too violent for his broken back)...
she thought she could only ride it once while he waits for her...
i told her she could ride it twice..once with her FP, and a second time with his..

Sorry, just a little disappointed with all the pre-answered questions--some very clearly mentioned in the OP (not yours so much)--on the last page that were unnecessary.

Lol if it helps, questions keep it on the first page.

But, MESA... If we read the first page that is so wonderful and so thoroughly covered and never had any questions this thread would never have any posts and be buried with no one able to find it so REALLY we are doing you a favor!

I'm a reader and a planner and have 9 trips behind me and I unfortunately asked a question that was covered a few days ago. Sometimes it is a lot of info at one time that just doesn't stick...

Sorry for asking an already-covered-question. You know, sometimes you read and re-read something and just don't see the answer. And then you google it and you can't find the answer. So you ask here because you're pretty sure someone has the answer and will forgive you for asking for the 100th or 1000th time.

Nothing to forgive. I understand there's a lot of info to sift through.

And as the Top DIS thread of the month

I'm trying to book my fp+ and it's not showing anyone except the primary and they are greyed out- but I know we are linked correctly.

when I click on my avatar it says I can begin making FP selections but when I actually try to I can't!!! It says I need valid park admission- I have it, my tickets are on the account!

What's going on!

 

[Suzie3126]

I'm in the same boat and it's making me crazy. Have to be up for work in less than 6 hours. I'd love for this to work!

 

[cookiemonster80]

ok, glad it's not just me- must be still closed.

 

[Suzie3126]

Now comes the real question. How long do I wait it out before I give up and check it first thing in the morning?

 

[cookiemonster80]

are you just clicking on the "make FP selections" and seeing the primary greyed out? Is there another place to check?
When it becomes available will just more people show up there?

 

[Suzie3126]

I've tried to go in a few different ways, on my PC and through the app and all I see if my name grayed out and not the rest of my party. Even though, like you, I know they are on there. From what I've heard through my (extensive) research, the other names in your party become available once you can book. Which is 18 minutes ago. Rar!

 

[lillieandlilahsmommy]

I am experiencing the same thing. I went in to make my selections. It won't even allow me to click on my name. And says I must have valid tickets. I spoke with a Disney agent 2 hours ago to make sure everything was a go, he logged in to my account and he said all my accounts were linked properly, my tickets were linked for all accounts. So I don't understand the problem!

 

[lillieandlilahsmommy]

I don't think it's still closed. It's supposed to open at 12:00a Eastern Time.

 

[Suzie3126]

Just double checked the first page of this thread and looks like we aren't crazy:

1) The prebooking window opens at 12:00a (midnight) Eastern Time.

2)Onsite guests, including those at the Swan and Dolphin, can prebook attractions up to 60 days in advance of the beginning of an on-site stay and for their entire trip. In other words, at 60 days before a check-in date one can make FP+ selections for the entire trip--up to 14 days. This can be done via the MDE/MDX website or app. (I recommend the website over the app, which can still best be described as glitchy.) FP+ can be prebooked for the number of days equal to the guest’s linked ticket.

3)For onsite guests, the 60-day prebooking window will not activate until the 60-day mark. Before this point, the booking window will be only 30 days. At midnight of the 60-day mark, the 30-day window will automatically expand to 60 (or more) days. It is also commonly reported that all members on the account with tickets don't appear on the MDX app until the 60-day mark.

Guess we wait it out? I'm thinking I'm going to bed. I'll be up soon for work anyway.

according to earlier posts it looks like it opened a 1am last night-

If you go back to the MDE sidebar and see your Avatar and then your name in blue. Click on your name. Scroll down to Enjoy FP+. Make Selections, is there a lock on yours (like we are still locked out)? My other two beside it, for dining and to set reminders don't have that lock.

yes, I have the lock, although if you click on it it says you can now start making fp selections

Hi, I am trying to book my fastpasses+ which should be available beginning today, 10-13-14. The disney system is only allowing me to book them through 11-11-14. Does anyone have any idea what I am doing wrong or when the disney system will update for today? Thank you very much.
