If I am staying offsite and have 8 day tickets, can I book FP starting at 30 days for all of the 8 days? Or do I have to do each day at the 30 day Mark?

One day at a time, as mentioned in the OP.

I have a question about annual passes vouchers. My 60 day mark is tonight. We're traveling with several families arriving at different times. My daughter is getting married at Disney while we are there. She has received the voucher card for her annual pass (a wedding perk). I keep telling her she should be able to link the vouchers to there MDE. Is this correct? Does is work like a regular annual pass voucher? She sent me a picture and it looks like a card and it does have a bar code with a number on it. The number stars with 431. She is also concerned this will activate the pass but I've told her it won't.

There is no downside to trying, it will not start the 365-day countdown for sure. APs only get 30 day advance booking without an onsite stay.

Looks like I have a little reconfiguring to do, seems to be a 10K character limit with the new software--which means I can't edit the OP in its current form to keep it updated. Fortunately I own Post #2 also....

They do have an onsite stay and we're linked in MDE. She has a room only booked right now since they have the passes.

Good, just making sure. Now I see that in your signature...getting used to this new animal.

Thanks so much for your help.

I'm still trying to figure this out too. I do like that there is a like button now.

First post edited and split to first two posts, still working on improving it with this new 10K-character restriction.

Looks good Mesaboy! I can go back to mulling over the MK list now...

Thank you Mesaboy for all the information! This is very helpful.

I am rethinking my Epcot FPs, I booked Spaceship Earth, Character Connection and Soarin. I am thinking of switching from the Character Connection to either Nemo or Turtle Talk. I feel like am going out of my mind going back and forth on what to do. When we went on our last trip we were able to do the single rider line for Test Track and then walk onto Mission Space before our Spaceship Earth FP and I am hoping that works out again.

Maybe switch to Turtle Talk?

Is anyone else as indecisive with this FP+ stuff as I am? The headliners are no brainers but this middle ground stuff makes me crazy.

 

[chloelovesdisney]

Well I switched to Turtle Talk, now I will ponder that one non-stop.

Got all my FP+ for the first part of our trip. Now I am crossing my fingers things will go as well for the second part of it.

Our 60 day FP+ window is fast approaching and I am trying to decide what is best for our family and DS, DD first trip.

Anna & Elsa is a definite FP+ as we are already ADR for Cinderella's Royal Table.

DS is 5 yrs old and is very excited about test track at Epcot, but won't tolerate the wait times I've read about. DH doesn't want to have FP+ for every park booked 60 days ahead as it will remove any spontaneous plans and park hopping in an effort to use them all.

Is it possible to get Test Track FP+ the night before on the WDW mobile site?

This would allow us to choose the next day park based on weather, projected crowds, extra hours and how we are feeling.

Thanks!

Depends what time of year you will be visiting, but would say it's a possibility? You would not have your pick of times, though, if something were still available. Best bet if you really want to ride TT with minimal wait but don't want to schedule a FP would be to head right there at rope drop.

When booking FP+ you have to select 3 experiences all at once?

At Epcot you have a single tier 1 and 2 tier 2. If you are only truly interested in your tier 1 reservation is there any downside to just not showing up for the other FP+ reservations? After you tier 1 FP+ is used can you cancel your tier 2 bookings and get your in park FP+?

You don't have to show up for any, no downside that I know of for sure. Any you haven't used can be rescheduled, I believe even after they have passed. What happens when you cancel FPs day-of gets a little murky based on the various reports I've read here.

Seriously, why is this thread not a sticky???
