To my initial reading, I thought that even though we have 6 onsite resort days, since my tickets only officially have 4 big park days, I would only be able to book FP+ at 60 days out for the first 4 days of our reservation (which would have sucked because we were going to do 3 park days the first three days, then a water park day (no FP+ needed that day), then a final park day).

This is addressed in bullet point #4 under Booking Windows and Scheduling.

Getting close to our vacation & taking a serious look at our plans. I now may want to change the park we are going to on one day. My question is how or can i change my FP from one park to another park? I'm sorry if this has been answered already

Could we get this thread stickied ? I refer people here on a pretty regular basis and sometimes I have to dig or use the search function to find this thread. I would love to have it stickied, as I think it provides super useful information to anyone planning a trip. Thanks for all your hard work on this thread, Mesaboy2!

If you read the thread you will see that this has been answered many times

You will need to go in and "make new FP selections" - then select your date, park and party like you did initially. It will give you a warning that you already have FP selections for that day - this is ok. It won't change your original picks until you actually select and confirm times for the new ones.

Just double checking. I can make fast passes for half our party at one park and fast passes for the other half at a different park, right?

I believe you have to do everyone together initially, but after that it should be possible to edit them individually--even to a different park. Others here have more experience.

You actually have the option of selecting all or part of your party when you start your selections. But if I remember correctly, that carries through for all days you are scheduling. So if you are only scheduling separately for one day, it's probably easier to do everyone together for the entire trip first, then go back and change that one day.

Thanks for the clarification!

What if you are only scheduling separately for one attraction? Can you still do that?

Should be no problem.

Thanks! I get to book my FP's tonight. I will let you know how it goes. I have to book a lot of FP's with my group at 2 different attractions. I can tell already this is going to be a PITA

And if MK closes at midnight all week, that's 1 am for every day you're booking

Actually MK closes at 1 AM all that week (first week of April) so I'm guessing that FP+ booking begins at 2 AM. And since I can't do my entire trip in one shot, staying off site, I'm not staying up until 2 AM for 6 days to book. So I'll take my chances when I wake up at 6 AM.

The purple link in my signature answers these questions.

Thanks for your help, once again.

@Cluelyss is correct. The moment MK closes is when the booking window opens - exactly at 1:00am.

Oh! I totally misunderstood then. However I'm still not sure I can stay up until 1 am to book FP+ ... we shall see.

 

[Vaninou]

Finally the 60 days are here! Will be able to book my FP+ tomorrow... Will need to wake up early with the time difference...
Hope I'll have all we want!

I have read all the way through this thread and have not seen my question asked. If it has been and I just missed it, I apologize. Are the locations for the FP+ kiosks (for your 4th) listed anywhere? I can't find them. Just wondering where they were so we know where to go on our upcoming May trip. Thanks!

They tend to "move" so I don't think Mesaboy maintains a listing anywhere. MDX can direct you to the nearest open kiosk when you are in-park.

Just wanted to say a quick thanks to @mesaboy2 for taking the time to keep up this thread and answer so many questions!

Booked my FP's this morning with no problems whatsoever and it was nice to have the priorities from page 1 open in another window.

Also, just FYI - I booked this morning, after I had my coffee and got my son on the bus - so maybe 9:30ish. There were still 7DMT and Anna and Elsa (which I wasn't looking for so I don't know times) on several days of my trip (the 3 MK days I have scheduled).
