Fastpass booking question

[Jules123]

I have read through the FAQ on the Fastpass thread and apparently I’m just having a blond moment. I have a split stay RO reservation. I am not planning on going to the park until my second reservation starts so my tickets will start the first day of the second stay. Does my FP booking window start 60 days before my first reservation or does it start 60 days before my ticket activation date?

This is from the FP+ FAQ sticky thread:

For purposes of this thread, a “split stay” is defined as two (or more) stays scheduled back-to-back where the checkout date of one stay is the same as the check-in date of the next stay.

Despite some changes to MDX in early 2019 regarding split stays, the system has settled into a new “normal”:

• As before, for multiple back-to-back onsite stays at Disney-owned resorts (or any resorts that qualify for the 60-day advance window) the booking window will open 60 days before the check-in date of the first stay and extend until the checkout date of the last stay.
• If offsite stays are combined with onsite stays, no benefits of the onsite stay will apply to the offsite stay. This is a change from prior behavior, especially when an offsite stay follows an onsite stay. In this case, the 60-day “rolling window” no longer occurs, and FPs for the offsite stay will not open until 30 days before each day in the offsite stay.

So to clarify the first point, it sounds like the OP has two on-site room only stays and only purchasing tickets for the time of the second stay. In this case, would the FP window then open for 60 days prior to the second stay?

[edit]Sorry I missread "last stay" as "last day". So I think I understand the the FP booking will start based on the first stay despite when ticket dates are valid.

Two of the ones in our party are going to the park every day we are there. That’s why I was curious if I can book all our FP at 60 days before the first stay. I am hoping I don’t have to book all of their FP before I can book mine!
