FastPass - Can you book at midnight?

[Boynton1234]

We are eligible to start booking our FastPass rides on July 17th. Does the system allow you to start booking them at midnight? Has anybody had any trouble getting the times they wanted?

When I booked mine a couple of weeks ago, it opened up at 1am eastern for me. I was able to get everything I wanted at the times I wanted, including 7DMT. I was not trying for A&E, so I can't comment on the times, but it was available as one of my selections. I'm onsite, so that was at 60 days out.

Opened at 1 am eastern for me on Sept 8 when I was booking my friends. I was online a few minutes before 12 Eastern, so I waited for an hour for it to open. They are staying onsite so it was 60 days out.

No trouble getting anything - however I went straight to their last full day in the parks and the first A&E for 3 was a 1pm. after I got all theirs booked I looked, and A&E had some in the late evening on non-party nights, earlier in the trip, but they decided to keep the one on the last day.

Opened at 12:04 AM Eastern this morning for me. Plenty of A&E slots for our party of three at that time, but story here is that most were gone through the first week by 12:45AM. So, if you want A&E, start refreshing at midnight Eastern.

At 12:03, it said I could book for 30 days. Kept refreshing, at 12:04, BOOM! Available through the length of my stay. I'm staying 9 days and have a 7 day park hopper. I could book any 7 of those 9 days. (When I tried to book an 8th day we are going to add, it said I was full and did I want to cancel another day to add this day.)

My window opened today and I was able to log in at 12:01 last night and start booking mine. I was after an A&E one and was able to get it for my second MK day but it was already full for my first MK day.

This morning I went back in and tweaked mine already, as I realized by exhausted self made some silly errors last night - like a 9:15 breakfast at Tuskerhouse and then a meet & greet at 10am with the (basically) same characters.

Ours opened at 12:05am. Ive seen some people say it opened closer to 1am. I would say it is probably between 12 and 1.

If you want A&E or 7DMT then you need to book as soon as your window opens. Even then it is really hard to get A&E. We were lucky to get one on our last day but since people can book 60+ a lot of days were booked when our window opened up.

I have a question- when you book FP are you only able to book for that day, or is it like ADRs where I can book for our entire stay at 60 days?

I was on at midnight last night and it was open. I was able to get everything I wanted except A&E on our first day, but got several options for times on our second MK day.

Did any of you book from your smartphone or desktop? Just curious if it's easy enough to book through the MDE app or if I should sign on through my desktop.

I booked on IPAD using the WDW website. I think you can see more there than on MDE.

did mine at midnight eastern time from my android phone. Was creative with A&E for 2 DD - but able to get all fastpasses we were hoping for.

we are going in NOV. Where are Elsa & Anna for the fast pass and are they together or do I need a FP for each character? THANKS so much!!!

You can book for your entire stay at the 60 day mark. That is how people are getting some of the hard to get ones (A&E) while others find it completely booked out.

A&E are in Magic Kingdom at Princess Fairytale Hall. They meet in the same room (but sepeartely) so you only need one FP. It is listed on the FP+ site as: Meet Anna and Elsa at Princess Fairytale Hall

Most of the questions asked in this thread are answered in the FP FAQ section of the green link in my signature. It may not be a sticky, but it is available at roughly 24,000 spots on this site.

Just sayin'.

I used my laptop.

Thank you! I called and spok with a CM about changing our resort a couple weeks ago. He was not helpful

He then told me I could only book 1 fp day at a time, that I couldnt book the entire stay like you can with ADRs. I thought this was wong!

Maybe he misunderstood you. Offsite guests can only book individual days at the 30 day out mark.

I booked mine at 11 PM Central time and got everything we wanted, included A&E. No problems at all and I thought it was smooth/easy to navigate. I did it on our desktop but I have played around on the app too, tweaking things.
