FastPass+ early start!

[zippy99]

Well today was 60 days - so I took the day off and set my alarm for 4.50am.

Easy peasy! No problem at all and got everything we wanted for our first stay at AKL - despite mixed messages because we have a split stay (with a cruise in the middle) we could not book fastpass+ for our second stay at Contemporary. Looks like I will have to wait until we are 60 days from check in again.

Glad you got what you wanted

Thought you might have to wait for your second 60 day window to open as they are treated as separate reservations

It will be the time you are staying onsite only at 60 days the rest at 30 days

From my experience - despite having 14 day tickets, I was only able to book for the days when I am staying at my first resort.

It realise it makes sense.. disney do not want people booking just one night so they can benefit from a 60 day booking window - therefore if you are not onsite it is 30 days.

Personally, I have a slight grievance, my entire vacation has been booked with WDTC - 7days AKL, 4 night Cruise, 3night Contemporary + tickets. I feel I should be able (with my 14 day tickets) to book my entire trips FP+ but the system is restricted still as my cruise is not recognised as a Disney stay and also due to the learning curve and the difference in UK & US tickets. It will probably take a while to iron it all out - personally I will be emailing Disney to highlight my feelings - not because I am cross and feel hard done by but because I want to feedback so they can help others.

I agree, you should have been able to book the lot. Especially with booking through WDTC. It would be better if they had a few cast members just to help those that have booked a cruise. That way they would not need to change the IT system.( Like a price over ride button on a register in a shop.)

The issue is the fact that neither the UK or US reservation systems recognise split stays - it's not something Disney sells therefore it is and always will be 2 separate reservations and the restrictions that come with it such as DDPs and FP+ booking windows.
