Those were all available as 4th FP options when we were there in May.
So this post just got me thinking...at what point does an AP become "invalid" for booking FPs? DH and I both have APs that expire 11/30. Undecided if we will renew at this time, but have a trip acheduled 10/14-10/17. Am I going to be able to book FPs in advance?Besides the 7 day rule there is also another flaw in their AP FP+ system. My AP expires August 30th (I've had it continuously for about 12 years -- it's a regular AP, I don't live in Florida!). As of about July 2nd, I am locked out for making FPs 60 days out because I no longer have "valid ticket media"!! Since I always visit in September & October, this is a real issue!! I either have to renew my AP 2 months before it expires or wait and hope I can get the FastPasses I want close to trip time!
Two years ago when this issue first came up for me, the CM I spoke with told me I should renew 60 days early!! I don't want to renew 60 days early!
You'll be able to book for October because your APs are valid through November 30th.
It has been mentioned by others but not very regularly. You're the first to mention the 31 day correlation. I think that means you'll have to book an onsite reservation for October to check as to when you can book in August.
I think so. Every time I've had a trip that either begins in a month with 31 days or has the booking window open in a month with 31 days I can book the FP 1 day early
@Mom2Stitch ~ With both July and August having 31 days, perhaps your booking window will open on July 2nd?

If you don't mind checking on the 2nd and 3rd, it will be interesting to hear of your results!
I'm confused on what people are finding. Since the booking window is 60 days, obviously with months with 31 days, that day (#) will be a day later (so for Sept 4, 60 days prior would be July 6, as opposed to the 4th). Are people finding they're able to still book on the 4th? Just trying to understand what they're checking. It's never worked that way for me with AP and 30 days but interested to see if maybe for packages it is?@Mom2Stitch ~ With both July and August having 31 days, perhaps your booking window will open on July 2nd?

That is what one would think. If you read through my posts I was able to do FP a day early on several different occassions. For instance, in July we checked in on 7/22. I was able to book FP on 5/22. However, I couldn't complete online check in till 5/23 (I think I have those dates right, I'd have to read back to be sure)
Something I did was cancel the FP even though we got in the window. We adjusted our plans and wanted to book more in a different park and didn't want to wait for the window to expire.
This makes sense if you are changing parks and don't have to worry about Tiers.
I'm thinking the ride was down and you didn't know. I mean, if you weren't in the park how would you know? I've had more than 1 time where I didn't get the anytime FP notice in a timely manner after a ride went down
You have no need to call the help desk. We have AP and a 10 day stay at POR in July. We booked all 10 days at once. We even were able to book those while we had our 4 days FP booked in June.
Yes but I was saying if you want to book the new FP before the window of the last one expires. This works even if you have tiers. Or it did at HS a couple week ago. Cancelled our SE FP just after it's window opened, it was our last FP at Epcot that day. Booked TSMM at HS before we even headed out of Epcot.
