[siskaren]

When did the fast pass booking time switch from 12:00am to 7:00am?

Sometime in May.

Hi all - Hoping someone here can help as I personally don't have experience with this scenario:
I have friends who are arriving at WDW in 28 days, but say that when they try to book their FP+'s, it only allows through the end of September & they don't arrive until early Oct. Also helpful info for you to have is they are staying off property (which is where I have no experience - I ALWAYS stay on property) I do know that they will only be able to book a day at a time, but it is so strange that they only see Sept highlighted as available to book. Any thoughts are helpful! Thank you!

Offsite guests can only book fast passes 30 days in advance. Are they within their 30 day window?

They should be able to book fps for the next 30 days so they should be able to book up to Thursday, Oct 6th.

They are - that is the strange part. Unfortunately, they live in England so it isn't like I can actually look at it with them to see if there is something they are doing wrong, or not, but they say that their tickets are linked and assigned to each of them and that they can get as far as selecting a day for the FP, but it only allows them to book through the end of September. It seems so strange to me. I'm thinking they might need to play "CM roulette" and call Disney directly and hope they get someone who really knows what they are doing

I know, but they can't for whatever reason. Only through the end of Sept.

It may be worth a call then. Seems strange. We often stay offsite and haven't had this problem. They should see a rolling 30 day window. Good luck to them. You're great to help them out!

Yeah - I'm thinking that is likely the best course of action at this point too. I feel badly for folks who try to do things in advance, but aren't able to for one reason or another. Thanks for your kind words

They need to manually advance the months...could that be the issue? They aren't switching the calendar to October?

Hmmm...wouldn't it be something' if it is as simple as that?! Sometimes the obvious eludes us, so it is entirely possible! I'll ask them for sure. Thanks!

For my dec trip I am staying offsite (SOG) but we have annual passes. Am I correct that I will have to wait til 30 days before to make FPs? Also will I have to do then one day at a time or will the AP enable me to make them for my whole trip? Thanks! I am used to staying no onsite so this is new for me!

That is what I thought when I first read the post, hoping this is the case and that they will be able to book for the rest of their trip

Yep, at 30days, and IIRC from last year, it was having to get up each morning to do it!

30 days is correct if you are staying offsite. You will have to make your FP's one day at a time. How many days are you visiting the parks? You can only hold 7 days worth of FP's out of 30 if you are staying offsite.

I've tried searching, but can't find an answer for my situation. My fastpass window will be opening in 28 days, and I'm busy trying to come up with a game plan. It looks like FEA is not available our EP day so we will rope drop that. Travelers will be DH, me, DS(51"), DD (40" in the am), and DS (18 months).

At EP can I FP TT for DH and DS1. And use rider swap for me, DS1, and DD. Then, use mine and DD fastpass for Soaring and use rider swap for DH, DS and DD?

Thanks!!

Yes! That's the perfect way to utilize Rider Swap and FPs. Schedule in height restricted rides at the other parks in the same manner.

Thanks! After reading all of your advice while searching for my answer I was hoping you would respond.

I was fairly certain it worked that way, but then worried that the CM might not give a rider swap if two children were staying behind.

I'm now just hoping DD grows a bit before November so she can be 40" all day.

You won't have a problem at all. Even if your husband used a FP by himself, he could ask for a Swap pass. Any 3 riders can ride on the Swap and the Swap passes are usually valid until the end of the month.

Happy planning!

I need a little help please. Our trip is over Christmas and New Years, but my annual pass expires on December 29th. I need to make FP+ for December 31st.

So my question is~~~will i be able to renew my AP before the 60 day mark? Even if it's just 1 day ahead? And will it let me do this online or is it better to call? Will the renewal also be linked to the MDE?

I know i need to renew my pass but it falls on exactly the day i can start my FP+ selections. We are also staying on site at POFQ.

Any ideas as to what i need to do

Plus my DH has a 5 day PH and a 1day on another ticket all linked to magic bands. Will he be able to make FP+ if we start on Monday to Saturday which is 6 days worth of tickets.

So sorry for all the Q's I hope this makes sense
Thank you for your help

This was asked a few pages back and the poster reported being able to call in the renewal a few days early to enable FP booking.

And yes, hubby can book 6 days of FPs.

Good luck!!
