FP 60 days out

[zetachi]

So I'm 60 days out tonight at midnight and I'm only seeing blue on the calendar until March 24. Should I be worried or will April turn blue after midnight or should I be on the phone to Disney to check? Don't wan't to lose out on my 60 days.

Thanks

You have to wait until exactly midnight, eastern time, before your 60-day booking window will open.

My date for FP+ 60 day window is March 1st. Is that 12:01AM on March 1st morning or 12:00 AM March 1st evening? I had always heard "midnight" but didn't know if it was the morning of or evening of.

12:01 AM on the Morning of the date. So if you are March 1st once 12:01 hits on the 1st you can FP.

Great, thank you! Now, I just need caffeine to stay up that late!

Actually, to be fully accurate, the time will be 12 Midnight, Eastern Time, March 1st.
(Which is to say, one minute after 11:59PM, Eastern Time, February 29, 2016.)

I was planning on being ready to go before midnight, so this is still fine.

Ugh!

You and I have the same FP window. Good luck.

Have a related question. Will I really hurt my chances of getting FP + for 7DMT, TSMM and ROL during my May trip if I wait until after I get up at 60 Days? I'm in bed at 10 PM and get up early to catch an early bus to work, so I don't want to be up at Midnight for Fp +.

That's one of those unanswerable questions.

You might be fine, but if there are a lot of others who happen to be arriving on your date and decide to book at midnight...
you just can't know for sure.
I can tell you that some FPs are so hard to get that guests attempt to book them
starting on the LAST date of their trip,
just to maximize chance of grabbing a particular FP at the end of their trip
(when less folks have already booked those distant dates.)

I try to err on the side of caution.

Again, you might be just fine.
But, only you can answer how important getting specific FPs will be -or won't be- to your trip.

Honestly, with the possible exception of the Anna & Elsa M&G, I would be shocked if you couldn't get everything you wanted at pretty much any time during the day after you hit the 60 day mark.
