FP - am I ready?

[dlmig]

This is the screen shot of what my FP+ screen looks like... just me listed and it says "valid park admission is required". My other screens have my tickets listed and resort reservation listed so I believe it is all linked properly. I know from reading other posts that this is common that no one in my party is listed besides me but they will be there when it is time (on day 60). I am just double checking that this is what it is supposed to look like (our 60 day window opens tomorrow night at midnight). Also, I see some people are able to "practice"... I don't see how that is possible given what my screen looks like. That's why I am getting nervous that it isn't right.

Thanks in advance for you help.

I can see all three of us - & I can check our boxes as well to set them up. I just can't do it for my trip (65 days) but I could set them up 30 days out if I wanted to use my FP+

Yep, that's what you'll see until your window opens. Just make sure your other family members are listed in My Disney Experience in general.

What do you mean by "you can check your boxes to set them up, but can't do it for your trip"? Are you saying it's letting you get into the FP selection, but you don't have any valid dates to select from?

The PP has separate tickets. The OP has a package so has to wait until exactly 60 days before the check in date.

Package tickets are not active in MDE unlike separately purchased tickets that are active upon purchase. Your package is what allows the 60 day booking window to open. Your tickets become active on your check in day.

Mine looked the same, on my 60 days all members in my party appeared.

Making FP+ was easy, I feel like I stressed allot for nothing I even missed my midnight time and did it at 6:30am and still got what I wanted, although I was not looking for Anna and Elsa. I took the first option I was offered and then when back in to switch things around.

Good luck !

Yep - OP should be just fine!

I was stressed as well and then was not able to mak my selections until 7 PM on my 60 day mark. Everything was available inluding A&E. Today was my 58 day mark and I was able to move times around very easily for all 5 of us for major attractions.

That is GREAT news NavyDad. Thank you everyone. Wish me luck! I will report back my experience when I am done for all those that are as nervous as I am.

Update: I logged in a midnight last night and everything worked just fine! YAY! I am so glad I read all these posts about how to do this though because it just isn't all that intuitive. The biggest challenge was snagging those covetted Anna and Elsa FP+'s! I was able to get FP+'s for all six of us for the last day we are there (6/30) at a good time (4pm). Then I went to the first full day we are MK (6/24) and tried to get Anna and Elsa (just to see if I could get something earlier in the week). I was able to get two and two just barely overlapping but was not able to get the last two for my party of 6. I was able to get 7DMT on our first full day (6/24) and all the rest for the week (Toy Story, Soarin' and all the other headlines) without any problem at all. The biggest challenge I ran into was when I was trying to get those last two spots for Anna and Elsa it automatically was giving me something different (Meet and Greet Cinderella) because Anna and Elsa wasn't available. I didn't notice it was Cinderella not Anna and Elsa for a few minutes. So, just be super aware when using the copying feature that if it can't match you exactly it will give you something similar and with all the anxiety in the moment you may not realize it! Thanks everyone for your help!
