Sorry if this has been addressed before....

I have an annual pass. I also have a room booked for 12/8 during my family christmas visit. I currently have the ability to make selections for fastpass through the end of January. So, I get to book sixty days out... Even though my trip will be long since over? Not complaining, since I got to book them for my birthday, but found it interesting! Anyone know when it will fall off?
 
That is weird.

We have AP's now--but could only book for 30 days now.

I wonder if it is a computer glitch.

I had a reservation for October 18 to 24 with an AP and it showed the calendar for 60 days, even dates after. But when I tried October 25 for the fun of it, it would not let me do it, I was still in the 60-30 day window.

Do you have an active room reservation?
 
Same thing happened to us! We got AP's when we moved here in August. A friend of my husbands gave us a night at SSR from his DVC. While in the park That night I just happened to look at availability for FP+ and I noticed I could book 60 days in advance! I was so excited because I was able to get 7DMT and at the time we hadn't been able to ride it! I thought it might disappear as time went by but it stayed and we used it 60 days later!

Coming up--but not yet. Would be interesting to see. But we are likely to cancel and it appears that seeing and being able to actually book are two different things.

We do have 2 AP and 4 Fl Res--I had clicked on Dec 20 and the system didn't freak for all 6 people. I went and double checked the black out dates and sure enough they do start prior to Dec 20. I didn't proceed with booking FP+ since kids wouldn't be able to get on anyway. But that seemed weird that the system didn't "yell" at me.
 
We upgraded to APs on our Oct 2013 trip. On our June, August, and Sept trips (all onsite), the room reservations all triggered an ongoing rolling 60 days to be able to book FPs. We got 60 days + length of stay for the dates of our hotel stays, and then rolling 60 after that.
 
But once you trip is over it will revert back to 30 days. We stayed Sept 7-10 and I was able to make FPs on last day for 11/9. When I logged in on Sept 11th I was back to 30 days. So for us it's great. Hopefully nothing that will be closed. I lived on last minute trips and can't get FPs for some rides because they are gone. It's not uncommon for us to decide on Thursday we're going for the weekend. FP+ kills the spontaneity of it.
 
Does this skirt the 6 day AP rolling quota for FP+? At one point, AP holders could only have 6 FP+ reservations at a time.
