FP booking order - thoughts?

[MickeyWaffles]

FP booking is right around the corner for us.

We’ve made some adjustments to our plans, so I was just going through and prioritizing the order I need to book the hardest to get FP.

Would you switch the booking order at all? Wondering if I should attempt to secure FEA for 60+2 before SDMT for 60+4.

Here’s the order I plan to follow while booking. Any input/suggestions appreciated!

1. FOP (for 60+3) - trying to book this first since it’s hard to get and especially since it’s only at 60+3
2. SDD (for 60+5)
3. SDMT (for 60+4)
4. FEA (for 60+2) - we’ve never had trouble getting this before, but slightly concerned since a major tier 1 (Test Track) will be closed
5. PPF (for 60+4)
6. TSM (for 60+6)

Your list looks fine. Will you be able to find an assistant to help book FPs? If you split your list, you can book SDD and FEA sooner.

Ahh! Somehow I never thought about having a helper for the FastPass signup. Can you both sign in under the same Disney ID on two different phones?

Yes.

My husband isn’t connected to everyone I’m booking for on friends & family yet so I didn’t think so, but now I know he could do it on his phone at the same time with my ID! Thanks for asking that @TinkTank01!

We’ll split the list. Thanks for the tip!

OP, you may not want to do this because it could drive a person nuts . . . but . . . you can sign into MDX on all your devices and make not-quite-simultaneous FP+ reservations yourself. For example, you could make the FoP on your computer, the FEA on your phone, and the SDD on your tablet. Assuming you have all those devices and can deal with the multitasking.

It looks good.
the only one you may have trouble with is FoP at 60+3.
If there is any way to move AK to later in your trip, it will help your chances of getting a FP for FoP.

Yeah, it’s gonna be a tough one. I wish our AK day could be later in the trip this time, but it’s really the only day it works for our group.

We’ll give it a shot and hope for the best!

If you can't get a Fp, we have done RD and arrived at the tapstiles 1 hour before park opening.
We have also gotten in line about 5 minutes before park close and had a 30 minute or less wait.
We've also had luck getting FPs during the day with refreshing frequently.
Good luck!

Can you explain the 60+3, 60+5, fast pass reservations. I don't understand what that means, and I"m trying to make plans for our June trip for 9 of us lol

60 = Check-in date
60 + 3 = 3 days after check-in etc. for other + days.
