FP+ Booking Window - Confused

[jAcKs_x0]

Hi everyone,
I tried searching the thread to no avail, but the booklet I was sent in the mail says my FP+ window opens on March 27, 2015, but we check into the Poly on May 26, 2015. Shouldn't my window open at midnight on March 26th?

Sixty days prior to your check-in date. Are you accounting for months with 31 days?

Here's an app to use:

I prefer this site for calculating booking window dates.

Could be a matter of semantics. When you say "Midnight on March 26", do you mean that all of March 26th has passed, and at midnight the calendar rolls over to March 27? If so, then that would be correct. Your window opens on 3/27. But it opens at the very first second of 3/27 which takes place immediately after the very last second of 3/26. So 3/26 is the day that you want to stay up late...until it becomes 3/27.

Yep, I could definitely see that.

Ah okay, I did forget to account for the fact that March has 31 days.

Originally I thought that it would be midnight after all of March 25th has passed turning into March 26th, but actually it is all of March 26th passing turning into March 27th when I will do my bookings!

Thanks for all the helpful and quick replies, it would be much easier if we ran on a 24 hour clock ha!

Or they made the FP window open at 10:00 a.m.
