FP+ clarification

[teach22180]

I have not been to DW since FP+ began. Typically I buy an Annual Pass when I arrive at the parks the first trip in each year. I am getting ready for a trip, and I think I have discovered I have to buy my Annual Pass before the 60 day window in order to make FP+ reservations. Can some of you all who know more than me confirm this? I can only make FP+ with the ticket number, not the resort reservation? Thanks very much for your help.

Correct. You need a valid ticket attached to your My Disney Account. That, along with a linked onsite resort reservation allows you to book up to 7 days of FP+ starting 60 days from your check in. If you're going for more than 7 days, I'd look at buying a 10 day ticket and then switching to an AP, assuming AP costs more than the 10 day ticket. AP is capped at 7 days, I would assume a 10 day ticket lets you book 10days worth. So that after 3 days, you'd switch over to an AP at guest relations.

Yes, a 10 day ticket lets you book 10 days worth of fastpasses. I have 10 day hoppers for our up coming trip and have 10 days worth of FP+ already booked.

An annual pass and a resort reservation should allow you to book fp+ for the duration of your resort stay. It's only limited to 7 days when you don't have a resort reservation.

If you have an on site stay, you are not limited to 7 days- it is length of stay just as the pp said.

hmm... I know we ran into an issue when we had 2 4n trips within 30 days. It wouldn't let me make FP+ for the last night and check out day of our second trip.

There have been issues with multiple stays within 30 days. We have AP's and have an 8 day stay that is split 3night/5nights. We were able to book 9 days worth of FP's for this June.

AP's can book 30 days out for up to 7 days worth off site- anytime they want. Sometimes booking off site, then trying to book a stay on site will cause issues. Sometimes having more than one trip booked will throw a wrench into it and cause issues. But...if you have no fp+'s scheduled and you have an on site stay- you will be able to book for the length of your stay. Its only when you start splitting stays, have multiple reservations within 30 days or you have booked fp+'s with no on site stay and then try and book an on site stay within 30 days that you might see some issues.

A clean slate with an on site stay books length of stay is what I'm trying to say. If it doesn't, one should call them because it should. We had it not work on my AP, worked for everyone else and had to call them to get it straightened out.
