FP+ issue? Then call the prayer hotline according to Disney!

[kohlby]

Well, not quite, but that's the way it ended up this morning. I've noticed others can book FP+ for MNSSHP but it's not working for me. So, I tried chatting with someone through the help website. She was unable to help me and gave me a number to call. She left out a digit though, so she typed it in again with the missing digit. Turns out, she typed it in the wrong spot. I called it. It was a church's prayer hotline. I wish it was that easy to fix FP+ issues!!

*Issue was not resolved, but person at tech was nice and thinks he knows why mine isn't working - but wasn't certain. So, I need to try mine within the 30 day window instead of 60 even though that doesn't match the error message quite right. (I'm onsite followed by offsite).

Is the FP+ you're looking to get during your onsite stay and within 60 days? If so, you should not have to wait for the 30 day mark for it. If you'll be offsite on that day and it's more than 30 days out, then i'm pretty sure you'll need to wait.

I think I have read where you can't get FP+ for the parties. I haven't gone to one, so I can't say for sure.

The Halloween party is when I'm off-site. But since I could reserve FP+ for when off-site after my onsite stay, I thought the Halloween party would follow suit. For off-site after on-site, it's at 60 days, but for each day, you can't do all at once. (I was able to do that with off-site days 6 and 7 on my 7 day tickets). If tech is correct, the Halloween party doesn't follow that rule even though the regular tickets did. I've given up trying to figure this out at this point - thinking what the tech said makes the most sense and might explain why others are able to get it and it's not working for me.

I just thought it funny that I was given a phone number so someone else could help me and it was a prayer hotline.

Not during parties no, but there are many reports of people booking FPs from 4:00p to 7:00p using only party tickets.

Wow! So, I can buy a 10 day ticket, stay only the first night onsite, but book FP's for the whole 10 days at the 60 day mark? Do I have that right? I stay at my offsite timeshare sometimes, so this would be a great thing.... Would it work for an AP too? I thought the AP could only be used for FP either at the 30 day mark or at 60 for an onsite stay.... Only for the number of days on site.... Very confusing - I thunk my head might explode

At 60 days, you can book for your entire onsite stay, even if it's more than 60 days, as it goes with your first day to hit 60. (So if onsite for one night, you can book both the arrival day and the next day though the next day would be 61). Then if you go offsite, you have to book one at a time when they each hit 60. It should work for a 10 day ticket. I don't know about AP's though. I've seen several people doing throwaway nights at the campground, figuring they'll get 2 days of parking and earlier FP+ picking. (We're not doing that, we're onsite for several nights). I'm not sure if it was Disney's intention to set it up like this or a loophole that a lot of people are going through. So, I'd suggest checking right before 60 days to make sure it's still in effect.

Ok, that was my understanding before reading this thread (and AP can always book up to 7 days of FP at the 30 day mark.... That moves to 60 if staying onsite).

No FPs available after 7pm on party nights for anyone, it has always been the case even with paper FP. The same goes for EMH. They can be booked for between 4 and 6.55pm for those with just MNSSHP tickets who have no other FP+ booked for that day in other parks.

What time were your passes for? I've never heard of anyone getting FP's after 7 pm on a party night. Are you sure it wasn't between the hours of 4 and 7, when they let party guests in but the official hours haven't started?

You and I read that post completely differently.
