FP+ question

[megs193]

We are going to Disney in May and staying the first night at the Swan and the next 4 nights at the wilderness lodge. I ordered my magic bands online after linking my wilderness lodge reservation. We have now decided we will go to Epcot the day we get in. Since our wilderness lodge reservation isn't until the next day will we be able to book FP+ reservations for that first day at Epcot. TIA.

You can't prebook FP+ for any days prior to your check-in date at a Disney resort.

So that first day in Epcot when you are staying at the Swan you can only make your FP+ selections once you get inside the park that day.

Of course, these are just the current rules and are subject to change without notice.

Currently, no, you won't be able to pre-book FP at 60 days until your on-site stay starts. However, things are changing for off-site visitors (including the Swan) and it may be possible in the near future (I'm thinking April, but don't hold me to it).

Do you have tickets linked to your MDE account? If so, and you click on the Make FP+ button, what date does it say you can start making FP+?

Can I ask why one night at the Swan? If you switched the Swan night to the end of your vacation, you currently will be able to book FP+ for your entire stay...

We initially planned to fly to orlando the next day but ended up booking a flight that was a day earlier. We booked the spring room offer and it isn't available for the day we fly in so we ended up booking one night at the swan with points.
