FP+ Question

[Bertie9396]

We are going to Florida in December (The few days before Christmas - probably December 22 or 23 - I'm not going to attempt Christmas Day or the week between Christmas/New Years). We will be staying offsite. We will be doing just one day at MK (its OK, we've been there before and know we can't do it all in one day - especially with the crowds that time of the year). So, since we are staying off site, if I order our tickets ahead of time from Undercover Tourist or CAA/AAA, will we be able to log in ahead of time and pick our FP+ attractions? If those tickets don't work, what if I ordered directly from Disney? We had friends who went in February and they weren't able to do so and after about 45 minutes of wasting time trying to figure it out at the kiosk, they gave up and just dealt with it because the crowds weren't too bad. If I understand correctly, however, that has changed VERY recently. DD is 9 and we haven't been there since they opened the New Fantasyland. What would be the attractions you would recommend getting the FP for? When I ask Dd what she wants to see or do this time, she says "It doesn't matter, I love everything!" I am myself very excited. #1 -I've never been away on vacation for Christmas break and I'm taking over 2 weeks off work and #2 - I'M GOING TO DISNEYWORLD!

So, since we are staying off site, if I order our tickets ahead of time from Undercover Tourist or CAA/AAA,

1. will we be able to log in ahead of time and pick our FP+ attractions? If those tickets don't work, what if I ordered directly from Disney?

2. We had friends who went in February and they weren't able to do so and after about 45 minutes of wasting time trying to figure it out at the kiosk, they gave up and just dealt with it because the crowds weren't too bad.

3. If I understand correctly, however, that has changed VERY recently.

DD is 9 and we haven't been there since they opened the New Fantasyland.

4. What would be the attractions you would recommend getting the FP for?

1. By then, very likely. (That's a long way off.)
2. Things with FP+ are changing.
3. Things with FP+ ARE changing over time.
4. A very complex question to answer, so read THIS thread.
