Midnight unless MK has a 1:00 a.m. closing. If MK has regular hours until 1:00 a.m., then FP should open at 1:00 rather than midnight.

I'm not sure that how late MK stays open has any effect on when you can make FP+ reservations.

There is more than one thread on the dis discussing FP+, strategies, etc.

One of the best if not THE best is by mesaboy2:

His first post will answer most if not all questions you may have. He even answers questions you didn't know you had.

Happy FPing!

They open up at midnight EST. This almost messed me up because I live in California so instead of midnight I was able to start at 9:00 PM the night before 60 days.

I studied the apparent relationship a month or two back, and there have been some interesting coincidences. We'll hopefully learn more next week--when I think we'll get a week full of 1:00a MK closings.

With the "interesting" way the "system" works, I would be very surprised if they would have written a software routine that somehow tied FP+ pre-selection start-time locked to MK's late hours 60 days before X-date.

But, as you say, it will be interesting to see if that situation does trigger an hour delay.

There was a pretty good stretch a few weeks in a row at the end of June that availability opened at 1am (There was pretty much a nightly "OMG, it's 12:03 and I can't book" thread). I know my booking date 6/26 was part of a week of 1am FPs opening up. Not sure what park hours were this weeks

I didn't claim it makes much sense.

thanks all- I will look at that thread, it seems like I have daily 'questions I didn't know I had'

Are you "very surprised"?
