FP+ question

[Meldev]

Thinking of changing our visit to right after Thanksgiving and start our stay at the Dolphin. Of our 7 night stay we'll be stay first 4 at Dolphin, then they're sold out, so transferring to a different hotel thereafter.
Through Costo.com we can book Dolphin package and buy park tix up to length of our stay. My question is, since those are bought through Swan/Dolphin package, can i book my FP's for all of the days I have tix for?

Meaning, I will buy 7 days of tix with my package, though I'm staying 4 nights at Dolphin, and 3 somewhere else (TBD) Can I book FPs at 60 days for all 7 days?

I'm pretty sure you'll need to have 7 nights of onsite resort stay reservations in MDE to book all 7 days of FP+ at 60 days out.

Not exactly.

You can book FP+ for all of the days of your package at 60 days from check in. Then, if you stay offsite for the rest,you will be able to book 60 days out from each individual day.

The Dolphin is onsite for FP+ purposes. The length of the Dolphin reservation will give you 60-day length of stay benefits. For any additional days after your Dolphin reservation, you'd have one-day-at-a-time 60-day access. But the second onsite reservation will provide length of stay benefits for that portion of the trip anyway.

Sorry if this is confusing. It barely makes sense to me!

Edit: Oh sorry- I didn't realize the second portion of the trip is offsite.

Thanks for clarifying. We have a off-site/on-site split stay coming up at the end of the month and I had to wait for the on-site portion to reach 60 days out to start booking FP+.

Yeah if you flip the offsite portion to the beginning, this "system" doesn't work. It seems pretty arbitrary to me.
