FP Return Time Overlap

[5infam]

So I read in the FAQ that FP return times could not overlap. I had some trouble last week when I was booking my FP for our New Year's trip, if they overlapped by even 5 minutes. Anyway, I figured that part out and booked what I wanted, with nothing overlaping. So now, I went back in to make a change on FEA for New Year's Eve, to make it earlier in the day. Didn't think there would be availability but there was one there for the 5 of us with a return time of 11:25 to 12:25. I clicked to swap out the later one I had and it went through and I can see it now in my plans. However, I already have a FP for Spaceship Earth from 11:40 to 12:40. They are both sitting there in my plans and they overlap. Is this correct and you can actually overlap FP, but maybe not at the original time of booking? Or am I going to be in trouble come New Years Eve and may miss out on one of these?

Are you sure one of them isn't PM rather than AM?

Epcot is open until 1am NYE so I'm goin with PP's theory.

Sorry, was out all day and just got back. So what you said is totally possible, maybe I just goofed, so I went in and looked. Unfortunately, the FP is gone. I am not sure what I did or what happened here, so I just had to book Soarin instead. I am pretty sure I didn't mess it up with am/pm, because when I saw it there, it was listed first in my itinerary. If it was PM, it would have been listed after my other FP's and dinner reservation. Oh well, I have it booked for another day of the trip, no biggie. There have been several glitchy things like this with restaurant ressies and park tickets, so I will chalk it up to that. Thanks for trying to help!!

I'm so glad you have it booked for another day! I was worried it was going to throw off your plans for that day. Have a great trip!

Thank you for that! Funny enough, my kids, who are really not kids anymore, gave me the "whatever" face when I said that I booked FEA as our first FP for the day, and that I had it booked on 2 different days. They could care less, which is why I am not freaking out on this one. I am always more worried about these things than they are.
