FP+ this morning.....(10/08)

[Queen of the WDW Scene]

Worked fine just as it always does for me.
Made all of my selections within about 8 minutes and then spent about 15 minutes modifiying to perfection.
Anyone else have a good experience with FP+?

I think it's actually quite an indictment of the system that it's newsworthy when it works.

I’ve never had an issue booking FPs.

I think it's actually quite an indictment of the system that it's newsworthy when it works.

My point is that I've never had an issue with it and yet every other day on here I read people not being able to make their fastpasses which makes me confused so just trying to figure out if I'm the only one that it goes smoothly for every time.

Just made my fast passes in about 10 minutes tops. I was blown away at these ease of doing so as I have read some real horror stories as well as it wasn’t quite that smooth when I made them back in April for our summer trip. Also, I wasn’t able to get Slinky Dog at all on any of our days (we rode it in July though) but I was able to get FOP at 60+2 so that was nice. You win some you lose some.
Random pug dog because I own one.

It seems as though there are days when MDE works just fine, and then days when it doesn't. I had never had any issues booking FPs until last Monday, Oct. 2nd. MDE kept shutting down.

I can make mine on Friday, hoping to get SDD! I have a 5 night trip so maybe I'll luck out.

When it works it works very very good but when it works bad it is horrid.

I think it depends on what is happening 60 days out. I started 7 am CST and it took 3 hours. Very lucky i didn’t have go anywhere. Not a good use of my time

 

[Trinity88]

No issues for me either. Got FOP on 60+4, SDD on 60+5!

It works for plenty of people, most of the time. But it does seem like half the time people have issues or it's down for everyone. But think about it. How many times a year does your fp window open? 2 or 3 times maybe, if you have 2 or 3 trips booked.

It's easy to see why many people never have an issue.

It worked fine for us a 3 weeks ago. I was nervous but no issues. In fact, we got 2 sets of FoP. (60+4 & 60+8)

Glad to hear MDE was behaving this morning! My FP+ day is Thursday, so I'm getting anxious/excited! Sounds like SDD probably won't be available since our HS day is only 60+3, so now to decide between AS2 and TSMM...

Booked mine this morning too. Got everything I wanted. It went very smoothly.

I am feeling very blessed! After reading so many horror stories about getting FP+ I was worried, but I had a great experience! So just know it is possible!

I am in CA, so I was up at 3:50am to get ready. Got logged in on my laptop (and had my ipad and phone right next to me for backup) and at 4am I clicked in. I got 4 days worth of FP (12 total) and was done by 4:12am!!! A few of them were not really the times I wanted, but I took them. I got Slink and FOP, which were our priorities!!!

When I got to work at 8, I went on and was able to adjust 5 of them to closer times that I wanted!

I am one happy girl!!!

 

[SaraSpringsIsHome]

SO happy to read about positive FP booking days, and even better your got your top priorities!!!

 

[ClapYourHands]

No issues for me either. Got FOP on 60+4, SDD on 60+5!

These are my reservations, too! Also 7DMT for 60+2 and 60+3. I was able to get them without issue back in September, even though there was a problem with linking our hotel reservations past 60+1, so I was a few minutes late on the draw getting that straightened out.

But about a week later, everything went to hell with the MDX "upgrades" and that's when people had a terrible time. I'm hoping people's smooth experiences now are an indication that MDX is working properly again...well, as properly as it ever works anyway.

We've got less than a month until our trip, and I'm really hoping I'll be able to make extra same-day fast passes. Fingers crossed “refresh” works for me!

Made mine this morning as well and initially had some issues. Got on right a 7 and it the page wouldn't load a few times and then it came up with an error page. After several times of this I was finally able to get on. Unfortunately the time frame I wanted FOP was all gone by then but I got everything else. Picked an alternate day for FOP as we have one flex day for whatever and park hoppers so not really concerned about it.

last week, October 1st and 2nd I had nothing but problems. It took 2 days, and 8 hours of trying. two calls to tech support (No help either time) 2 devices and a lot of going back and forth but I was able to get the FP's we wanted.

I got the following error messages which were all glitches

1. You don't have a ticket
2. Somebody else does not have a ticket
3. You have maxed your picks for that day
4. Calendar does not show days as being active to pick
5. You have used up all your days on your tickets.

I am not complaining, just explaining and even with all the problems once I figured my way around them it wasn't that bad. As I said we got everything we wanted.

That sounds awfully frustrating. I’m glad you still got what you wanted!

Glad it was good for you. Last Tuesday 10/2 it took us an hour to get 6 days worth of FP+'s for our trip on December 1. Hopefully the system is working better. The only possible thing I can think of and people here will not doubt chime in to agree or disagree, but I think the day of the week you arrive may have something to do with how many folks are looking for FP+'s starting on the same day. What I mean is we are arriving on December 1, a Saturday and reserving FP+'s was difficult. If my calculations are right 60 days from today would have your first day being Friday December 7 (which coincidentally is the day we leave). Maybe so many people's first day is a Saturday that 60 days out the system gets really mucked up. Might try booking the next trip to arrive on a weekday instead of a weekend and see how the bookings go.

Gotta add this, I went to look at FP+ over the weekend and other than SDMT, FOP, and SDD there were FP+'s for all the other rides and most had decent times as well. It seems the big 60 day rush is basically for the big three rides only.
