FP+ w/ new, unactivated AP (and staying on property)

[anomamatt]

Hi All,

I'm a newbie, first visit to WDW will be in Feb/March. Since booking that trip, we have made additional WDW plans for May and Dec 2017 (I clearly have a lot of pent up desire for WDW and our kids are finally "old enough"). I've been doing the math and I think an AP makes sense. But here's my question:

If I buy APs, and we are staying on property, how does FP+ work if the AP has not yet been activated or used? Obviously I want to activate the AP as close to our trip as possible (to maximize the 12+1 months), but will that mean I cannot get 60 day out FPs?

Thanks!

Your AP doesn't activate until your first day of use.

Your AP doesn't activate until your first day of use.

But can I make FP+ selections prior to activating the AP? 60 days when staying on property?

Yes! When you attach your AP voucher, you'll have an open 30 day window.

At exactly 60 days before your check-in date, you'll be able to book for all your park days.

Awesome, thank you so much!
