Getting ready for FP+ window in the a.m.

[sweetpea29488]

O.k. I have everything written down for my fp+ window at 1:00a.m. Wish me luck! Hopefully I can make it and not fall asleep during the process.

You will do great!
At about 11 pm, I was convinced I would crash and miss it! HA!
I spent the time looking through the awesome thread of how people have decorated their MagicBands and suddenly it was time to get to work!

The DisBoards are good company during the wait!

Good luck!!!

And I set an alarm on my iPhone for 5 minutes before the window opened, just in case I fell asleep (which I did).

Just don't take anything I want to book! Our window opens 24 hours after yours

I have decided to get a regular night's sleep, wake up around 5:30am EDT like normal, and hope for the best!

Just don’t do what I did. I didn’t know that MMK was open until 1:00 on my day. So I set iPhone alarm for 11:55. I woke up and logged in, then refreshed at the stroke of midnight only to have my first booking day not show up. After several failed attempts and exponentially increasing panic levels, it finally occurred to me check to see if the MK closing time had changed. Sure as Soarin it did change to 1:00 that day. It was not originally scheduled. So, a huge sigh of relief as I reset my alarm and fell back asleep, only to wake up at 2:15 AM in sheer panic again. At that point realizing the next had passed and my 1:00 alarm set went to 1:00 PM by default. I still managed to get in and get what I wanted, but I probably missed out on an earlier 7DMT. I still got one at a reasonable time though.
Anyway, two heart attacks in one night were about all the stress this guy could take. And I thought vacations were supposed to be about decompressing and leaving the stress behind…LOL

Thanks everyone for all the well wishes, advice and information. I prob. won't be able to sleep until I have them booked anyway. nilla, I'll try and leave you some Happy fp+ booking for those that are coming up. Will post how it goes later in the day tomorrow. (If I'm not sleeping at my desk,lol)

I got up a little before 1:00am and got everything I wanted at the times I wanted. I'm sitting here with a huge cup of coffee at my desk. I couldn't sleep before time and then had a hard time going to sleep afterwards but happy I got everything.

Please humor me though. The process looked a little different than I remember from last year but if everything is showing on MDE that I picked in the fp+ spots that means it went through, right?

I booked my FP+ this morning (hours after my window opened), and I got everything I wanted as well as the times I wanted...7DMT here I come!!! The experience went about as smooth as it could go.

Me too. I woke up at 5:25 EDT (15 minutes earlier than I normally do) and everything was available, even 7DMT. All were at my preferred times (or within 10 minutes). Exception: there is no availability for the Frozen singalong, but I hear that is because it is being moved and no FPs are available yet at all.

Thank you and congratulations. I am checking in on June 10, so my time is coming (this Sat). I am a little nervous because I am making the selections for our group of seven and it is my first experience with the "new" FP+ experience. This forum has sure been very helpful.

You should be o.k. I can't believe that I've been tweeking my times all today. Still glad I got up early and did them. I wouldn't be able to sleep even if I waited.
