Having trouble understanding the thirty day window for APholders

[Gramontherun]

Hope someone can help me understand the ap 30 day window.
Staying off site and plan to book 7 days of fp between Jan 19 and Feb 5th. When does the new "30 day window" open again?
Also is the 7 day ap limit strictly for pre booking on MDE
or can I go to the park and book at a kiosk for that day and not have it counted for the 7day in thirty rule?
Thanks to anyone who can help!

1. The earliest-booking-date is reached thirty days in advance of the first day that you intend to schedule a day of FP+ reservations.
At the earliest, you can only book ONE DAY at a time, as each day becomes 30 days in advance.

Then, after you have (eventually) booked all 7 days in advance, your NEXT opportunity to book one additional day would be
after you have used (or cancelled) one of the days of FP+ reservations that you currently have.

Then, you will be able to continue to add one additional day of FP+ reservations, as you USE (or cancel) each FP+ "day."
It is a "rolling" 7 days, total (if you do not have an on-site WDW resort stay booked.)

If you want a NEW "7-days of FP+ reservations" to schedule, you'd need to actually use (or cancel) all of your
CURRENTLY SCHEDULED FP+ reservations.


2. Nope.

3. Nope.

Thanks Robo!
Still not totally getting it. does this mean that after we use the 7th day of fast passes (Feb), we can then book another, for the next day and so on? or does it mean that after we use one day (Jan) we can then book another for after our last fast pass is used.
I usually catch on to the Disney rules pretty quickly but for some reason this has me confused. TIA Grammy

1. Well, THAT would mean that you could book a full additional 7 days at that point.

2. Yes.
Use (or cancel) a current "day" of FP+, and you immediately get to book another day (if that new day is 30 days or less from the current date.)
