Help needed - RE: FP+, magicbands etc.

[minuet]

ok here is what I have:

room reservation booked and on my Disney experience

3 day tickets purchased through air miles, I just attached them to my Disney experience

My Disney experience is saying I can make my FP+ reservations at the 30 day mark and not the 60. Did I miss something? Does the 60 day have to come with a package reservation and not just staying onsite? Can I call them and get this fixed or is this what happens?

I am in Canada so know my magicbands have to be picked up at our resort. Can I still customize them? My Disney Experience is saying they are having trouble with my shipping address and won't let me past that page to do the customizing.

Any guidance with these issues would be appreciated.

ok next dilemma:

We have purchased 3-day park tickets because you cannot get 4-day with air miles and we would like to add the 4th day. Where and when is the best time to do this? I've read about doing your first day in the parks and then paying for the upgrade. Also heard to do it first thing. Again, any guidance is welcome.

Final issue:
picking FP+
I am travelling with my DH and DSis. DH does not do anything that can be considered coaster (BTM, SM, SplashM, minecoaster etc.) In picking our FP+, should I take my chances on these for me and DSis or get FP+ for these DH's FP+ will go to waste? The rides he likes will have not needed FP in the past. (Peoplemover, dark rides, etc.)

In the past it was so simple with the paper tickets. I would get a FP for me, he would wait and take photos (or ride the peoplemover 3 times while I was on SM), and then we'd be on our merry way.
Suggestions on the best way to go about this would be very helpful.

I would call. A person only needs to have a resort reservation and valid tickets linked to their account for the perk of booking FP+ 60 days out. You have those so you qualify. It's likely that it's just a glitch but I'd call to be safe.

Keep trying with customizing your bands. Even with a Canadian address you should be able to customize them, but instead of them shipping to your home they'll be waiting for you at your resort. One workaround is to enter your resort's shipping address as your home address.

As far as the tickets go, since yours weren't "sold" at a discount, you can upgrade before or after entering a park, whichever is more convenient for you. If your DH opts out of a FP+ reservation you or someone else in your traveling party can use his band for another "turn" on the attraction.

Are you at the 60 day mark yet? Until you're actually within 60 days of arrival, it will only show the ability to book within the next 30 days. Once you hit the 60 day mark, those additional days will open up.

This. Once you get to your 60-day mark prior to check in, then you will be able to book. Currently, I'm guessing you don't have an onsite stay within 60 days which means you are treated the same as someone staying offsite and can only make FP+ reservations 30 days in advance.

I knew I would get answers! You guys are awesome!

My 60 day window will open on Tuesday so that's why it's not there yet...ok makes sense.

I will keep trying the magic bands customizing and if I'm nowhere before 30 days I'll call. (I want pretty colours lol).

Last question: (I hope) Can I upgrade to the 4th day via phone or do I need to be there at a park?

At the park. And before your 3rd day has ended.
