How many days can you have FP for?

[1GoldenSun]

I'm staying at the Dolphin for the week of Thanksgiving, so I need to make my FP on a daily basis (apparently you get the 60 days, but not the 60+). I've been doing this every morning at 7:00am and not one day has there not been IT difficulties, but that's not the point of this thread.

I finally got through this morning and it looked like I was going to be able to make my FP, over two and a half hours after I first started trying, BUT...it says we've reached our max number of FP. The kids and I are going up for a couple days in October, so we have two days of FP there, plus the Monday-Friday of Thanksgiving week, totaling seven days of FP. Is that the limit? The weird thing is that my husband is not going with us in October so he is only at five and it also says he is at his limit.

So what is the limit? We have APs. We've come for up to a week before and I was sure I've had at least a week's worth of FP at one time.

For an AP, you can book the number of days of your on-site resort. If you aren’t staying on-site, then you’re limit is 7 days.

We're staying at BLT on October 16 (just one night) and we have FP for the 16th and 17th. Then we're staying at the Dolphin from the 19-24 (five nights) and I have FP for five of those days (19-23), but I can't get them for the 24th. Is this correct Disney math? Am I not allowed to get them for our departure day?

We just got back from a Dolphin stay and were able to make all our FP+ options at T60 - same thing last April. You are able to make them for your length of stay just like at a WDW Resort.

The system is down today apparently - your "glitch" has nothing to do with your Dolphin stay but with MDE.

The limit is 7 days, unless your onsite then onsite overrides the 7 day limit.

Just keep trying and take a peek at the thread here with others experiences booking today for help/encouragement.

Good Luck

It’s the Oct stay that is causing the max day limit to kick in for your Dolphin trip. I need @hiroMYhero to fully explain, or correct me.

We have stayed at the Swan and Dolphin often and have always been able to make our FP for 60+ days. But I thought I've read on the Swan and Dolphin thread that it doesn't always work. When it didn't work for me this time, I called Disney and was told that the Swan and Dolphin get the 60 days, but not the 60+, but I know, I know, the phone CMs, haha. But I just accepted it because that CM sure wasn't going to help me and I didn't want to wait another hour on hold to talk to another CM.

Oh well, at this point we're down to our last day anyway. I guess I just need to ride out the glitch.

With both being onsite stays, the window should be fully open for the November stay.

OP, call the AP Help Desk and ask for their assistance. DSprings AP guests have needed the Help Desk to complete their FP bookings for lengthy stays.

I've done my 60+ at Swolphin on two different trips.
I'm not hating on you at all, but it's amazing at how much misinformation is dispersed about Swolphin, but then again, that might be beneficial to those who can stay there if it makes sense. Keeps the riff-raff away. (I'm just kidding!)

WDW tech is riddled with glitches recently. Today, many people are reporting FP issues - notably, a message stating that all available fp selections are gone for entire days at different parks.

Fingers are crossed for you!

Lol, well shows what I know. Good luck OP.

Ahh, I should call the AP Help Desk specifically. Good idea.

Hey, you're the one who called upon @hiroMYhero to straighten it out! Half of being right is knowing when you might be wrong!
