I can only FP half my trip...was wrong info given?

[bride03]

Here is my stay:
May 25-June 2nd - off property
June 2nd-5th - All Star Music

I have a Platinum Annual Pass

I was booking FP and got up to May 31st. When booking June 1st, it said I had the "maximum number of FP+ allowed" for my whole party! Is this new?!

The cast member told me: If you were staying with us for 14 days, then you would have been able to select FastPass+ for 14 days. You can only make 7 days worth of FastPass+ with your annual pass.

So I asked when the other ones will be able to be booked.

She said: When you use the first day of FastPass+, then you can make it for the 1st. When you use the FastPass+ the second day, you can make the FastPass+ for the 2nd and so on.

Then I said: But with my resort stay on June 2-5, I should be able to reserve my fast passes 60 days out.

Then she said: Yes, but you have 7 days worth of FastPass+ already before your trip.

Then I said: So basically, if I had a regular ticket and I was staying 14 days, I wouldn't run into this problem?!

She said: Yes, that is correct! I do apologize for the inconvenience.

WHAT!?!?! Am I just not understanding something here?

You can only select FP+ for the number of days on your tickets. There are no 14 day tickets unless you are coming over from the UK.

I have a Platinum Annual Pass though. I don't have individual tickets.

The OP has an Annual Pass, so number of days available on the ticket is not the issue.

Correct. If you're AP, you can only book 7 days of FP+ within a 30 day window. So yes, you can book day 8 once you finish day 1, day 9 once you finish day 2, etc...

Don't fret too much. With the exception of FEA and 7DMT, you won't have tons of trouble finding things. May not get the perfect pick of the litter for time slots, but it won't be horrible at all.

Missed that. AP holders can only have 7 days of FP+ at one time.

 

[bride03]

I have FEA and 7DMT already. That makes me feel a little better. That policy seems crazy to me!! Is this new? I kept asking and the CM was dodging my question. I took a 14 day trip last year with my AP and booked all days ...I guess it's because I'm not staying on property the whole time.

If your entire stay was onsite you would be able to book for your whole trip, but since it's not the 7 day max for AP kicks in.

 

[KalamityJane]

I have an annual pass with more than 7 days of FPs booked but 2 onsite stays. From what I've heard, if you have an onsite stay, it negates the 7 day rule? But not sure about the offsite the onsite part.

 

[lovethattink]

It's the offsite stay putting a kink in your plans.

 

[BuckeyeBama]

The reasoning is sound. It keeps local AP holders from booking all of the FP+.

Yes, because you have a Split Stay: offsite to onsite the system limits you to your 7 day max.

Your previous Stay must have been totally onsite because with an onsite stay, an AP can book for the length of the stay as long as they didn't have any other offsite days booked prior to the stay.
