So if they are doing a Monday through Saturday trip they start booking their most important fp's on Saturday and work their way to Monday. By looking on Friday they have more of a chance of getting what they want because the people who started their vacations before her probably already took up the fp's in the beginning of the week if that makes sense.
I do similar to you. I make my schedule of parks I want to visit based on attendance and EMH, late nights with sleep ins, then work my way through the adrs and then when it comes to fp, I will search for my most important ones first regardless of the day and then do the rest after.
I must be as naïve as Snow White.
The only ride that would be impossible to get the first few days of your stay would be FOP. All the rest will be available still. So book FOP first for late in your stay. If you want specific times for 7DMT or FEA book those next, but there still should be plenty of times to pick from for those even on the very first day of your visit.
Do ADRs also work this way? Can I make dining reservations for my whole week, beginning at the 60-day window?
Lol. I had to do a double take when I saw you quoted yourself.
This was awesome, and a good lesson for getting what I want for each day of our tour. I understand there are no guarantees and this is a general guideline, but it makes total sense to me.
I think I'm now just understanding it. Somehow I got the impression that I could book FPs at 60 days "minus" length of stay. So as I understand now, for a week's stay I could book ALL my FPs at 67 days out. This makes a huge difference for me. Without anomamatt's explanation, I would have been waiting until Day 60 to book everything.
Yes and same goes for ADR's.
I don't think this point is emphasized enough. All the talk I ever hear is 60 days for FPs and 180 days for ADRs. Perhaps it was always staring me in the face and I never got the concept of "plus length of stay". I do now.
Wait..... I want to make sure I'm not reading this wrong.... if the first day of my vacation is 67 days out I can book today? I thought it had to be 60 days from the first day but can book all the days of the vacation at that 60th day. I've been 7 days late this whole time???
We are here now and we have been able to get fast passes same day on three different days for the Avatar flight ride. I tried for months before and no luck and now finding it easy to get them on the same day. I just kept on trying every half hour and at one point could have even chosen any time of the day. Same for ADRs. Was able to get all of the ones we wanted at the right times on the same day.
That's what I thought. I guess I misread what a pp wrote about being able to book to book all of their fp's 67 days out. 67 days from their 7th day there not 67 days from their first day there.
