No more FP Copy ??

[misse336]

I have been logging into MDE several times a day for the past 2 weeks in hopes of copying my A&E fp over to my dd (without any luck).

Today when I logged into MDE a new screen came up to:
1. make new FP selections
2. change fp selections
3. cancel fp selections

When I click on the change fp selections I can't find the copy option. Did Disney do away with this overnight or am I just missing it? I'm hoping that I'm just missing it and someone can point out where it is now located. Thanks.

I logged on at 6:00 - same page as yesterday. Logged in at 7:00 a.m. and got this new page. There is a new checkbox to the effect that moving forward WILL cancel or change your FP+ and you agree to that.

I actually had good luck with the new page - I was essentially doing a "copy", so I selected the 2 attractions already under FP+, and I attempted to add a 3rd attraction that the other people in my group have. Bingo! The "Best Match" showed the same times for the 1st 2 (no changes) and the optimal time for the new attraction (the same time the rest of my group has). It didn't mess up what I already had -yay! Plus, there was a cancel button on each page - so I don't think you LOSE your FP+ until you confirm the new choices.

I think Disney is sick of people accidentally canceling FP+'s, and/or the copy feature was faulty (it certainly was on the app). OTOH, maybe this is just a test and it will revert back in a few days!

The problem with the copy feature is that if the ride/attraction isn't available, it doesn't tell you that, it just cancels what you had scheduled and then books you for something else entirely. :/

I used it several times in the past, mostly without any problems, but I did have a problem with it once trying to copy the MSEP.

Edited... Just checked and no, I don't see the Copy feature either. I would suspect they did have too many complaints of it not working as expected and got rid of it.

Someone in another thread posted the work-around to get to the "copy" function. There's a link that says "add friends and family to existing FP". Click on that and it brings you to the copy screen just like before.
