Off-Site Guest FPP strategies, your thoughts?

[staggle]

When are you staying and have you linked anything else besides ADRs?

staying March 15-22. I have my park tickets linked too

Any way that you can cut and paste the actual text of the email here? I would be very interested in exactly what it says. Does it specifically state that you will be able to pre-book your FPs in advance, or does it simply say that you will be able to use FP+. Because if it is the latter, then I hate to burst your balloon, but everyone gets to "take part in the test". But if it is the former, then this is a game changer. Off site guests who book ADRs will be given priority over off site guests who do not. That would be a good start! Little help to us, as we booked our ADRs on our 180 day(s) out and still got squat!

Link your park tickets too. I received the email said I was invited to take part in testing. It said for me to link my park tickets and I would be able to make my fast pass choices. I was able to book my fast pass plus from my phone.

Great tips in this thread

I don't think I can link my tickets. I took advantage of the Ebates/Orbitz 20% promotion (over now) for both DWD and Universal tickets.
So I have a voucher to redeem at the parks.
Unless someone else has a better answer?
thanks!

Still nothing here. I have my tickets, ADRs, Memory Maker, and other "reminders" in my MDE and our first day at WDW is 3/23. Still time for something to pop, though.

Thank you for the info. I am very new to FP+ since we just this week decided to go but off site.
Knowing that I can look for a CM before ropedrop is super helpful. I hope we have luck with this. I also wondered if we should book FP+ as soon as we get in or head right to headliner rides. I need to really consider what to do as soon as we get in.
DHS will have us splitting up right off the bat I guess, so Ods and DH can get to Rockin roller coaster. Can I then take Yds and head to FP+ kiosks to make our selections? This means missing TSM otherwise we all have to head to TSM and chance Stand by and not getting a jump on FP+.
I feel like everything I know about previous trips, RD and FP is out the window. Assuming that could all change before October though. I appreciate the info here.

Thanks for the tips, we are coming from the UK and have been booked for ages non refundable so cancelling is not an option until they have it all sorted out which is what I really want to do.

Will be following this thread with interest.

Thanks for all this great info. We are going 3/27 but haven't received an invite yet for pre-booking. I have had ADR's set for months and just linked my tickets last week. Still hoping!

I got my invite for fast pass plus on March 4th and I am going on March 15th.
