Off site, premium pass holder procrdures. Asking for my niece in Califonia.

[Spoiledraf]

My niece is coming from Ca. And just upgraded her Disneyland pass to a premium so she could use it at DW. She is coming with her finances family for Dec. 22 through Jan 2. And she asks me where are good places to eat. And I'm like, you don't have any reservations? Newbees! Well I don't want to be a Debbie downer so I let that go and told them they better get on line and see what's available. I suggested they gat to the MK as early as possible on any of those days. So that's what I am dealing with. They have no idea about FP+ and I don't know if they can make reservations with AP or being off site.
So i need info. and only a week away!
can they reserve FP+ now?
HELP!

I just watched a special on Disneyland food and I hope she won't be disappointed with the dining.

That said--we LOVE LOVE LOVE Raglan Road at DTD. Driving may be a pain--but it may be worth it.

Counter service favorites are all in EPCOT for me. MK has pretty good counter service as well.

Being an AP holder, she should be able to make FP+ 30 days ahead of time regardless of being off site. She needs to set up an MDE account as does who she is traveling with--then these accounts can be linked. She needs to attach the tickets to the account. FP+ is easy after that.

Barring a supremely busy time and last minute--they should still be able to find most anything.

I just checked this morning and I could have gotten all mountains at MK or TSM and other top attractions with a variety of times from open to close on Christmas Day with only 12 days until Christmas.

So she mostly has nothing to worry about as she shouldn't have much trouble for something next week which isn't going to be quite as busy as Christmas week. If she wants to do mine train, FP+ won't be available, but hitting it at rope drop (or near closing) would likely be the shortest wait times.
