Off site stay; trying to book fastpass+

[jrmcvay]

We will be coming 5/18-5/22 and will be staying offsite. Today is my 30 day mark and I got on the website last night at midnight to try and book our fastpasses. I had already linked my tickets to my account.

I thought I would be able to schedule all our park days (5 day park hopper tickets which does show on the MDE website). However, it only let me book them for 5/18. The other days were still greyed out. So I have to get on at midnight for the next 3 nights to book each day? I'm too tired for that!
Anna and Elsa were greyed out for my first day. We have another MK day planned for 5/21 and I'm so hoping I can manage fastpasses for that one.

Thanks for the help!

If you are getting up only for Anna and Elsa, just stay in bed. No more FP for May left . Those have been gone for a long time now.

We're going the exact same time as you, so I was on MDE last night too. I'm pretty sure I remember reading somewhere that if you're offsite, you do have to schedule each day of your trip 30 days out from that day. So, I did AK last night and will do Epcot tonight. I think it's only on-site guests who can schedule the whole trip out from their first day.

Ok, thank you! At least I know someone else will be up too.

Don't quit trying for those FP+ for A&E though...I had all but given up, but finally scored some...and they fit right in with our plan for the day! You never know when someone will rearrange their schedule or cancel and move to a different park for the day. Wishing you some !
