Pixie Dust? - Was able to book my FP+ at 61 days out

[cc1013]

Hi all,

We are scheduled to arrive in WDW on 12/10 but oddly enough, I just went online and was able to book my FP+ selections. I am certain that tomorrow is actually our 60 days (even got the email from TouringPlans this morning reminding me) but I'll take the unexpected bonus. Overall, had no trouble getting what we wanted. The trip will include myself, DH, DSons (2.5 year old twin boys) and my DMom. We will be staying at the Beach Club club level with free dining and plan to do mornings in the park and then come back to the hotel and rest/nap in the afternoon and then head to dinner nearby (Boardwalk/Epcot World Showcase). Here's our plan. I would appreciate any tips as this is our first trip with the kiddos.

For your Adult Rides: Utilize Rider Swap and you can split up booking FPs for the rides. 1 or 2 Adults have FP for ToT and get a Rider Swap pass. Then, 2 of the Adults can ride on the Swap. The 3rd Adult FPs Star Tours, gets the Rider Swap and then 2 Adults ride on the Swap.

You can get double the Adult rides by using Rider Swap. Also use it for 7DMT.

We are going on the same dates as you, I was able to make mine today too, I was thinking it is because I had a room only reservation for the 9th but my MDE showed me 10/11 as my FP date, I even double checked a couple days to make sure!

Your FP Window was based on your room-only reservation. MDE shows you the window opening for your package. It's good that you checked!

I know!! I am so glad I checked. The funny thing is I can't actually make FP for the room only day.

That's because your packaged tickets are only valid for your check-in through checkout of your package stay.

That's great! Hope you got everything you wanted!

I have no clue why mine opened up as we only have the one package reservation (and that's all we have ever had) but I'll take the perk!

I did. I was amazed how much availability there was even for FEA and 7DMT!
