Possible good news for offsiters and FP+

[ArwenMarie]

So if you stay on site for one night but purchase tickets for longer, you get Fp+ for the duration of the tickets?

On the "Throwaway Room" thread, someone posted that this isn't working anymore...I'm not sure what is going on with it, but it might be worth checking out that thread.

Interesting. Why would the "close" a loophole if they are opening it up for everyone soon anyways?

Hmm...wait...the 13th+ would be beyond 60 days, right?

I dunno, if they are closing it, maybe it's because that was part of the testing phase and they are moving out of that. It might be closed as a side effect of something else they are doing.

ETA: just re-read the post in the link above...hopefully the person will come back and update if they could book more.

I think it's the latter. Something is happening with ADR's and FP+, but I haven't a clue what they're up to...

In any event, as of today, MDE says I can make FP+ reservations starting tomorrow, for our visit to the Dolphin in mid-April. I will post tomorrow, if that would be helpful to the forum, to let you know if the date on MDE changes.

Sigh. As of this morning, MDE says I can make advanced FP+ reservations for our trip starting on 4/18/14, the day after our last ADR for our trip.

Bummer deal! I was so hoping with all my being it would work. If only Disney would come out and tell folks what the plan is, I think it would ease some if the frustration. I know I'm holding off making plans for taking my sis and her family until I know how offsite.is going to work. It's a one and done for them so I need to make sure we can do all the headliners in 4 or 5 days.

Mine still says I can make FP+ on Feb 13th. I will update after I try on the 13th!

Wonder if we'll get an update today.

This exactly. Adjusting to the changes will be difficult enough, but to not know even the general direction, much less a potential timeline for implementation? arrghhh.

Wonder if we'll get an update today.

Here's to hoping.

I know we had a few people who said they could do this on February 13th! Any luck?? How did it work out??

Been keeping up with these threads. I have not seen anyone say they could book yet with tickets linked and off-site stay. When midnight rolls around, it changes to a date in April (April 17th for me).

I have an AP linked to MDE. My next trip is June 1-7. I was just able to go into MDE and make FP+ choices for March 24! No room booked, no ADR booked. I was able to book all three choices at MK for that day. Of course, I can't get rid of them now!!
I was surprised that I was able to do that. When did it change?

You can cancel them.

Just want to check...have you used FP+ on a previous trip?

I also have an AP linked, but I still have to wait until Sunday for my resort reservation to kick in...

Yes, had MBs for our one night stay at Pop two weeks ago. I made FP+ choices a day before we got there. It was a very last minute trip up from the Ft Lauderdale area. I went in early Dec as well....made FP+ picks for that one as well, well before I got there.

Tried. It wouldn't let me. Will try again later. Just canceled them. Sometimes my laptop doesn't allow me to do the same stuff I can easily so on my iPad. I am able to book FP+ up to April 13. Without a room booked. Wonder if its due to my AP.

Then you are "active" in the system with your AP. AP holders who had a qualifying resort stay get "activated", and then they can book FP pretty much from then on, with a limit of 7 (some get 14 for unknown reasons) within a 60 day period.

There are so many of them, and they all seem to be griping a out one thing or another, I just stopped reading them. Duh.

Has anyone staying offsite, without AP, been able to get FastPass+ yet? We are going Apr 26th-May3rd, and are REALLY hoping to at least be able to get our passes somewhat in advance. I don't care if we have to get 7:00 passes, as long as we get our FP choices.
