Possible good news for offsiters and FP+

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.

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.:drinking1
 
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.
 
You can cancel them.

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.

Who knew?!
 
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.
