Question on Reserving FP+ on MDE: for party of 4???

[fa mulan]

I read somewhere (while trying to cram about all the new stuff since my last trip 6 years ago. . .) that if you try to reserve FP+ for your entire party at once on MDE ("Select All" option) there may be fewer windows with a time for that many people . . . but that you can select just 1 person and then "copy" the next members in your party??? Has anyone done this and if so, how to you actually do this? I may have to go hunt for that blog which I think had pics. . .

Am I totally confused about this? I read the FAQ but did not see this mentioned. . . Not sure what to expect when I go to look at My Disney Exp.... tomorrow!!!

Thank you!

You should not have a problem getting most things for your party of 4 if you are doing it at 60 days out. I did it today for Dec. 24-Jan1st for party of 4, and got everything I needed, including Toy Story Mania, Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, and Soarin, all with choices of many times throughout the day. I did not try for Frozen, but it showed available. I know you can copy when say family members are coming a few days later, and you make all your passes at 60 days, but they can't make them till a few days later. You can then copy to them as friends in your MDE acct. This will still only work if there is enough spots open for that many. HTH!

Ok -- thanks! I guess I should get some sleep so I can function tomorrow a.m.! Fingers crossed. . .

You can pick what day you want to start with(and then what park for that day), but you don't have to go in order, so go first to the day/park you are most concerned with, and do that first. I did my MK day to get Seven Dwarfs first, and then HS day to get Toy Story Mania next, etc. You probably know about the tiering for HS and Epcot - you can only pick 1 from Tier 1 and the others from Tier 2 - just an FYI - you will have to pick others on a second day or rope drop them.

If something is not available on the first day, try your second day for that park(if you will be there twice - more people have done FP for first part of week already, so later in the week can work.). If there is something you can't get, you can keep checking back, as people change plans all the time. And then there is always rope drop for any you don't have or want to do twice(like Toy Story for us!)
