Split stay on and off site and annual pass

[BubMunkeyBles]

Can anyone tell me what my FP+ situation will be with the 7 night limit. Trying not to freak out too much. Listing my room stays below.

Oct 27-28- 1 night @ All Star Music
Oct 28-Nov 1 4 nights @ Bonnet Creek
Nov 1-4 3 nights @ Beach Club Villas on DVC
Nov 4-9 5 nights @ Bonnet Creek
Nov 9-11 2 nights @ All Star Sports

Have a feeling it's going to turn into a mess.

I've never done a split stay, and haven't stayed off site since the 90s, so I have no relevant experience. This sounded like a crazy Disney word problem that I couldn't resist. Here's what I think.

Note: I didn't properly calculate the exact 30 & 60 days out dates, you'll need to confirm them.

60 days out (approx Aug 29): make FP+ for Oct. 27 & 28.
60 days out (approx Sept 2): make FP+ for Nov. 1, 2, 3, & 4.
60 days out (approx Sept 7): make FP+ for Nov. 9, 10, 11.
30 days out (approx Sept 28): make FP+ for Oct. 29, 30, 31.
30 days out (approx Oct 10): make FP+ for Nov. 5, 6, 7, & 8.

Good luck!!!

If it helps, I decided 2 weeks after our recent 60 day mark to switch an Epcot and MK day. I was able to get all the FP+ that I wanted, including Soarin and SDMT on the new days. You probably don't have to worry about getting in right at 7am every day a new FP+ window opens, at least for the 60 day ones. If you want the new Frozen ride though, I'd try to get that during an on-site stay.

Actually, when your 60-day booking window opens for Stay #1, you'll be able to book at 60 days out for your offsite park days.

The 60-day window rolls forward each day beyond your checkout from Stay #1. Any onsite guest who moves offsite continues to benefit from the 60-day rolling booking window.

Onsite RO Stay followed by Offsite Stay. The 60-day FP booking window will open at 60 days before the check-in date of the onsite RO stay and will extend until the checkout date of the onsite RO stay. Additionally, the booking window will roll forward (a “rolling 60”) each day beyond the onsite RO checkout date until the guest checks out of the onsite resort. This assumes valid tickets are linked to the MDX account.

I'm glad I was wrong even though that was kind of fun to figure out. I just checked for our own stay coming up in mid July and confirmed that I could book fast passes several days after we leave. (We depart on the 21st, and I could still book for the 27th).

So Aug. 29, you'll be able to do up to your DVC villa stay. Then, Sept. 2, you should be able to book most of the rest of your days.

Have fun!

Thanks for confirming!

I hope someone can confirm AP FP booking for an onsite > offsite > offsite > onsite stay. Perhaps @lovethattink can confirm the total # of days of FPs the OP can book?

Here's something I ran into a couple years ago during SWW. We were staying all 5 weekends, Thurs to Mon. One in between offsite. I was able to book every day I was onsite at 60 days. But I had to call for an override for that to happen. I was not able to book any FP for the offsite stays in the middle or it would make the system default to 7 days. But then I also had Mon, Tue, and Wed of each week with no resort stays.
