Ticket and FP+ planning question for Oct 18

[okienick]

Hello! I've read the stickies on tickets and FP+, and I think I have my answer but I want to make sure I'm understanding it correctly. We are DVC members. My husband and I have annual passes, but our 2 kids will have MYW tickets. I'm probably going to get them 10 day tickets b/c we are doing a split stay at hopefully Poly and definitely at WL. When the FP+ booking window opens, I will have two RO back to back reservations booked at Poly/WL for a total of 11 days. If I get the kids 10 day MYW tickets and my husband and I have annual passes, I can book FP+ at the 60 day mark for the 1st reservation and my window will open for everyone, including my husband and I with APs, for the entire length of stay (11 days total), inclusive of BOTH reservations, correct? TIA!

You will be able to book up to 11 park days of FP+ for the AP holders,
and up to 10 park days of FP+ for the MYW ticket holders.

Yes...that is more accurate. 10 days to match the days on the ticket. My main question was more about the concern of our AP ticket. If I decided to buy less days, like say a 7 day ticket for them, could I pick what day I wanted to start my 7 days worth of FP+? Or would it have to start with day 1 of my 1st reservation? I'm thinking there would be no way for the system to make that distinction except maybe 7 consecutive days from the first day I started booking the first FP+?

Booking of FP+ (and ticket use) does not have to be on consecutive days.

Any unused MYW ticket days stay valid until 14 days following the ticket's first use.

You could use a 7 day ticket on "day 2" and then "days 4-6" then "days 9-11"
or any other combination of days on and days off.

and I could start any 7 days within our 11 day stay, but the window opens on day 1 of my 1st reservation, and then as long as I didn't book more than 7 days worth of FP+, they could be on any 7 days I pick within our 11 days?

Yup.

Sweet. Thanks @Robo!
