Type A planner needs help!-MB Expert needed!

[MommyBell08]

My husband and I have two sons, and three foster daughters. We are going to DW in Sept. and as of now, the girls are coming along. They will be Four, Two and One at the time of travel so we will only be purchasing a ticket for the oldest girl.
With foster care, things can change, so although we can be forever to these girls they may not be with us when we go. SO. My normal self would have already purchased our tickets and linked them to our reservations but I haven't yet. I have some questions...and IM STRESSING.

1. Is the window for booking FP+ still 60 days and is it projected to stay that way?

2. Are FP's for popular rides hard to get, like ADR's at popular places? Im afraid of purchasing FD's ticket last minute (I'm going to have to) and not being able to get the same times for her to ride as ours if I book ours at 60 days

3. Is there a place to see the amour of FP's I can book at each park and what rides have them available?

Thanks for your help!!!

1: Yes and yes.

2: Once you purchase FD's ticket and link it to your MDE you'll be able to copy your FP+ reservation to her.

3: For now it's 3 per day and they must be within the same park. The Disney Blog posted just the other day though that due to feedback they're working on guests being able to schedule more the day-of and within a different park. All attractions participate in FP+.

Personally I am waiting until July 1st to worry about our September trip and FP+. While I still like keeping up to date and being on here I won't worry about my actual trip planning until then.

The reason is if you are going in May for instance you would have had 1 idea in November, another at the start of January, another at the start of February, and now a whole new possibly more than 3+ FP+ by your trip in May.

They are calling it a "test" because realistically what is true today might be completely opposite tomorrow.

In the end don't stress and don't worry, going in September should give us a leg up as crowds will be at their lowest all year. The only thing you should stress out about is if you want bring 1 or 2 swim suits.
