Awesome!

Ack! Adorable!

I bought one of those 2 years ago from Amazon for about $3.00. It still works.

GUYS!!!!! (generic mid-western term for "friends") Guess what???!!!! I just found out a few people have been able to book their fastpasses at 60-days before their RO reservations rather than having to wait until 60 days before their package reservation!!! DO YOU KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS???? (sorry, just excited) It means I need to make sure to check on September 27 to see if there's any chance I can make fastpasses that day rather than having to wait until September 29!

Good news! I hope it works for you.
I didn't even know that your FP day would somehow be tied to your package date. I only have a RO reservation with linked tickets, so I didn't have to think about it. But if I hadn't linked my tickets, I wouldn't be able to make FP reservations just on my RO reservation, so that does make sense.

I hope whatever is making this happen is still going on for us!! Woo! FPP a whole day early for me too!

You should be able to on the 27th, because the way the system works today, FP+ is tied to your MDX overall, not any specific reservation. If you have two reservations on MDX, you'll be able to reserve 60 days from the earliest one, for as many days as you have tickets linked to your MDX.

Sounds like it's a planned change from Disney as opposed to a glitch.

I wasn't too far off then! Funny how I can remember Disney details but can't remember things I need at the grocery store

I know right!! The text I got from my husband this week, "you've devastated you child by not getting her granola, and me."

Okay, who among us has the first crack at Fastpasses? I know some of you arrive on 11/25, is that the earliest of our regular thread members?

Our fastpass day is 9/29! That's just two weeks from tomorrow!

Don't judge, I don't have my park tickets yet.. Need to get focused!! But I check in 11/25.

Hey, I'm happy for you! I'm also happy for me since I found out tonight I should get to do my fastpasses just the day after you do!!

The hours for AK have expanded from a 6pm close to a 7pm close for November, and possibly December.

Yes, definitely December as well. Hopefully they extend even further soon if ROL finally debuts.

In other news... the MNSSHP on Halloween night has finally sold out.

Hi there, I finally have our plans figured out although I am hoping to get ADRs to change my AK and HS days if the fireworks follow the Oct schedule:
Nov 26 - arrive in evening
Nov 27 - Disney Springs
Nov 28 - AK
Nov 29 - HS
Nov 30 - down day
Dec 1 - MK
Dec 2 or 3 - Epcot and TL

I was thinking of booking MVMCP the 27 or 1, but not sure if my little guy will be pleasant by then. Last year by 7/8 he was done. The bus ride back was always miserable as he would get crazy since he was so tired.

I have a FP Question we have a 8:10 breakfast at BOG, should we use a fast pass for the DMT or if we head after breakfast will we managed to get on with little wait?

Tks!!!

A few people on the Lines chat are reporting it didn't work for them, but others were able to

As ususal, get your crap together Disney

Do you take an afternoon break? Maybe if he gets a solid nap in the afternoon he will be ready to party?

Most reports are with a PPO BOG if you are out of there by 8:40ish you can go get in line for SDMT and get a ride in - we did this last fall and got 2 rides (and a swap pass!) which was awesome. We did have a SDMT FP as well, which I had planned to switch for something else if we got the breakfast ride in as planned but my DS7 loved it so much he wanted to ride it again later so we kept the FP.

If I were you I would plan a FP as a back up in case you don't get on the ride before rope drop, then switch it to something else if you do

They only mention trying at 61, not if they have a room only reservation. That doesn't mean they don't, but could explain the inconsistencies.

I can't believe it took this long! My friend will be there on Halloween night. I'm super excited and jealous!!

Why is MDE only letting me customize one set of magic bands? It's letting me do it for my room only at BC but says nothing about my package at CB??
