Why can't I book my Fast Pass Reservations? Help!

[SarahSummer]

I booked a room on rented DVC points (for the first time ever) staying at Boardwalk Villas. The reservation shows up in my Disney account along with my dining reservations and all. I received a booklet in the mail when I booked it months ago that had a magnet reminding me to book my fast pass reservations on July 8th (60 days before my trip on Sept 6th). I logged on right at midnight and it shows that my trip is 60 days away. I tried to book my Fast Pass reservations but it says that I can start reserving them on Sept. 6th. What on earth??? That is the day we leave for our trip. Why is this happening? I have an annual pass which I think normally allows me to book 30 days in advance but it was my understanding that I could book 60 days in advance with my hotel reservation. Does anyone know what is going on? Please help. I have spent months putting this plan together and then spent the last 5 hours finalizing the details. Am I going to miss out on the mine train ride? Does anyone know what this is about? Thank you

I am due to arrive the same day, and have a reservation at the Grand Floridian. I didn't purchase through disney, but have everything linked up. I'm having the same problem. I'm on central time, so not yet midnight, but it says 60 days out when I log in since it is after midnight eastern. I also can't see anything past the next 30 days.

Same thing happening to us

I am having the same issue. I have booked thru Disney arrival is sept 6th . it says I cant book till sept 6th. what the heck. I am tired. this Disney vacay is too much work. I have free dining which I upgrade to deluxe , not sure that has anything to do with anything.

 

[SarahSummer]

OK I'm glad I'm not the only one having this problem. I am also on central time but figured I could make my reservations at midnight eastern time. When I logged in a few hours ago it showed that there were 61 days left until my trip and then when I logged back in at 11pm it showed that there were 60 days until my trip so I thought everything was good. But then I started trying to make my FP reservations and it's not working. So frustrating.

 

[MatthewsFamily6]

Ours said "july 8th" and then at stroke of midnight switched to sept 6

 

[Tonyz]

Oh I was once young and naive, too!

I had the same problem Saturday night when my 60 day window started. Even made a thread about it! Try again at 1:00... you should be good to go!

 

[BahamasBride03]

Same here!!!

 

[kohlby]

I'm waiting here too. I came over to these boards to see if others were having the same issue. It's good to know I have company. I am staying at the Dolphin and really hoping it works. I didn't want to stay up extra if it was working for others.

 

[Tomservo]

Same here.

Wait until 1:00 Eastern and you'll be able to do it. This has been happening to people for weeks.

 

[matdrew]

I am eastern time. at midnight it switched to sept 6th. oh boy. I am sooo sleepy. while we are here. what are you guys choosing as your fast passes? I afraid I will pick stuf on different ends of the park. I should have researched better. However I spent all my time on the wilderness resort pool mess and what to do.

 

[BahamasBride03]

I am so glad it isn't just me. SO relieved to hear about the 1am switch (midnight for me in CST). I thought I researched everything i needed to know for tonight...and of course I missed this one detail that would have saved some stress!!!

I knew I had seen a thread.



Thanks!

I was going to have to get up at 5 for MY CP package but those are open already so at least I wont have to stay up to 1 and then get up early too.

 

[kohlby]

For those who have been through this before - what's the best way to check it to see when it works? Will just hitting refresh be enough or do I need to log out and back in?

 

[SarahSummer]

I am so tired too. It's hard for me to stay up this late. I will stay up though hoping things will be fixed at 1am Eastern time. It just doesn't make much sense to me that the Eastern time zone would have 1st shot at everything. But I will keep waiting. Thank you for the help. I'm glad I'm not alone with this problem. I have been looking forward to this trip for so long and I thought I had it all perfect which is why this is driving me over the edge with anxiety.

I have a pretty good plan worked out for my friend I think (She better appreciate this!) for her and her family. Its taken HOURS more than I normally plan.

Then I have to do it again for myself.

I think its most everyone.

But this is a bit much, I agree.

 

[kohlby]

Yes, it's everyone. It's not midnight in whatever time zone you're in but sometime after midnight EST. Those of us in EST just get to be more tired than those of you in other time zones.

 

[BahamasBride03]

I am just trying to tell myself it is only one night and will be worth it. But oh my goodness I am tired too!!!
