Will adding DME mess w/FP+?

[Mommy2Corinne]

I've read threads where all FP+ have been erased after a person has added free dining, changed a date or otherwise modified existing reservations.

All of our FP+ are booked. We leave 9/5. We were initially going to take a town car from the airport since we were arriving at MCO so late, but we've changed our inbound flight to arrive earlier (plus my kids are now insisting on riding the "Mickey Bus"). Therefore, I'd like to add DME to our reservation at this point.

What is the likelihood that this will affect our FP+? For the record, we have a room only DVC reservation with tickets already linked.

It SHOULD be 0%, but based on reading other posts here, I'd guess about 20%.

DME isn't even part of Disney its run by Mears. It shouldn't even touch your MDE account. That said you have to do it though the person you rent DVC from since it has to be done with member services.

Great. Lol!

well, I don't have Robo's scientific approach but I'd say you should book with confidence. They transfer you to a different area to make Magical Express reservations and they don't even show on My Disney Experience app/site, so they should be an entirely separate animal. I booked our bus with. Original reservation, but the airline has changed our flights several times resulting in calls to change magical express and those changes have not affected my tickets, room or ADRs (I don't have my FP booked yet, though)

Actually, many people (myself included) have now been able to call ME directly and schedule it themselves. They only asked for my resort reservation number, which I gave and it was no problem.

What number did you call?

just minimize your chances of glitches turning into real problems and print out all of your FPs, ADRs and Res #s - or take pictures of them if you have a smart phone. that way, in case of any problem, you have proof.

And there's a high likelihood a print out would help in all situations...... except on the attractions where you need it most.

Thanks! I will give it a shot myself before bothering the owner.
