would this work or even be possible

[Dznypal]

we get into orlando at 1150 and staying at BLT usually DH likes to rest when we first get in

but since this time were staying walking distance to MK and have annual passes this time (first time for this)

I was thinking of seeing if I could get a few FP for the afternoon what time would be good to check--Im figuring after 2

if I could see Im not going to make it I would cancel--by the way how to you do this

thanks all

Shouldn't be a problem. I'd probably keep it to after 3PM just to be safe and so you don't have to rush (assuming you are riding DME and not renting a car). You'll have to have the additional day on your tickets, but if you do, then making FP for it is just like any other day.

There's no issue with making FP+ for your arrival day -- we do it all the time! If you need to cancel them, just go to the FP+ section of your MDE account and hit the cancel button. Our flight into MCO lands at 9 am and it's usually around noon before we get to BLT, so if it were me, I would make the selections from 3:00 pm on.

thanks for the reply 3pm sounds like a better deal

also as part of our passes we also got the memory maker I was trying to link it to our account but it says I cant use the confirmation # for the tickets but at this point its all I have

usually I know what Im doing but this is the first time as DVC members with annual passes so alot of this is new to me

thanks again for the help

You don't actually have Memory Maker; you have unlimited PhotoPass downloads as a perk of your AP. (It functions the same as Memory Maker, except that it's good for 365 days.)

When you got your AP, you automatically get the AP PhotoPass. It's not memory maker but basically the same thing. You don't need to do anything extra to activate the photopass option, it's automatically synced with your AP

 

[Dznypal]

thanks so much for explaining about the photo pass--thats one less thing I have to worry about trying to link

thanks again for all the helpful tips I should be ready to go now

take care

The flight we take gets us into Orlando around 11:30a We have had days when we are in our room by 12:45 and once we didn't get through the registration desk till around 2p (that was a bad morning all around!)
This time I will do online check in!
But I'd say 3p is a good choice to start with a FP+. And like a previous post said, you can cancel it if something happens!

i usually make my arrival FP+ time starting at 3pm. I usually arrive around noon when I fly in. Works great choosing that time.

We almost never schedule Fastpasses before the afternoon. Your proposed plan is basically our every first afternoon, except for us it's always Epcot. We get in just before lunch, eat, lounge at the resort, then head to Epcot around 3 or 4 armed with a couple of afternoon Fastpasses and an evening ADR.

you might want to do your first FP for 3;30 ( but I would not do any early then 300) since you will have to activate your AP go thought security then there is the 3pm parade and that can be hard to get thought town square if that is going

you can have 330
430
530

and be back to your BLT by 630 to have dinner with your DH

this is just my option but if the OP get delayed at all and is getting to the MK any time after 3 ( 3:15-3:30) it is going to be a pain to move around town square

You have nothing to lose by at least making the FP's. I'd make all 3 starting at 3ish.
