Yet Another FP+ Question

[SimonSez]

Why isn't there a FP+ countdown to the day your window opens for selections on MDE? There's a countdown to the actual vacation and also to the deadline for personalizing magic bands, but I haven't seen one for FP. Now I know it's 60 days out for resort guests and maybe we should just use simple math to figure it out (heaven forbid!). But it would be nice to go to MDE and see you have 45 days, etc till you make FP selections. I guess I'm lazy but everything else has a countdown, so I was just curious If there is a countdown for FP and maybe I missed it? Lol I thought we got lucky and our window opened on a weekend day, but noooo it's on a dreaded weekday, my fault for miscalculating the time. See, for lazy people who are bad at math, like SimonSez, a countdown would be nice Guys, is there actually one and I overlooked it?

1. There is a countdown until arrival.
2. The number of days until arrival is on page one of MDE.
When you get to 31, you know that the next day is FP+ booking day.

There are also other easy places to do this.

Go HERE and put in your arrival date.

Thanks Robo, appreciate the info Another example of me making something relatively simple into something difficult, I possess great talent that way

Would it be 61 for resort guests?

Yes - 61. It really only applies to onsite resort guests.

MDE accounts don't know when an offsite guest will arrive.

Yes. Since onsite guests can book fastpasses 60 days in advance, when the countdown gets to 61 days, you'll know that you can book your fastpasses at 7:00 am (eastern) the next day.

Thanks, I've done this before so you'd think I'd know this stuff...been three years since our last trip coupled with short attention span
