FP+ - 60 days out!

[sonamae80]

Just wanted to give a positive review for the FP+ reservation system! I was up at 12 AM in order to get our FP+ reservations! I was able to get all the ones for our whole party (all 15 of us!) and it went seamlessly on my MDE app on my phone! And I was done by 12:20 am!

Monday: Buzz, Festival of Fantasy Parade, SDMR
Tuesday: Test Track, Spaceship Earth, The Seas with Nemo
Wednesday: EE, KS & FoTLK
Thursday: Splash, Enchanted Tales with Belle, M&G with Ana 7& Elsa
Friday: TSMM, LMA Stunt Show, Disney Jr
Saturday: Little Mermaid, Peter Pan, SDMR

60 days!

Glad you got everything you wanted.
We've also had good luck on all of our FP+ selections.

We went this past Christmas week, one of the busiest weeks of the year, and I got all our FP+ times that we wanted, also. But I feel for those off-site guests who can't make them until 30 days out. I know that 7DMT, Toy Story, Soarin', etc. were probably unavailable by then, or only undesirable times left.

Planning is key!! Great job! I know a lot of people get frustrated by the level of detail it takes to make it seamless (especially doing this for 15 people! Double kudos!). But it DOES make a difference.

Hope you have a great time!!

Congrats on working on it with the big group, that can be tricky. I also forgot about the whole midnight thing...that will be interesting considering I am usually in bed at 9:45pm

Congrats, I am glad it worked out well for you and your large party! Have a very magical time!

The midnight thing is key if you are wanting a ride such as 7 Dwarfs Mine Train. We went at a 'slow' time and I forgot about the fact you could do this starting at midnight. I got up around 7am ready to do all of my FP's (hit the 60 day mark) and I was shocked that for the 4 of us, the only time available was very late in the day (around 7pm or so). Even though everything else had plenty of times available. If I had waited much longer I might not have been able to reserve it! That means a LOT of people were up at midnight already getting a leg up on this process.

That being said, I checked online once or twice a day (at work on breaks or at lunchtime) and periodically a different time would become available. I was able to switch my time to something earlier which made it much better for our touring. So don't give up if you don't get a ride reserved after your first try, or if you get a time you don't want. Just keep it and check back.

Not true. We arrived the day after Christmas and were off property and I was able to get 7DMT, Toy Story, and Soarin'. Just took a little more work.

I also had a pretty smooth time getting mine for a trip that starts next week. We got everything we wanted and I was even able to move them around a bit about a month later which was in the 30 day window.

60 days!

Thats great. Understanding and planning is exactly what you need to do and what you did. FP+ is simply fantastic. Once you get there you'll like it more. We have used it twice not. Works very well.

Great job! I hope I inherit some of your pixie dust when I make FP+ resides for our November trip!!!

Anxiously awaiting our 60 day mark in July. I will be online at midnight the day before. We have yet to ride the Mine Ride so I'm hoping to get FP this time.

[gordonokc24]

This is great to know. I am already planning mine out so that as soon as my 60 day mark hits I can get the ones I really want. If I have to change them once I am at the parks then I will but positivity is the best.

That is partially true, but you have to remember that you can book your FPs for all your vacation days once your arrival day is 60 days out. So, your arrival day is someone else's day 2, someone else's day 3, someone else's day 4, etc.

Depending on when others are arriving and how long they are staying, they could have been reserving FPs for that same date you are several days before you got a crack at it.
