Promise?
I would hate for my FoP FP to disappear

I promise for her. You are getting advice from the most knowledgeable poster here on FPs.

Thanks, @mesaboy2! *I’d add an appropriate emoji but they are still ‘lost’ for me.

The Board Policy, set by Administrators, is discussion on Canceling onsite reservations after the FP advantage has been gained cannot be discussed.

Thank you so much for your help. Didn’t mean to cross any lines with my question.

The reason we have two reservations is because we just really just can’t decide. Our adult children are paying their own way, and they really want to stay in the park, since that is what we have always done before. We had reservations at WBC, but my girls weren’t happy, so I called WDW just to inquire on pricing, the CM encouraged me to reserve the room before it was sold out. I didn’t want anyone to think I was playing a game with reservations.

Hey all! We haven’t been in five years, so the hard to get FP are all new to me. I understand which ones are hardest to get in each park...my question is how do those rank, 1-4? I’m thinking it’s book Flight of Passage first, then Sliny Dog Dash, Frozen Ever After and finally 7 Dwarfs. But if someone thinks a different order is best, I’d like to know. Apologies if it’s in the 308 pages already!

Probably Slinky then FOP. Toss a coin for third place.

Ok, I have an AP question. We have 2 trips coming up. One off site stay in 3 weeks for 3 days and one onsite stay in July for 6 days. Now I know I can only do 7 days fastpass but here is the thing, the stay in July we booked *free* dining with tickets which I plan on using to renew or AP. Because we have additional tickets can we make 9 days of fastpasses? Our window for July opens next week. The fastpasses for July are more important then our next trip so I can cancel 2 days from our first trip if need be. Thanks as always!

 

[hiroMYhero]

Because we have additional tickets can we make 9 days of fastpasses?

No; the system blocks FP booking because of your linked AP. You’ll need to free up the 2 days that you need for July. Then, as you use a day, book another day of FPs for your upcoming trip.

Quick question, I have a ticket with FP's and that person is no longer joining us. How do I cancel those FP's without canceling them for the whole group?

Select a booked FP and then Select Cancel. Carefully select who needs to be Canceled before you Confirm the changes.

If you don’t feel comfortable Canceling that person’s FPs, leave your FPs as they are.

Thank you! I guess it's the 'onsite' that makes the difference. I'm still *really* nervous - like guinea pig nervous - like waiting for someone else to confirm their FP were intact for the second part of the split stay after cancelling the first part nervous. This is all new to me - even though we are Disney veterans we haven't been since last summer so haven't been through some of the changes. And we have never had to do a split stay before. I hadn't even known about the ADR limitations for split stays. Fortunately through these boards I found that DVC will manually make your ADRs for the trailing split stay!

I just had this situation today and was coming here to to ask about it and saw your post.

My parents had stay A in a 1 bedroom
Then my family was to join them for stay B in a 2 bedroom
These are a continuous split stay

I booked our FP together for 60 days from check in for stay A and was able to book for both stay A (just my parents) and stay B (both families).

My dad is now going to have surgery and they cancelled stay A. I started to cancel the FP for stay A but before I got very far all the FP associated with stay A were cancelled. Which was not unexpected.

But the FP on check in day for stay B (also check out day for stay A) for both families were also cancelled. Even though we will still be there and still have a hotel stay on site for that day. It was not a big deal because it was Epcot and I was able to re-book those FP. But I wanted to check here if others have experienced this and this is the new standard?

ETA: I should add the FP for all the other days of stay B are still there (about 2 hrs so far since stay A was cancelled).

 

[hiroMYhero]

But I wanted to check here if others have experienced this and this is the new standard?

If Stay A was Canceled more than 30 days out from Stay#2’s check-in date, then that’s why that combo day was canceled.

Any FPs within Stay A’s original-initial booking window get deleted when onsite rooms are canceled especially if canceled between 31 through 60 days out from check-in.

Interesting! Thank you for reporting your experience Good news that all were not cancelled. I was too chicken to be the guinea pig and kept the first part of my split stay - DD and her boyfriend will have a few days on us! Please post back if Stay B FPs end up in Neverland

Any FPs within Stay A’s original-initial booking window get deleted when onsite rooms are canceled especially if canceled between 31 through 60 days out from check-in.

So even though she has an onsite stay for that day, the FPs were cancelled because they are considered a part of Stay A instead of Stay B? And apparently no warning anymore.

The PP didn’t say how far out Stay A was canceled. If greater than 30 days out from Stay#2, then that overlap date wasn’t covered by the valid tickets with Stay#2.

Hi

In relation to not overlapping FP rule, is it possible to book my 3 fastpass : 9-10, 10-11 and 11-12? Or it is neccessary to keep a gap higher than 1 hour between FP reservations: 9-10, 10:05-11:05 and 11:10-12:10?

Thank you!

That will work fine.

Stay A was cancelled between 31 and 60 days, but it was after 60 days from check in for stay B.
To clarify though, we did not have package tickets. We have APs. So there were no tickets associated with stay A
Thanks for the clarification!

Hi! I'm doing all the planning for our vacation, and my DH just shows up where I point him towards. I really didn't want my DH to know how crazy expensive it's gotten to stay onsite, so I paid for the first 3 days with my "mad money" while making an adjoining reservation for the rest of the trip out of our shared account. I know that is considered a split stay, even though at the same resort. Will the booking window open for the entire length of stay at day 60, or will it just cover my first 3 days then open at 60 days prior to our second reservation? I've seen so many conflicting reports I'm confused. There is no gap between days. Thanks!

 

[hiroMYhero]

Will the booking window open for the entire length of stay at day 60,

Yes - your window will cover both stays.

 

[123SA]

For early August -- these are the fast passes I'd like. I'm normally not concerned about TOT, but recent reports suggest I should be.

60+3 - FOP morning
60+4 - TOT and TSMM morning
60+9 - Slinky and TOT late afternoon
60+10 - FOP morning
60+11 -FOP afternoon
60+12 - Slinky & TOT morning

I was thinking my picking order should be: 3, 4, 9, 12, 10, 11 Then go back and pick the other days and the the remaining FP for these days listed in chronological order.

What would you suggest?

(the terminolgy - -60 + 3 means my 4th day right?)

Thanks for your help.

Ugh. I thought I had a handle on FP+. Our 60day window opened today for arrival July 6-6nights. We are 2adults with AP and 2adults with 10day PH. I thought I would be able to book FP+ even after my check out date on 7/12 because the 10day tickets are valid from July 6-20. Not the case, the window is only showing as July 6-12. Can someone explain this? TIA, I am freaking out a little
