I'm headed to WDW Christmas week, so I *knew* getting my FP+ was going to be challenging. I was up early this morning, fully caffeinated with my spreadsheet at the ready, just waiting for the clock to strike 7am. When it did, I clicked on the FP+ icon and...the page wouldn't load. I refreshed, and it still wouldn't load. So I tried another browser. Nope. The app? Yeah, that didn't work either.
While I was watching the "spiral of death" swirl on my laptop (and could literally feel my FOP FPs slip away), I logged out of the app, logged back in and it finally allowed me to start making FPs. This is now around 7:07am, btw. I went to my first AK day, 12/21, and couldn't get FOP, but did secure Na'vi. My second AK day, 12/23, I got FOP for the late afternoon which is fine since we're doing the rhino experience in the morning. I backtracked to 12/22, my HS day, and got a SDD fo 6:30pm. So instead of doing the first part of the day in HS, we'll just go later and spend the morning/early afternoon at DS. MK and Epcot FPs were easy and I got all the times and attractions I wanted, even for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.
Overall, I'm happy with what I have and will try often to switch the Na'vi FP for FOP. It's just frustrating that such a sophisticated company doesn't have the infrastructure to support their own FP system. It was like 7am came and someone forgot to flip the switch or something! How did everyone else at the 60-day mark make out?
