In case anyone was able to make FP for only half your party and a cast member or someone told you that you’d be able to add them to your existing times, that is NOT true. As I suspected, it is only subject to availability.
We called Wednesday. I sent an email yesterday. And finally I tried to chat just now. The chat person was able to add the rest of my party’s FP, but she had to change times and she couldn’t get them for Mine Train and FOP. I even told her I was concerned about those when she first said she had to change a time for TSM.
Needless to say, I’m fuming right now. Had I been unable to get those at the time I was booking (like slinky dog which was unavailable), no big deal. But now? I’ve been to Disney every year since 2012. I’m committed to this trip since I’m taking my neices, but I will not be back next year. I was unable to get any type of discount, for the first time ever. Now I can’t even get the FP that I made the effort to plan and make on my own time. I think it’s time to give someone else my money for a while.
Am I overreacting? Maybe.
Hope you all have better luck.
