We are going for 1 day in July. We are not staying on property. If I purchase our tickets through the app for a specific day will I be able to make fastpass+ reservations? If so how far in advance? Thanks
This. Forget about enjoying yourself. Donate the money to your favorite charity and just watch Disney videos on YouTube. That's about how much you'll get out of FP+.Plan on rope drop because your FP choices at 30 days out will be limited.

Bull. Because you will be locked out of FPs because of tiers. Agree on FOP and 7DMT. Unless you get it on midnight of your 60th day, forget it.I disagree. If you go on a day that's 8/10 or less you can get any FP+ you want 30 days out other than FoP, 7 Dwarfs, or Slinky Dog. Just get those by rope drop or hopping in line just before park close. I've been to Disney 15 times since November, and while I've never once seen those FP+'s available, after the first month where I was still learning the system -- since then I've never been blocked out of a FP+ other than those three.

Don't EVEN try to say a FP for a ride that doesn't even need a FP us really a FP. For Disney, it's not a way to get you on a ride, it's a way to lock you OUT of other rides.

I disagree as well. FP are only for three rides. If you plan well, you can still have a great day even without FPs, especially if you go early before the crowds build. Not to mention all the great shows that don’t require FP.This. Forget about enjoying yourself. Donate the money to your favorite charity and just watch Disney videos on YouTube.

I don't necessarily disagree with this. FPs can absolutely make a trip better. What I disagree with is the idea that you might as well skip Disney if you can't stay on site/DS and get FP at 60 days. Millions of people go every year with FPs at 30 days or less. I know some people are cynical about Disney but to tell a newbie to just give up is pretty extreme.I'm not so sure about this one. You can still be a great "planner" and still show up when the park is 9/10 when it was only supposed to be 4/10. That's the point that Disney is getting to these days. Yeah, everybody knows that you should avoid certain times of the year, but that will only take you so far. We're getting to the point that the safe haven times of the year are still getting crushed. And yes, rope drop periods are getting crushed now. You might get one free ride if you crush rope drop, but by the time you get off, there's a good chance that the park will already be crowded.
Personally, I think that you live and die by the FP+. It guarantees you a minimum of three rides with minimal wait, and if you play it right, you can run it up to 10 or more. Granted, you need to pick a day that's lightly crowded to be able to work this trick. I also think that FP+ inadvertently gives you the most reliable real time crowd saturation expectations. If you look at how many FP+ are left compared to how many days out you are, its beyond obvious how crowded the park will be. Its taking actual data from real people, and you can use that to decide whether to go or not. Unfortunately, this really only works if you're a local, or are comfortable traveling relatively last minute. If this is planned months out, you're a little SOL if the time that you picked happens to be more crowded than expected.

For TOMORROW, i.e. one day in advance on a Saturday during the extremely busy Presidents' Week, there are TWENTY attractions with FP+ availability at the Magic Kingdom, including Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, Haunted Mansion, Jungle Cruise, It's a Small World, Pirates of the Caribbean, Splash Mountain, and many others.

I absolutely think someone going to Disney should learn about the rides, learn about crowds, learn about FP and how it works, etc. But (and maybe this is just me) my trip isn't going to be ruined if I can't get FOP or SDD FPs.
