Wait a minute......FP+ available without having tickets purchased?

[draybook]

Ok, as most of you know(if you follow my posts), we have the second part of our trip set at All-Star Music. Now, this is a room only booking, as we will have APs after we check-in on the first leg of the trip. Well, we got the little Incredibles package in the mail today and it lists July 21st as the day we can start making FP+ reservations for that part of the trip. So, you mean to tell me that we will be able to book FP+ ressies without having ticket media linked to those days as of right now?

I think they are assuming you'd have your tickets...I don't think there is anyway to book if you don't.

 

[draybook]

Yeah, like I just told my wife, I'm assuming that they open FP+ spots for you if you're staying on-site.

 

[Minthorne]

Did you book an AP discount room? In that case they most likely assume you have an AP.

 

[draybook]

Nope, booked with the Fall discount.

I'm pretty sure if you try to log in on that day and go to FP+, it will tell you that you need valid ticket media linked. The little postcard just tells you the 60 day mark from your check in date.

 

[draybook]

Yeah, that seems to probably be the most likely result.

We are staying at akl sept 16-18, no park tickets as we don't plan on doing parks at that time.. Checked the fastpass + window today (60 days out from sept 16) and we could book fastpasses for the 16,17 and 18...

Hope it works for us as well!

Hope so to!
I was really hoping it would let us book into our second reservation from sept 21-27 when we do have tickets, but no luck I'll have to wait a few more days for that I guess!

Did it actually let you book FP's? FP's are connected to your park tickets so if there aren't any there is nothing to connect them to.

Yup! I was testing it out and it let me book 3 for the magic kingdom on the 18th (the only day and park we tried to enter), and like I said we do not have any tickets linked to that reservation and we rented dvc points. I was able to fully book, edit times and then cancel them as we won't need them!

Fantastic news!

Hope it works for you! Maybe it only opened because it's a dvc reservation?

Just went in to mde and played with it again, it will only let me pick for the magic kingdom.. It says there is a conflict for the other.3 parks on all the days (16,17 and 18th)... So maybe it's some sort of glitch in the system..

 

[draybook]

Well, we'll find out on Monday.

 

[CaptainShortty]

It assumes that you already have purchased and linked park tickets. If you don't, MDX won't allow you to make FP+ reservations.

Do you have party tickets linked? I only have access to FP+ in MK right now because of my Halloween party tickets. My regular park tickets are linked to a package, so I won't have access to the other parks until my 60 day mark.

Party ticket is linked on the September 21...

Yeah, mine is for 9/28, but I've had access to the next 30 days of FP+ at MK only ever since I bought it in May. I doubt it's supposed to do that, but it does
