FP+ booking time to change

[Guest]

For those that are saying its a pain, surely you have the same issues with the ADR system also? ADRs are 6am // 11am opening.

I see this as Disney trying to align all their online reservation systems to within a couple of hours of each other.

We all know that the MDE page is glitchy on a good day. How it will cope with increased traffic over the 6am - 7:30am EST slot now? The day that free dining was released, the UK page ran painfully slow and that was just for booking a holiday, not the full funcationality of the MDE pages.

I'm less concerned about the timing of when I need to book my FP + and more worried that the process to do so will be slower than usual due to the masses of CRT/BOG/CM reservation grabbers

Wish I'd seen this thread before 5am this morning Staying off-site so having to book each day separately, much better for me as I work from home but can understand some peoples frustrations x

Oh no my FP+ day is my busiest day at work where I start at 6am and finish at 7pm! I was thinking I was lucky that I'd be up at 5am anyway, but now I'll have to wait until 7pm to see what's left (or risk leaving my OH in charge of it )

Much better for me too as work from home, staying off site so probably wont be able to get any of the ones you really need FP for anyway at 30 days out

According to MDE Ican book FP from June 23rd so is that 12 noon (UK time) on 23 June?

Yes, I really don't understand this desire to book fastpasses at the exact moment that the fastpass window opens up. I can only assume people are really excited and can't wait a couple of hours.

Back when the DIBB had the old Fastpass Availability page, you could see that it made little difference whether you got up at 5am or, say, 8am. Pretty much the same attractions would be available (or not).

Mine is excitement haha I like getting it done early . But I'm glad of the lie in this year!

I booked my fastpasses tonight about 6.30pm. We are onsite so it was our 60day mark today. I got everything I wanted.

[jojj]

argh , this is not great for me, my fast pass day is 19th June, which is fathers day. I had planned to get up at 5am, get them all booked and then will probably go out for the day!

typical, any other day 12pm would have been much easier for me as I work from home!
