So, I am staying up late because 3/10 opens my window for booking FP+. We are staying @ Kidani, my reservation and all 4 tickets are linked on MDE.I have a nice little magnet from Disney saying March 10th I can "start making FP+" But when I look at FP calendar, it shows availability to April 8th only (30 day window). And of course guest services is closed for the evening because what person in their right mind would stay up late to plan FP+'s when they have to be up at 6 AM to work. :mad::thedolls::confused:

Did it work out for you?
I found that I couldn't see 60 days ahead until it was actually "the time" to book my FP+ ... which for me was about 12:15am.
Seems to be a quirk of the system, and a quirky system isn't fun, is it?

I was busy clicking every link I could find to try to resolve the issue, at about 12:02 I flipped back to the MDE site and "magically" a whole month opened up. I was so keyed up that it didn't get to sleep until about 2 AM:blush: So, I guess my rant was premature, sorry folks!

I think whenever you have to stay up until midnight to do something, you get to rant. ;) So glad things opened up and you got it done. Did you get everything you wanted?

This whole system is worth a box of Cracker Jack! I remember the good ole days, when planning a trip to Disney was relaxing and fun.
Your attention please, the Walt Disney World Railroad is now boarding for a trip around the Magic Kingdom
Sorry for asking the obvious - but I haven't done WDW since FP+ took effect. So you can do your selections at Midnight EST 60 days out?
This is obviously different than ADR's which are 6AM 180 days out.

That is correct...IF you are staying on-property, 30 days otherwise, although the midnight EDT (now, since Daylight Savings Time has begun for 2015) time might be a little iffy. Just keep refreshing your browser page until they open up.

If you are staying on property 60 days and yes, midnight!

I'm pretty sure ADR's are at midnight via MDE also, so if you want Be Our Guest, better start trying at midnight 180 days out.
