Tomorrow is day 61 for me. So usually I think I can book it at 9 pacific time. But the park closes at midnight and has extra magic hours tomorrow until 2. So can I book it at 11? Thanks for the help this is my first time doing this.

Shouldn't matter when the park closes...midnight eastern standard time should work.

The park schedule is irrelevant.

You will be able to make your FP+ reservations after midnight Eastern time. So, yes, for those of us on the West Coast, the window opens at 9pm.

I remember some conversations from the very early days of FP+, that the parks had to be "closed" for the new FP day to appear online. Quite often, people would complain that their window didn't open until 1 or 2am EST.

However, if that was the case, it doesn't seem to be anymore. I was able to book our FP+ at 12am, when the MK was still open. So, enjoy being able to book at a much more normal hour ... lucky west coast folks!

The flip side of this is that for ADRs, it's 3am for us. ;)
