[SweetMimi]

Just made my ticker! May 5th staying offsite

 

[Iowamomof4]

Is it just me, or is AK now open LATER than MK on May 3 and 4? I can't imagine that not changing!

 

[dachsie]

No - I doubled checked with Disney site. Ak closes at 10 and MK closes at 9

 

[BJR401dis]

Do you know what changed in the first few days of May? I'm not seeing anything different, but I'll admit I haven't paid a lot of attention.

5/1 & 5/2 AK open until 9 instead of 8:30

5/3 & 5/4 AK open until 10 instead of 8:30

That’s all so far.

I may be really out of the loop but we have a 1 night stay on 5/16 at WL followed by a 4 night at CBR then 2 nights at BWV. We purposely booked the 1 night so we could get an early start on 5/17. So today my FP window should have opened up but this morning all that was available for me to book FPs for was the 16th and 17th. Is that how it works now? We've always had split stays (even as late as last December) and I've always been able to book the entire length of WDW resort stays. If that is the case then will I have to book our last 2 days separately like I had to today?

Unfortunately it has changed recently so you will have to book again when your next window opens.

We’ll be staying at Saratoga Springs 5/26-6/2! Excited to book fast passes in just a week. The app hasn’t worked for months on my iPhone though, so I’m getting a bit concerned. Anyone else experiencing this?

 

[ksromack]

Unfortunately it has changed recently so you will have to book again when your next window opens.

So this is how it will be for now on with split stays? That stinks if it's true. We have a total of 7 nights so of course some of the harder FPs will be impossible to get with a break down of a 1 night-4 night-2 night stay booked onsite.

I actually called and was on hold forever this morning....all while I watched FPs slip away. Some of the times it would let me get as far as confirming my FP and then I would get an error that I would have to start all over. While on the phone I was transfered to an MDE support team and after a while the nice CM was told she could book my FPs for me. Only 2 of them needed to be rearranged or put off to another park day. I didn't get exactly what I had originally planned but I'm happy with the end result. This does just support my thought that you really need multiple ADRs planned at 180 days so when your FP day comes up you can still re-work your plans.

In that post he says hours for MK have been updated for May 1-4, but I'm not seeing anything that's changed?

 

[robeck]

Fastpass day today. I kept having issues getting times that I wanted mainly because I kept trying to arrange times that overlapped. So I called DSS and in 15 mins had the week all set. It was nice having someone so familiar with the system. Looks like an awesome week taking shape.

Me neither. I think it was actually just Animal Kingdom that changed.

If you read into the comments, KTP says that was a mistake.

LOL that's my comment that he replied to. Glad he cleared it up.

 

[Tall Todd]

Is FastPass+ being absolutely wonky for anyone else? I can't get anything done...

That’s how it was for me on March 5. Keep trying.

Hey, @Daniela Rose , somehow I ended up on your list twice and my dates aren't quite correct (our trip has changed a couple times, so that probably explains it). Anyway, we're officially going 5/11-5/21 and we'll be staying at Pop pretty much the whole time (first night at AoA, but maybe that doesn't matter). Thanks!
