Left side as you look at the stage. I got it as a 4th FP last Thursday at about 3:00p for the late show. This show was half-full.

Thanks so much! I always sit on the left side (tradition) so I will definitely have to aim for this one being my 4th FP

How do you keep track of what and where you have your FP+'s scheduled? Do they print you an itinerary when you check in to the hotel?

I printed ours from My Disney Experience. They printed in a decent format.

FYI - I always choose Soarin FP over TT. If your party is old enough to sit separately, the single rider line is worth it for TT. Often we've even stayed together, or at least one car in front of another. "SingingMom" ....Sent from my iPad using DISBoards

We chose Soarin' FP+ over TT for all 3 days we are at Epcot. All of us love Soarin' so much, but the kids really just want to go on TT one time. I'm not allowed to go on TT anymore ever since I had spinal surgery on my neck in 2011. My physical therapist said it will always be a no-no for me, better safe than sorry. Anyway, DH is going to take the boys on TT at rope drop one of our Epcot days, and I will meet them at the next ride...perhaps after I grab a pastry in France first since the bakery there opens at 9am.

Trying to book FP+ tickets for my sister and my own family. We are at WL and they are at OKW in a time share rental. We both have tickets and the tickets are linked to our reservation. I was able to book fast pass plus. My sister's screen shows up as she can't book til 30 days out? I booked through a TA (first time not booking by myself) and she booked through Davids vacation rentals. What accounts for the difference? It is onsite so should she not be entitled to the same benefits. I am doing the booking and dinners for both families and this is the first issue.
Thoughts anyone?http://www.wdwinfo.com/images/smilies/confused24.gif

Is her resort reservation linked?

The extended hours were loaded in MDE on 6/1. They are already going fast but it is still good news and I think takes some pressure off getting them right at midnight on day 60.

here's my dilemma. staying onsite end of september (free dining package). I already have tickets that I would prefer to use for this trip because they have park hopping. The first set of tickets have four days left and I was able to put on my reservation. The second set of tickets has one day but it was bought a long time ago so I would guess that I would have to convert before I can use. So I would be able to make my four days of fast pass selections but will I have problems with the fifth day. i guess what I am asking are the fast passes going fast before the actual date arrives. And would I be able to use two sets of tickets in one reservation.

So, forgive me for not having a great deal of confidence in Disney technology at this point, but with cars being so close together, or people from multiple families being in the ride vehicle like on Space or Splash, does that mean pictures of me could be loaded into other people's MDX accounts? I'm not ok with that, and I could imagine people wouldn't want pictures of their kids being uploaded into others' accounts.

Not sure if anyone mentioned this already but I just did my fp at 60 days out and saw parades and fireworks listed. Any thoughts on these fp? We have little ones and really don't want to stake out a spot too early because they can't be patient that long. Worth it or not?

not exactly sure what you are referring to but if you go on a ride that takes pictures and more than just your family is on it (ie splash Mountain or RRC or tower etc) and those people were to buy their picture at the desk the old fashioned way they would have you and your family in their photo anyway wouldn't they. so their really wouldn't be any difference

In a PP someone asked how you keep all of your FP organized. The last trip I lead, I made everyone a laminated "note card" that said what our plans and appointments were for the day. Included directions back to our resort and ADR information. This year, I have 8 travelers. I will make cards with all ADR info and the FP+ info. 3 X 5 laminated note cards work well if you have the time to fuss with it.

This is the same method we use, and are going to update it with FP as well! It is so much easier than having to check your phone/pulling out a print out for ADRs!

The original post has mine.

LOL my phone goes "dead" easily at home and it's unresponsive by 11AM at WDW...Cards work great when my technology is sleeping!

We're at the world now and they're announcing at every ride photo area that your ride photos will automatically be added to your MDE account. They *say* that the same equipment that takes your photo also *reads* your magic band and then automatically adds the photo to your account. How they keep track of multiple families with multiple accounts they don't say.

What does happen is they practically refuse to let you add ride photos to your MDE account with your card if you're wearing a magic band. They insist you just rely on the technology and check the next day for your photos.

As the FP+ technology has already screwed up multiple times on this trip (too numerous to enumerate here), I've just simply removed the magic band after the ride starts and then used the card at the desk to add the photos. If the cast members don't see the MB they don't argue with you.

I'll believe this works when I see it.

We're testing this out today. Went on Splash Mountain and have Memory Maker. Will check tonight and report back tomorrow.

On another note, ran into a problem that I'm sure others have encountered. My daughter is a CM and we came down to visit her. She was able to move her shifts around to spend time in the parks with us. Problem is that she could not do FP ahead of time like we can. So the were attractions we were able to reserve that were not available the day of. I'm wondering if I had added her to our reservation, if that would have worked. Or would she need real ticket media, not her main gate pass to be recognized by MDE.
