You have to use all three FP's before you can book a 4th.

Also ADR's are Advance Dining Reservations

I don't have 3 FP+ for D.H.S...Only 2..So therefore I take it after my 2nd FP. I then can make another...

If you have only 2 FP+ picked you can't get another FP+ until you have chosen AND used your original 3 FP+. You also can not get another FP+ for the same attraction or ride until you've used your original 3 FP+. For example, if you only have 2 FP+ right now and one of them is TSM, you must pick one other FP+ and use all 3 of those first. After you've used your first
3 FP+ then you can try to get another FP+ for TSM. You can only get another FP+ for TSM if they still have some available
for that day.

Cheers for that...I'll need to make a extra FP+ for DHS on 4 occasions as we only picked two in this park.. awesome

Hi all! We are at day 63, finishing our plans for FP+. Our final payment is not due until mid-Sept (45 days prior to trip). Are we still able to make FP+ at day 60 even though we have not made final payment?

I also just thought of something else. I dropped our 10-day tickets because we plan to purchase annual passes in October, a few weeks prior to our Fort Wilderness stay (11/3-14). I spoke with a CM yesterday to make that change and she said it wouldn't change our FP+ 60 day window. I know I shouldn't be nervous about getting FP, I can't ride the dizzying roller coaster rides anyway. Thanks!

You can make FP+ choices at 60 days out regardless of payment status. You just have to have your trip paid off by 45 days prior. However I am not sure about your second question.. I know that you can't make FP+ choices until you have tickets linked to your account, so I would think that you wouldn't be able to make any selections until you purchase your APs. But if the CM said you could do it I may be wrong. You might want to double check with another CM or maybe someone else on here if they have experience with this..

You could also leave your 10-day tickets on your booking and just "upgrade" to an annual pass at guest services when you get here in October. We did that and they gave us a credit for our 8-day park hopper passes and everything was transferred over to the annual pass. That way, we kept all our FP+ we had booked at the 60 day mark.

Thanks JanJ and EmFord for the replies. I knew as soon as I questioned myself about the ticket change that I should double check. Called today and was told that I needed park tickets linked to our visit in order to get FP+ process started. Getting the 10 day tickets added back on raised the Fort Wilderness cost by $100+, but the CM escalated the issue to a supervisor. Once I emailed them the original confirmation they were able to reset our bill to the original amount.

We will keep the 10 day tickets on the account until we get to Orlando in October. I was told that if we change the tickets to annual passes to do so in person or we will likely lose our FP's if we change the tickets online. Thanks again!

If you change to AP online you could still make FP+ selections but only at the 30 day mark. I think you're making the smart choice to keep the tickets as is and upgrade when you get to WDW. It is very quick and easy to upgrade at any of the windows at any park and you get to make FP+ selections at 60 days instead of 30.

Thank you AnnielovesDisney for the advice and confirmation. We're really looking forward to the annual passes, although I have pretty high expectations right now for how many days I could visit. I like to think I could hang out there every day.

I don't want to hijack this thread, but is there a section here on this forum about AP holders? Thanks!
