Are your tickets in the system? Can you practice booking for a day you will not actually be there? I guess if you booked a package this is not an option. However I was able to practice before our actual days opened up and I found it helpful. Just make sure you delete them all before tonight.

Will you have anyone else helping you? We had four adults so each person had a day they were focusing on.

In your case I would start wth the A&E MK day. Try to get A&E at the time you want and move the others around later. It sometimes makes more sense to book at a time you do not want to give you more options around the time you do want. You can not have any overlap so it will limit the options it shows you to things outside your other FP times. I hope that makes sense.

It makes you book all three. Once you book do not delete unless you are prepared to loss them all. You can adjust to another attraction/time.

I split our group up for A&E to increase our chances. We needed two spots at a minimum. In the end we ended up with two FP at one time and three at another for the day. I tried to change the time for the group of three to be similar to the group of two at various times but was unsuccessful. So we ended up changing that group to something else and DD just went in with DH while the rest of us did something else.

I was planning on working alone but H came home earlier and agreed to help. We do have tickets linked but not as a package so we just did a practice run together. I gave him the days that don't require any modifications, which means he's in charge of A&E, although he's cooler under pressure and probably better off. The practice run also showed me that I can only modify Test Track for another Tier 1 attraction, so I'm glad I figured that out now before I got caught up tonight trying to switch me and DD2 to a Tier 2 attraction.

How did you split up your group? In messing around with Test Track it didn't seem like we could book it separately, unless we wanted to book separate FP for all three attractions. Would I have to book me and the girls for A&E and our other two FP, then book H separately and hope he can get overlapping times? Would 3 vs. 4 make that much difference? I really don't want to split up the girls for A&E.

Since the Dibb is showing availability for four I would probably go ahead and try for four.

I do not remember exactly how I did the Test Track split. I may have just did them all the same and then split the test track group up.

There was at least one where we just ended up trying to get times to overlap because we had different groups for some rides but not others.

Yes! We got everything at the times we wanted. Thanks so much for the help!

This should put an end to my Disney questions ... at least for this trip. lol.
