Honestly that is more likely what I would do if I had to! Lol

Ugh back to a 4:30am alarm. I wish it was just midnight. Iām easily up at 11pm.

Alright, @Tall_Paul1. I made a campsite reservation to test things out starting 5/17 going through my length of stay. I tried making a reservation, but it wouldnāt let me look for anything beyond 60 days. Is this because:
- Campsites donāt count for 60+10
- I miscounted and 60 days isnāt until tomorrow?
- I need to wait a few hours for my campsite reservation to register (it is showing in MDE)
- something else Iām not thinking of?!
Thanks!
This is my thinking. Book day-by-day on Day 70, first thing in my normal morning.

I think Iām gonna do the same. My real stay is 12 nights so I cannot grab them all at once even booking then. Iām already seeing tbings not available for before my stay at 70 days out so Iād rather do it day by day but I donāt want to wake up at 430-445am every day for 12 days in a row so Iāll just do em when I do wake up. Fingers crossed.

No idea. That should have worked. Iām guessing it has to be the 3rd bullet point, and random glitchiness with the app/site. Check again today.

Campsites DEFINITELY count for 60+10. They are commonly booked for this purpose.
60 days from today is 5/18 not 5/17

Was that delay related to time zone difference between you an FL?
Iām more confused now because 60 days from today is 5/18.
Help my addled mind undo the confusion.

I tried last night before midnight my time, so it was definitely still the window for 5/17 in all time zones. I just double checked that I was booked starting 5/17. The only explanation that makes sense is that the system just needed some time to process before it allowed me to start booking (even though my reservation was already showing in MDE).
I come bearing a gift! Please let me know if you spot anything wonky or have any suggestions. (Thanks to @Tall_Paul1 for taking it for a test drive!)

Are on-site hotel guests in a different park pass availability pool? I just got my tickets and I had to book park passes for the 3 of us on the leading reservation separately from the 4 who are not. Will this cause any issues at any point?
Yes these are two separate groups. As long as you all have valid park reservations for the same parks, it will not cause any issues.
Edit: Just realized you meant that you will be removing the leading reservation leaving you outside the on-site pool. What will happen is that your reservations will be switched to the āday guestā pool, and if there is no capacity there, you might lose your park reservations for those parks / days. A slight risk but if you are cancelling far enough out, you should be ok?
Yeah, that should be fine. It didnāt even occur to me that the timing would be better if I made sure to get the tickets linked and parks booked first.
I guess I could cancel the ADR and leading reservation, rebook the park tickets, then rebook the leading reservation and the ADR?
I donāt know if itās necessary, but I would. 1 - it would give me peace of mind. 2 - it would give me something Disney related to do!

When I re-book the leading reservation, will it toss those of us on the leading reservation back into the on-site guest pool?

That is a good question and I think it would require a peek into the programming script! 
My hunch is that if you cancel and rebook your reservation on the same day, it will keep you in the resort guest pool the whole time. But if you wait overnight after canceling, I bet it would shift you into the offsite pool, where you would stay. Again, just a hunch.

I cancelled the ADR, the park passes, and then the leading reservation.
Out of curiosity, I tried to rebook the park passes. It is letting me book all 7 of our party at once (including the 3 that were previously on the leading reservation and that it previously made me book separately), so I think that means it put us back in the off-site pool?
So at that point, I wonder if it makes a difference if I rebook the hotel reservation again tonight or wait until tomorrow? I think Iāll just rebook it and see what happens. Itās probably easier to pick up a stray park pass day or two starting from 50 days out than ADRs for 7.
(I think I am really bad at these sorts of hi-jinks! )

Iāve cancelled reservations before and it didnāt remove park passes? I had to manually delete them. I assumed once you have them they are good unless you go back and delete them? Is this not the case?
Edit: I did park passes before I booked the leading reservation for dining but I hadnāt updated my DVC points rental yet and I noticed for some days my park pass is in a different pool than everyone elseās. Like itās listed separately but itās not that way every day.
