Thanks CKelly14, I will keep an eye on the site. I'm so excited to be taking my grandkids for the first time. This throw away room gives me so much to work with
Yes, Dan. All 5 days!With this reservation, am I able to do 5 days fastpasses? It is 4 nights of room reservations. Can't believe how much I am not up to speed on fastpasses.
Check In: Wednesday, August 16, 2017
Check Out: Sunday, August 20, 2017
Thanks hiro.Yes, Dan. All 5 days!
I am considering reserving, paying for and keeping a throwaway reservation just to help our chances of getting the FP's we want. We were only going to go to a theme park one day (our 4th day of our current reservation), and only have a 1 day MYW ticket linked to MDE. So, considering that you can schedule FP's starting 60 + 10 days out (if I understand that correctly), should I book this throwaway room 7 days before our current reservation? Will it let me book our one and only day of FP's 70 days out? Or does the throwaway reservation need to be contiguous (booking a room for the entire week prior to current arrival)? I'm not sure I am explaining this clearly, so bare with me. Thank you.
I should have mentioned that we are already staying onsite, so I was just wanting to book a throw away room earlier just to get a better selection of FP's. Do I book the room a week ahead of time for one night, or does it have to be a continuous stay (every day the week leading up to our current reservation)?
Apparently, the whole basis of a throwaway room that the room can be cancelled after getting FP's but before any penalty for cancellation would incur. It is my understanding the OPers never check in - please correct me if I am wrong...What is a "valid" check in? (or a "non-valid" check in?)

Ahh. So they keep the room. I thought they cancelled it and still got to keep the FP's. I stand corrected. Still don't know how I feel about it. Like I said in my original post - I've worked savings at WDW as much as anyone. I'm a kids meal girl lol. So tell me how this works...you book a room and get FP's. Do people pay for a phantom room for their whole stay offsite? If so, are you are paying for what is basically the same as at Universal a "front of the line" pass which goes for I think approximately $80 pp so booking a room or campsite makes sense if you are a big party. I guess I'm just not getting it. Not judging and I love my FP's (I was one of the beta testers) but other then a campsite I dont' think it would be worth it just for FP's. My Disney babies have always been able to hang until the Parks close and we always do the late EMH's (we are not morning people so the idea "rope drop" is appalling) and we have always just walked on the rides late at night. I think FP's are wonderful for folks with kids who can schedule their ride time around nap time. Thanks for clearing up the details of a phantom room. Still a little confused but not judging.This thread is for people who book and pay for a room or campsite for one night for the benefit of magic bands, 60 day fast passes, extra magic hours, and free parking at the parks on the check in and check out day. Many people don't physically go to the room or campsite because you can do online check in which negates the need to be physically present at the resort if you aren't going to be sleeping there that night.

Yes. A valid onsite room reservation opens the 60-day booking window.Does this work with AP's? I can book 30 days out but would like to book 60.
