Because Disney IT and glitch are synonyms.

But how does it make it more fair? If anything, now we're on an uneven playing field. We're going to MK on a party day, leaving at 7 PM and I begrudge those party goers nothing. They are there at 4 PM, same as me. Why shouldn't they make FP reservations to be on a level playing field? And when I'm entering at 4 on party night, I'm in the park, same as they are.
You're right, though, we'll have to see how this plays out when the first parties happen. I'll be curious if they will be able to make FP once in the party. (And if so, will that effect their FP reservations later in the trip? I suspect not.)
Ok, so who still has yet to cancel their MNSSHP FP+ *and* has FOP on their last day? Am I the only crazy one left?
And if we saying that the MNSSHP ticket does not allow FP reservations, why would it allow FP use at 4:00 that day?
We have dinner ADRs at 5:00 at Skippers and we are driving in that day, so it may not be so bad to just cancel the FPs, go to dinner and not do FP rides.
My family is going as Moana characters. I'm so excited about it. I am going to be Tamato. I have a purple shirt and shorts. I am planning on making a crab shell that would slip on like a backpack. I wondered if that would be really annoying if we were going to be riding rides. I think I would need to take it off for some rides. An alternative is I could try to add gold fabric on the back of my shirt for a more Disney bounding look than making a shell. Any thoughts?

I'm not canceling until after the first few parties have happened and we have a better understanding as to what may happen! I'm in MK my last day and have a 7D that I would like to keep but if I lost it it wouldn't be the worst thing that happened!
Since I will be waiting until my trip gets closer to buy my party tickets, I was wondering what happens if there is no time for them to be mailed? Do they automatically get added to MDE or do I have to use the numbers on a confirmation email and type then in myself? Do I need to bring the printed tickets to get our wristbands or can they just scan our MBs?
Thanks and sorry if this was answered somewhere else on this thread. I just thought of this, literally, right before going to bed! Oh, and what does Disney bounding mean?
Thanks!

Finally went ahead and bought our tickets yesterday! We are spending a week in Florida, but only doing MNSSHP at Disney and a day at Universal - spending the rest of the time at the beach. It's going to be strange being down there and not spending time at all of the parks, but a friend and I are planning a surprise joint trip with our kids in January (the girls are going to FREAK OUT - if you hear screaming around January 1st off in the distance it's probably our girls when they learn they are going to Disney together lol).
I'm excited because since we are only going to the party, I splurged and rented a Grand Floridian Studio for us that night. I would never be able to afford to stay there on a usual trip. I'm also excited because I recently finished our costumes DD is going as Mulan (in the blue dress from the end of the movie) and I'm going as Mushu. I'd upload pictures, but photobucket isn't working for that purpose anymore so I'm not sure how to upload them here. If anyone is using something else let me know and I'll put up the pics
I was logged in, and it gave me the option to assign them to my MDE family, and they were instantly linked.Since I will be waiting until my trip gets closer to buy my party tickets, I was wondering what happens if there is no time for them to be mailed?

This is also me. I'm going to a September party, so I have a little time for a few actual party reports before I make a decision whether to cancel mine. I also have a 7DMT FP on my last day, which I would rather not lose but I'm ok with risking it for now. Everything is still there this morning. I am periodically checking though.I'm not canceling until after the first few parties have happened and we have a better understanding as to what may happen!

That sounds like a good decision. Yes, I think if mine was FOP I would also not risk it. Especially since your plans seem to maybe not be able to use the FPs anyways on party day.I caved in! My FOP for the last day was still there this morning, but I realized it was the first thing I checked when I got up, which is not something I wanted to do daily for the next month. So, I have deleted the MNSSHP day FPs from our first day. Since we're driving that day, it's very possible we would not be at the MK gates by 3:45 and we have a dinner ADR at 5:00, so we didn't really have a lot of time to do the rides anyway. Would have been fun to ride BTMRR, but we will plan to do it during the party.
Now I can finally re-focus on our costumes instead of babysitting my FOP FP.
You could try to book FPs the morning of the party and see if you have the luck to get one BTMRR FP before your ADR.I caved in!

And if we saying that the MNSSHP ticket does not allow FP reservations, why would it allow FP use at 4:00 that day?
Basically it sounds like you should NOT book FPP for your party day. You should only book FPP for the number of days for which you have regular park admission. For example, my family has 1 party ticket and 3 days of park tickets. I currently have 4 days of FPP booked, but the issue seems to be that the last day's FPP will be deleted by the system because the system is seeing that as a 4th day for which I do not have tickets for, and is seeing my first day - a party day - as having FPP booked using day 1 of 3 regular park admissions.
I may be wrong here, but I was at MVMCP last November and there were no FP lines even open during party hours. Once the clock struck the beginning of the party (don't remember what time it was), FP were unavailable. I remember saying, let's get a FP for
7DMT and it wouldn't even come up as an option on MDE.
You are remembering correctly; there are no FP DURING the party. What's being discussed here is FP for the 3 hrs before the party (4:00-7:00) that has been allowed in the past.
