We got the email that it's time to pick your FP today
The thing is, I didn't get it till 11:00 AM, Eastern time. I know on past trips this is about when I have gotten them, it wasn't early in the morning for sure.
I was up and ready and waiting to pick ours at 6:55. Had I waited till the email came, all the FoP FP would have been gone. They were very slim pickings as it was. Earliest I could get during our trip was 4th day, in the evening.
I'm guessing that most visitors aren't going to know what time to pick FP, or even what day, without that email. We all know that only a small percentage plan their trips at all, and even smaller percentage to the degree those here do but at least the email lets them know they can do something.
So got me to wondering, is several hours later when they usually go out for everyone?
I'm sure it's all automated. Couldn't they put the time stamp to be the same, or similar, time as when the window opens?
I suppose it could be a way to keep the system from being overloaded with too many users all at once. Maybe they send out the emails in batches?
Have you noticed the time you have received the email?
