Anna and Elsa fastpass......did I really miss it?

[Mlgurney]

Today is my day to do my fastpass selections. We are staying on site, so we have 60 days until our trip. I got up at 2 am (3 am disney time) and did our selections and didn't even have an option for Anna And Elsa. Did they go that fast or do I need to do something else to find them? Will they be in any of the parades or at the not so scary Halloween party? Please help! This was our number 1 thing to do/see!

You will see them in the 3:00 parade and they may be apart of the MK opening show (they were in June). Keep checking several times a day for the FP, something may pop up. That's how we snagged one.

How do I check to see what's available? Do I have to cancel one of my fast passes to have one available?

I got on right when it opened up last night- 12:00 a.m. WDW Florida time, and it was near impossible to get A&E for any day of our trip, so getting on 3 hours late I'm sure they were gone by then.

I have heard that more often pop up as the trip gets closer, especially at around 30 days out when it opens up for offsite guests (meaning they probably hold some back). Just keep trying multiple times a day and hopefully you will be able to pull some before your trip. Otherwise, if A&E are that important, you need to get to the park about an hour before it opens to make the morning A&E run and you can still see them.

Yep! I logged on on at 12:01am on my 60day window and could only get one for our departure day (7 days out) in the afternoon! Luckily it works for us because we have a late departure flight, but they were likely gone by 2am.

I was only able to get one in the afternoon on departure day too!

However, the day we went in JUNE the standby line was down to 40 minutes! The novelty may be wearing off.

I am sure they will be appearing at the party, but I wouldn't bank on the line being any shorter. I have seen 2 and 3 hour lines for characters at the party (Jack and Sally last year were particularly nasty). Waste of money in my opinion but hey.

There is a A&E FP+ cancellation thread in the Theme Park section. People post the dates and times they are planning to cancel so fellow Dissers can get them.

You don't have to kick yourself for waiting until 2am. Many are reporting them being gone already by the time they are able to start their selection. People with longer trips have an advantage.

The FP+ for A&E seem to have gotten a lot more scarce lately. I didn't have any trouble for our August trip. They weren't greyed out for many of the days of our trip when I went to select, even early in the trip. I got my desired day for 9-10am.

mlgurney- are you by chance going to be at MK on Sunday October 12? I have 3 A&E FP+ for 11:20 a.m. to 12:20 p.m. on that day. After stalking the website repeatedly all day every day, I was able to get my DD's time switched to overlap with ours on our preferred day, so I will be releasing the October 12 ones. If that will help you, we can try to coordinate times so you are at your computer trying to pick them up when I cancel them. I have seen on the A&E FP+ cancellation thread that has actually worked for some people.

I will wait a day or two to see if I hear back from you and if not, I will probably post on the cancellation thread.

You can PM me, or if you don't have enough posts yet to do that, just post on this thread.
