Best way to stalk A&E FP+ ressies on MDE?

[hamiltji]

Despite getting on at 12:01am at 60 days there were no A&E passes left for our whole trip (5 days)...

So now I am left to stalk on MDE.

What is the best way to do this?

I.e. use the "select & replace" or the "change" button? Search for only 1 guest, ect?

Just wondering if there are tricks to navigating the seemingly cumbersome, MDE?

Thanks in advance!

Ugh! This stresses me out. My window opens tonight. A&E are the only "must do" on my kids wish list.

Start with your last day and work backwards.

That's what we did. Got on at midnight and went right to Friday and got a 230

I think that is the best advice.

I just did this on Sunday night at midnight. I started with our last day and worked forward. I got one for our last day! None of the others had availability moving backward towards the start of trip.

OP, I think the best way is to "select" new fp for 1 person and try to get 1 person at a time. That way it scans all available times for the day. A word of warning, this may put that one person out of synch with the rest of the group for the other 2 fast passes. If you do it this way, you'll have to rebook all 3 fp of/when you find an A&E. So, for example, if your family is doing 7DMT together, you might lose the ability to do that together. I've been stalking for about 10 days, and last night I was able to secure one fp. Now I have to see if I can get it copied to my daughter. No luck so far...

GA Julie - thank you so much!!! You have given me hope that I too might get FP+ for my daughter after all : )

I got A&E fastpasses but I had to go to our 6th day to find it. If you have a short trip it's going to be tough.

No problem...I figure I'm kinda sorta halfway there!

One more point...once you get one for one of you, the reason you want to try to "copy" it to the other person or people is that apparently then the system will look for close matches, even if there isn't an exact match. So for example, my fastpass is from 8 - 9 pm. It may end up finding one (hopefully) for my dd from 8:30 - 9:30....which would mean we could enter together between 8:30 and 9.

Kenny the Pirate has a good summary here: http://kennythepirate.com/2014/03/1...tpass-reservations-from-my-disney-experience/

Good luck!!!

Keep watching... it changes all the time.

Fastpasses are not like dining reservations, there is not quite as solid of a number to hit. They also trickle out availability. So check on your 30 day mark also. Maybe they release some more for the off site, and annual pass people. Also keep checking plans change for people.

In addition they are (or say they are) trying to enhance capacity. IF they find a few new friends of Anna, they could suddenly open up more fastpasses.

I would like to be sure you notice this, because it seems to be true from my experience. Right around 30 days I noticed that a few random A&E times and a few random 7DMT times just started popping up mid day every day for a week. The only frustrating part was they were all different times. Four days in a row I logged in at the same time and there were 5-6 new times for 7D and 2-3 for A&E, none of which overlapped. Within a couple hours they were gone.
