Chances of getting FEA FP+?

[mcgill93]

Hello! We are going to Disney from 11/30 to 12/8, but the dates we are at EPCOT are 11/30, 12/4 & 12/5. I know my chances of getting a FP+ on 11/30 is nil but what are my chances at getting one for either of the other two dates? Any strategies or suggestions? Thanks so much for any help you can give!

Why are your chances nil on 11/30?

^^^I was wondering the same thing. Are you staying on property? If so, do FPs at your 60 day mark and you should be able to get FEA at least somewhere in your trip. If you are staying off-site and can only do FPs at the 30 day mark you might have more trouble. If so, just keep looking to see if anything opens up. We are going in a week and I needed to add one in our party to SDMT at MK but nothing was available. I kept looking and finally a FP slot opened up just the other day.

We are also going in Aug and I was able to schedule FEA at the 60-day mark with no problems. There are still plenty of times available for our Epcot day, they are just more in the afternoon/evening instead of the morning.

I was thinking my chances are nil the 30th because it is the first day of our trip and others will have already had the 180+ days ahead of me for their trips. I wasn't sure if days 6 & 7 of my trip were far enough in for the FEA fastpasses to not be all gone. We are staying onsite, so I will be able to do the Fastpasses at the 60 day mark. I am assuming that FEA will be the most sought-after FP at the time I am there. Thank you!

the 180 day mark is only for dining ressies. And because you are staying onsite you will have a good chance of getting the FEA FP at the time you want. Just remember your 60 day mark and FYI FP+ now opens for booking at 7am EST where it used to be 12am.

Yes, what nenglim said. It is 60+ length of stay. I got FP for out party of 4 on Monday for the 4th day of our trip which as you mention can be day 10 of someone else's trip. Even going back in now I can change the time of the 4 FPs to many other choices on that day. Just book the FEA one's first at 7 a.m. when your window opens and you should be good. It is always smart to have a rough outline written down with priorities and order of FP you'd like so that you could either be really efficient with booking or do FEA at Epcot, and for your 2nd booking go right to 7DMT at MK, etc.

Yep I agree, a prioritized game plan is the way to go

I just made one for fun 30 days out and got a great time (1:35 pm). Unless it's because not a lot of people know it's opening, I'd say your chances of getting a FP are pretty high

I just got a FP+ for FEA at 45 days out and there was a ton of times to pick from. How large is your party?
