Last night at midnight was our 60 day window. Log in at midnight to get Anna/Elsa for my 2 year old and you think I can get anything for my entire week stay!!! NO NOTHING!!! Its September supposed to be slower im logged in at midnight I mean what else can I do. Same thing happened at 180 days for BOG. Both things we want we have not gotten and I check religiously every day. Just frustrated and venting that's all. I just don't know what else I could have done to improve my chances.
 
Check for later on in the week. I made my FP+ reservations for the week of September 19th - 27th this morning and saw FP+ reservations for Anna and Elsa available the later part of the week. I could not get a FP+ reservation for the mine train for a time that fit in with our existing plans early in the week - only for the last weekend.

Everyone who starts their vacation the week before our week picked up all of the choice FP+ reservations for early in the week already. Just how the system works.
 
yeah something is up with that i am going the last week of august and when i did my 60 day the only booked day was the first day all others had time.....man it did not update yet
 
Keep checking religiously for the next few weeks. I believe it is 45 days out that full payment must be made. Some will cancel as a result.
 

Forget about it and do the other million things there is to
do at WDW.

I had the same problem. We did book the Frozen show at Hollywood Studios so at least she can see them from a distance
 
I tried every day several times a day to finally be able to get FP+ last year for Anna and Elsa

I'm sorry. One thing I did for A&E was only make the FP+ for one person (me) and brought the toddlers while my DH and older DS did something else. I don't know if I would have had a hard time getting the FP+ for 3 people (we went in June), but getting it for one was not hard at 60 days near the end of our trip.
 
I have found I had better luck with a&e closer to my trip, I got none at 60 days out kept checking daily and got it about 3 weeks before i went.
 
It shows you how much busier it gets just a couple weeks later. I'll be there the 9th-19th and had my choice of dates for A&E as well as BOG. Looks like you'll be there just 2 weeks later. Its the start of F&W drawing in the extra crowds.

Plus MNSSHP are starting, cutting MK hours and A&E availability. OP - keep trying. I see lots of people claiming success at getting those FP+s eventually by being persistent. Good luck!
 
The smaller the number the better...we booked five two persons for A&E...all within 15 minutes of each other...and our group of ten was in....so if four people, try two and two.
 
Thank u everyone. I'm just going to keep trying and if not I guess were going at RD.
 
The only trick I know of is when the 60 day window opens, immediately check the last day of your vacation first and then move backward from there. I'm sorry you weren't able to your FP, I would be totally frustrated too.

It must be the time of year because we had no problem getting our pick for mine train and Anna and Elsa at 60 days in both July and August.
