Surprised to find 7 dwarfs was a harder fp+ to obtain than avatar fop...

Anyone else found this?
 

I wanted 9am on Thursday April 26
None were available for any time in the am

There are 3 in our party.

So that’s the second day of your trip? I’m looking to get it 2nd day of our trip too. Hmmm, may have to shuffle booking priorities. Did you try changing the times once you booked? Often that will give you more options.

Yes it's our 2nd day..
I've just tried playing around with times-sadly to no avail.
 
I vaguely recall someone else having a similar problem. Try again tomorrow or the next day. There should be something available 60 days out.

I think what day of the week you arrive is a big factor as to what will be available on your 60+1 or 60+2, etc. I assume if OP booked her FP today that she is arriving on a Wednesday. I think most people tend to arrive on Sunday or Saturday, so the people arriving earlier in the week OP arrives have already had several days to make their FP reservations. If you are arriving on a Sunday, then there will be a "new week" starting and your 60+1 would be a Monday. So there may be a greater likelihood of more availability for something like 7DMT, I think. Not an exact science, but I don't necessarily think if a person arriving mid-week had less availability for popular FP that the same would hold true for a person arriving on a more traditional arrival day like Saturday or Sunday.
 
I was surprised that Frozen had far more availability than Peter Pan! (I was at 60 last week - choosing for mid April.)
 
I had no trouble getting 7DMT in the morning on day 3 during spring break, so that extra day must make a difference.
 
Yes! I noticed this too. Our FP day was last week and I was so worried we wouldn’t get FOP because AK is our day 1. I got that right as the clock struck 6 (we are CST) and went to book 7 Dwarfs for day 2. I got early afternoon but with only a 20 minute window before our lunch at BOG. I tried several times that day and the next to move it up but to no avail. We’ll make it work, but I was surprised too! Frozen was not a problem for right around the time we wanted on day 3.
 
We have a ppo be our guest reservation on our first MK day;

However dd is a rather slow eater and has not yet been/seen any of new fantasyland
Therefore I very much doubt we'll be out of the castle to benefit from a possible relatively short line.

I did manage to book a 9.25am slot on day 5
 
Our fast pass window opened today. We arrive April 26-May 1st. Party of three.
We got Soarin', 7DMT, FOB, River Journey, Space Mountain, Splash Mountain, Everest, and Big Thunder. All finished before lunch, so we can get more after those.... And I was freaked out because I "over slept" until 7:10... I guess we got super lucky with my day placement/Parks choices. I even had to change times for a few of them, because of breakfast times etc. and logged in a few hours later, without an issue.
 
This was my experience this morning as well. 7DMT was not available in the morning on 60+1 (in fairness I didn’t look to see how FOP looked that early in my trip). FOP was readily available in the morning on 60+6 which is as expected. Both for a party of 5. I also saw some bizzarre Tier 2 availability. For a while ToT was not available before 12:30 for a party of 3 on 60+3 (even modifying) but after about 20 minutes that cleared up and it was available all day.

I was able to get everything I wanted in most cases around the times I wanted. 7DMT is a little later than I’d planned but overall it was a very good morning.

:dancer:
 
Well done guys on your fp results......
I'll keep checking if anything suddenly pops up for us
:rainbow:

I'm just a teeny bit jealous.

:rolleyes1
 
Got FP for mine train this morning for our check in day 60 days from now.
Friends going in March did not get any for mine train, but did get FoP, so I was wondering how it would be for me, I was happy!
