The lack of A&E FP+ is really frustrating. That's all my DD asked for when we discussed booking FP+ for our upcoming trip.
Try splitting up your group and look for overlapping singles. That's how I was able to get mine. Also, keep checking back, you'll be surprised how often you see them pop up as people rearrange their schedules. Good luck!!!

Also, keep your eyes open for changes to park hours, as extended hours will open up additional fast passes....and everyone is on equal ground to try and get them!

There are also A&E cancellation boards you can subscribe to as well. Just search for A&E, cancel, and your month of visit and you should be able to find it.
 

My bad.

I wonder why they get that benefit but the Shades of Green folks don't? :(

I was just wondering about this too.

I think the Swolphin has a "closer" relationship to WDW than does SoG and thus is closer to staying "on-site" than is SoG. In fact, is there any on-site perk that Swolphin guests don't get?

MDE and free parking at the resort, maybe.

I can't figure out how to do this without messing up the other FP we have. If I select the FP I am willing to change to AE it automatically selects all 4 of us. If I select new FP for just DD it says it will replace all 3 FP selections which I don't want to do and I'm afraid of messing up the SDMT we all have at the perfect time! What do I do?

There is no Disney Magical Express option for guests staying at Swan or Dolphin.
 
Okay, so when it comes time for me, if I want Fast Pass for A&E & 7DMT, am I shooting myself in the foot if I try to select both of those in the same set of 3? Will the combination lock me out of one while I try to select the options it shows me?

Once it shows me options to select, if there is an option with both, if I select it to go forward, is it already reserved for me once it's showing me the selection screen or can it still be taken out from under me between my selecting it and clicking "ok"?

You will need to do this on the app, not the website. Select the option to modify and existing FP and choose the attraction you want to change. On the next page you will have the option to select individual members of your party. I always tried it by selecting everyone first. If nothing came up, I'd try one less, then one less, and so on. Once you're able to secure A&E for one or several members of your party, repeat the process for everyone else. Once you have your party split up, you can use the website to keep checking for alternate times, if you need to, but will have to do the original splitting up in the app. Good luck!!

You should be perfectly fine to select both on the same day. But I would advise doing this on your last scheduled MK day to get A&E (7DMT is a bit easier to acute). But if you are lucky enough to have them both come up, select whatever they give you immediately! Easier to tweak times after the fact than change the attraction completely. Because yes, they can "disappear" mid-scheduling if someone else is trying for them at the same time.
 
How early in your window did you try?

I was on the website to book at midnight the day my window opened, and there was nothing, and there's STILL nothing, over 2 weeks later.

I've been checking for just ONE FP+, so at least DD can meet them (she's 17, old enough to do a M&G on her own-yeah, I know, she's a teenager, but A&E is the only FP+ she asked for on this trip), but still no luck. I check several times per day, at various times of the day, but nothing yet. Maybe I'll get lucky at the 30 day window.

Have you subscribed to the cancellation post here? If you are just looking for a single, you should be able to snag one eventually. Similar to the ADR cancellation boards, people will report FP findings on the A&E cancellation board, so I'd follow that as well.
 
Does anybody know if Disney releases any additional FP+ when the 30 day mark hits. I feel sorry for the people at 30 day mark thinking they can get A&E or 7DMT fastpasses.
 
So I just snagged one of the new Frozen Holiday Packages. Does anyone know if I will still need a FP+ for that since it says that you go to guest relations to pick your time? The way it is worded on the website is confusing because it then mentions having a FP+. Also, I had a Fantasmic Dinner Package for that day but I'm guessing I wouldn't have time to see Fantasmic and get over to the Streets of America to check in??

That has been rumored, but I haven't heard anyone confirm it (i.e. that there were all of a sudden a ton of A&Es popping up).

However, openings do pop up all the time. I had to rearrange some of our plans and lucked into a 7DMT for all 4 of us only 2 weeks before our trip. So it is possible....

I agree. I think we'd know by now if they were holding back for the 30 day mark.
 
Hi, hoping that someone can help point me to a fast pass modification for dummies tutorial. I can't figure out how to do what I want to do. Basically want to find the best way to stalk the site or app for A&E fast passes. I logged in at midnight when my 60 day window opened and could not get any A&E fans passes. I was looking for the 6th day of our 8 day trip (nov 6), but no luck. We are a party of 5 so that probably didn't help. Now I would like to split our party so that we can hopefully find 2 fast passes sometime on nov 6th, so my daughter can see A&E.

I read a few posts ago that to split our party I should do that in the app. But when I go in there, and I choose a fastpass to modify, when I select the two people that I want to modify, it only searches for experiences in the same time slot. How can I search for a new experience at any time? What is the best way for me to keep looking?

Thanks!
