Fastpass Plus

[drtlc1990]

I am exactly 60 days out so I wanted to select my fastpasses and all of the popular rides have a note saying fastpass distribution has ended for selected day. I don't get how that's possible. Any thoughts?

It starts at midnight EST. So if you were trying for 7DMT several hours after your window opened, then yah, it could be gone. It also depends what days you will be there. It could be a really busy time of year.

That makes no sense to me. Only anna and Elsa and seven drawfs usually run out.

Our window just opened and we didn't get A&E, but we did get the mine train.

People...don't be amateurs..You need to have a multiday trip and at your 60 day mark on the exact minute the clock strikes twelve est go directly to your last day and get 7dmt and A&E. That is your only hope. Do Not check your first day, it is already dead to you, go to the last day first. While you are checking your first day someone else is stealing your A&E FP for your last day. A better way is to tack extra days on the front of your reservation to broaden your entire FP window, then you might really have a shot. Again go directly to the last day!

Really excellent tip! This is my first time experiencing the FP+. I always get the dining locations I want but was so stressed about the FP+. I will use your tips!!!!!

Today is my 60 day mark as well. FP selections start at midnight. I was on at exactly 12 and there were already no A&E avaliable. We got 7DMT but when I went back to see if I could modify our time, there was only one avaliable time slot left. So, it is possible. Just keep checking. Some people say they have had luck in checking back.

Just as with ADRs, there are other people whose windows have been open for a while - it's not like they open one day at a time (could you imagine the chaos???).

That said, I've had two very good visits WITHOUT getting FP+ in advance (was on CM comps, so there was no way to link them) and been able to do everything I wanted. Granted, it didn't include A&E. Yes, I might have had to wait in line a little, but I'm not line-phobic like so many are now.

I went on at midnight on my 60 day mark and SDMT was gone for the first day but I got it twice during the rest of our trip.

One thing makes me nervous, it said the MK parade was closed for refurbishment during my visit, I haven't heard that ANYWHERE, so I have to do some research on that one! That would be a big bummer!

Don't they add the parade FP's at a later date than the rest of the attractions? At least that is how it used to be.

Why am I so nervous do my FP's? I wasn't until recently when so many people were asking so many questions and their nervousness rubbed off of me. I really hope I can get what we need. Keep hearing that nothing is available, then someone else will say everything was available.

My 60 day started and I was able to select the parade for my second to last day. I was on at midnight and got A&E for our last day along with 7DMT for the last 2 days.

Nothing on the books about a parade refurb. In all likelyhood, there are no FP+ reservations left for the parade for the day you're looking.

Parade and fireworks FP+ reservations are now released at 60 days out, just like all the others.

My 60 day mark was last night too. I did see that message but I believe it was on a MVM night, so no night parade that day.


I have to say I thought the whole process was super easy. I was able to copy my SIL's FPs for mine for some days and while Nov 9th was pretty booked at MK (no TMRR!) SDMT was available for several days and even A&E on the 6/7 days. (I didn't take it, more for the rest of you!)

I am surprised by the lack of rides, I would think the week you are talking about (between Jersey week and Thanksgiving) would be lower crowds.

I am guessing that most rides are still available, except A&E and 7DMT (and maybe a few others).

 

[PEC]

I see 7DMT and A&E, which are both at MK. What about the other Park headliners? TSMM, Soarin and TT. Are they normally available 60 days out?

Most of the week is low, but that weekend Nov 8-9 is pretty busy with F&W ending and the Half marathon weekend.
When I made my FP+ choices I was surprise Nov 9th had several things booked up, but later in the week everything was wide open.

 

[Pkltm]

We had no troubles, we got SDMT and A&E.

I'm traveling in moderate-crowd October (Columbus Day week) and had no trouble getting the ones you listed for a group of 12 all at once when I was online at 2pm on my 60 day mark. I had to get 7 dwarves on one of the later days of my trip to get a time I liked (could have had it earlier in the trip but fewer choices of times). Also got things like Safari, Space Mtn, Splash, Big Thunder, Enchanted Tales without trouble. Have adjusted times for several (not touching 7dwarves) on day 45, 38, 35 and still had lots of availability.

Thanks. Also you did this with a group of 12. I am planning a vacation with a group of 11 so you appeared to answer a later question that I was going to ask and that is with a large group should I divide up. I still worry about A&E but I think if I can split the group in 2, it is only a must for about 4 to 6 people.

It is odd that the park with by far the most headline FP options has the 2 that are the hardest to book far in advance.
