Just wondering how the offsite people have been doing with getting all their desired FP+ reservations. We are going end of April and staying offsite and I am mostly concerned about getting 7DMT.
It is really hit or miss. I am an AP holder and sometimes I've lucked up and been able to mook 7DMT two weeks out but it really just depends on what day you are going. The end of April is probably a good time. Just be sure to check the different days you are going to be there as you may have to swap around which day you visit what park a little.
If you log on right when the 30-day window opens, as long as your party size isn't enormous, you shouldn't have a problem getting the times you want. The one exception to that might be the Anna & Elsa M&G.
I just did our 30 FP+ and the only attractions that didn't have availability were Anna and Elsa and Wishes. I did try at the 28 day mark to switch a MK FP to SDMT and it wasn't available any longer so book that right away.
Lucky for me my 10 year old boy doesn't care about Frozen. I made pre park opening ADRs at BOG each of the 2 days we will be at MK so I didn't FP SDMT. This may have been a huge mistake because I keep reading that Disney may change the park hours making my ADR useless.
If you get to the MK before rope drop and go straight to A&E or SDMT you shouldn't have to wait too long.
We went at Christmas this year with AP and a group of 7 and the only FP+ we couldn't get 30 days out was SDMT for our whole group although we did get one for just the 4 of us before the rest of our party arrived pre-Christmas...we were able to get everything we wanted and even move things around while in the parks and for the most part it worked just fine even during a really really busy time at Disney.
I logged on right at 30 days and was able to get everything (including 7dmt) except A&E. Instead I booked a pre openin ADR at BOG - going to head right to A&E before rope drop crew hits.
