FEA- FP+

[Sdolores]

Hello, I am about 10 days from my FP+ window opening up and I am getting very concerned about FEA after reading all of the reports on the waits, etc. I am traveling with DW, 2 DD (8yrs, 6yrs) and DMIL. What are the odds that I can get a FP+ for FEA at a decent (pre-dinner) slot. I am traveling 12/6-11 and plan on Epcot of the 7th. If needed I can swap it out for another date (Saturday), but anything else would mess up my dinning plans. Anyone have any luck securing morning/afternoon FEA FP+ recently? thoughts? Advice?

party of 4, if you look right at 60 days (assuming you are staying onsite) you should be OK.

If you have to wait for 30 days, your time options will be limited.

It's a party of 5, but yes we are on site (GF), and we cannot wait.

I was able to get a 5:50pm FP+ for party of 5 on my 2nd day in WDW

I was able to get a 3:40 FP for a party of 5 on my 7th day when booking at 7am 60 days out. And I was even able to play with the timing a little - that wasn't the only option available.

Ok, so it looks like I am in a bit of trouble. post 5pm won't work. I'll just have to keep my fingers crossed!!! Thanks

Yeah, I don't know. I am going Thanksgiving week but 5:50pm was the earliest I could get as Epcot is day 2 of my trip

my FP is for later in the evening as well, however I think i originally scored an earlier one but went back later in the day to edit it to a later time to better fit our schedule. I think if you are looking for FEA later in your trip it's a little easier and more seems to be available. I had far more choices finding a good time on my day 6 epcot passes than when i was looking for day 2 of my epcot passes.

We were able to get FEA all 3 of our Epcot days 60+ days out. Some of the times were limited, but they were earlier. I don't think you will have too much trouble getting the time you want.

Maybe you will have better luck if at first you don't see any early time if you try to overlap some FPs for smaller groups. Get 3 FPs for 1:00 to 2:00 and have 2 FPs for 1:20 to 2:20.. Good Luck. Today in a couple hours is my FP time!!!

I hope you had better luck than me. No FEA at day 60 for us. Not even splitting the party and doing 1 person. Week after Thanksgiving.

Thank you for posting this feed. My 60 day mark is tomorrow and we are also shooting for FEA on our second day. I am so nervous we won't be able to secure it!

I was able to get FEA FP for 4:40-5:40 at 60 days out for the week after Thanksgiving. I was also super flustered while making my FP selections because it was my first time doing it. I definitely looked for FEA first and there were more times after the time I snagged, but 4:40 was the earliest! Good luck!

I'm really hoping we will have luck with FEA when our window opens next week. We are doing Epcot on our first day so that gives me a bit of heartburn. With two toddlers, I don't want to waste and entire day of FP+ on Epcot knowing we won't do much there. At the same time, they have seen the FEA commercial on Disney Junior and keep asking to go. Ugh.....hoping for an evening FP+ and will keep my fingers crossed.

I hope you have better luck than I had. I needed to schedule it on day one of my trip. I logged in at 7:00 am on the dot on the day my 60 day window opened, and I still couldn't get the fast pass.

Me too. Same situation. Epcot on day 1 at 60 days out. No FEA FP.

 

[Themadhatter21]

I had my fast pass selection day this morning and I was able to get FEA for day three of my trip (the day we were hoping for). We were aiming for an afternoon time and there were plenty available. We also have a party of six and had no trouble. Good luck!

18.5 hours until my window opens. I will update upon completion

Final FP selections competed: (5 people)
I was NOT able to get FEA on day 1 of my trip (12/7), so I quickly flipped my Day 1 Epcot day to AK and my day 3 AK day to Epcot. This still did not leave me with an ideal plan for day 3 (see below).
Day 1 (Wed) AK- FP 9:05 Safari, 10:10 Tough to be a Bug, 11:45 Rapids (my girls won't do Dino/EE) Dinner at Liberty Tree, night at MK

Day 2 (Thur) HS- Tower 10:25, Toy Story 11:35 (Brown Derby Lunch at 12:10, I need my Cobb salad) Frozen Sing Along 2:00. MVMCP at night

Day 3 (Friday) Epcot - Rope Drop Soarin, then Test Track, Spaceship Earth 10:30, turtle Talk 11:45 then FEA at 3:30 (Minnie's Seasonal at HS at 5:40, Fantasmic, Star Wars Fireworks. Due to the Rope Drop necessity and the late FEA, I won't be able to take my girls back to rest for a bit.

Day 4 (Sat) - MK - 7D 9:50, BTMRR 10:55 Lunch at CRT 12:05, Splash Mt @ 1:55 (AK @ night if RoL is open) then to Epcot for Fireworks Cruise

Day 5 (Sun) MK BOG 8am QS Ressie, Family Magic Tour 10-12, Tales w. Belle 1:30, Haunted Mansion 2:25, Peter Pan 3:35 DME 5:30 to Depart!

Moving Ressies at this point is difficult, but if anyone has any ideas to make these days better without moving ressies, please i'm all EARS. (haha)
