February MSEP/Wishes FP+ Watch

[taterheads]

Don't worry -- I've had great experiences with Disney IT, so I hope they can fix everything for you just the way you want it. Just the long wait time on phone is a PITA, though. Good luck! If you get Tember, tell him he rocks! He fixed my FP+s for my Jan trip and was a magical CM.

Thanks for the good cheer! I called and got a super sweet gal. She got me everything I wanted. It shows up under FP+ when you act like you want to make a change. My FP+ under reservations and My plans is still wrong but she said it'd iron out. I printed a hard copy of the correct ones under FP+ system so hopefully that'll be good enough if things don't smooth out and our bands don't give us the green light. Hopefully, their system just needs some catch up time and it'll all look right in the morning. Maybe this will lead others in the right direction if they have the same issues. 8 days and a sleep and I'll be at my happy place! Hopefully with a working MSEP FP+

Yay for everyone getting their FP+! I'm excited to have booked my Feb 2 MSEP!

The wait is killing me. I want Feb 3, and it still isn't available!

I was just able to book MSEP for Friday Feb 7th.

Try resetting the TIME of one of your current FP+ choices to the start-time of the event you want to book.

Where is the Wishes FP area? Also is it true that if you book MSEP and Wishes FP you get an extra ("fourth") FP?

1- Where is the Wishes FP area?

2- Also is it true that if you book MSEP and Wishes FP you get an extra ("fourth") FP?

1- Rose garden, in the Hub. (Plum colored area on the map below.)

2- Nope.

The only possible "extra" FP+ at MK is the possibility of booking a FP+
to eat lunch at the Be Our Guest restaurant.

To get a 9pm MSEP to show up, should I have my "placeholder FP" in the 9-10pm slot or more like 8:30-9:30? If the parade starts at 9:00, won't I have to get there at about 8:45? Thanks; can't believe this is so cumbersome!

They're available today! FINALLY@!

My guess is, more like 8:30-9:30.

Snagged MSEP for Feb 3rd. Yay! I also grabbed wishes but I think we will leave after MSEP as we have a busy day the next day.

The following night we are doing the TT Dessert Party so won't be able to see MSEP well and will not need a FP for wishes.

Is the Wishes spot a good view of the light show on the front of the castle? I have no idea where the rose garden is?

It's fine. (Not the "best," but fine.)
It is way "off-center" so the fireworks will not be positioned behind the castle, but you can see them all.

The Rose Garden is in the hub, positioned between the bridge to Fantasyland and the bridge to Tomorrowland.

I'm debating what to do. We have several days at MK and I have FP for MSEP and Wishes our last night there. Seems like the wishes FP may not be worth it? Can you stay at the viewing location for MSEP afterwards and just wait for wishes to start? Any recommendations would be appreciated!

See the green link in my signature for my opinion on "worth".

You will want to step back, 100 feet or so, from the castle after MSEP to watch Wishes, as the castle would block much of the view.

I would choose one or the other and use your other two FP+ reservations for something else.

At the moment I am going with FP+ for a 7pm MSEP because I think I read it already puts you in a good spot for the parade, the Celebrate the Magic castle show, and then Wishes. I hope that's the right choice.

Thanks! Got MSEP for Friday Feb 7th! I changed the time of current FP+ to 7. Then when I went in to change the experience the Parade showed up!!! I have read it's better to get Parade and walk back to view wishes. Not sure how hard it is to walk back during that time. Does anyone know?

Difficulty can vary.
You will be able to do the move if you time it right and are determined
(and careful.)

Does anyone have link to the map I saw where to go stand for wishes after MSEP? Thanks!

Until that appears, all you need to know is this: backup up 100 feet or so from the castle (south) after MSEP passes by.
