festival of Fantasy FP+

[horse11]

How soon has festval of fantasy parade showing up for people. We are a month away from our trip and it is not listed as a option yet. I was just wondering for people who had booked it as a FP+ how soon did it show up for you guys? Am I going to have to check every day? How did you guys do it?

They've been releasing FP+ towards the end of one month for the next month. I'd check again as May grows closer.

So the end of April for a spot in May? How close to the end of the month should I look?

Nobody knows.

They have been showing up as late as within the last 1-2 days of the month.
I can't imagine that will always be the case, so if getting one of these is important, I'd check every single day, at least a couple of times a day, until they appear.

Yep, checked every day for 53 day's. One week out, it showed up. Pick you 3FP, plan ahead which will be sacrificed for the Parade, but make sure if it isn't available it is still one you will want. Then every day go and try to "Change" that experience and it will show up.

I used similar strategy to get FP for MSELP. It didn't show up until about 2 weeks before the first day of my trip. Then I just went in and changed one of our experiences to the parade.

If you get FP+ for MSEP, do you also need to get one for Wishes? Or can you remain in that spot? If so, is it a good location for Wishes? Thanks.

I noticed it showed up for me when I was about 14 days away.

Good plan thank you! It looks as if I will be looking daily to be sure. We did book our three with the last one the same time the parade FP+ should be so I am hoping to switch it out with parade. If it does not come avaliable then I would just switch the same ride with a different time.

I'm checking every day for our trip for the parade and to see if I can snag A&E as they're already all gone for our trip.

We'll be in MK May 22, 23 and 24th...

Here's a map that shows the FastPass+ reserved locations.

The MSEP FP+ area ceases to be "reserved" after the parade passes.
Regardless, it is too close to the castle, which blocks the view of many of the
major fireworks.

If you choose FP+ for MSEP only, I've included red arrows to show where to MOVE
for viewing Wishes (and Celebrate the Magic) right after the parade passes the parade FP+ reserved area.
