We are staying at Shades of Green , so we can't book fp+ till 30 days out. We are going June 13th-20th . Do we even have a shot at A&E for a family of 5 ?
 
I have never eaten there but I would say the chances are slim and none. However, call. It could be something a cast member could swing. You never know they may hold a table in reserve or have a wait list. Good Luck.

A & E is Anna and Elsa in their meet and greet in Fantasyland. Maybe thinking of the very expensive Victoria and Albert's?
 

I got mine 4 days ago for May 12th. However I kind of lucked out because they were not yet releasing these until last week. So my 30-day window allowed me the same chance as on-siters.
 
I was referring to getting a fast pass for Anna and Elsa :)

Try for a party of one and then copy to the rest of the family. If you are totally blocked out, keep checking everyday and especially when park opens on the day of your visit.
 
You might have a better shot at FP+ for A&E 30 days out if you break up your family into 2 groups within the same time range. That's what we had to do with our family of 5 and managed to snag FP+ for A&E for all of us within the same hour. Our times are 5 mins apart and overlap so we can all show up at the same time. :)
 
I got my fp's about 10 days out. I checked everyday inbetween 10am-noon. I did have to check for 1 person, and then copy it.

We were just there this am. The rope drop was ridiculous. Within 15 min of rope drop, the wait was already over 3 hours. We talked with a family at lunch, and they tried to get there from RD. They were sad b/c this was their only day at the parks and they missed all of the magic of walking in...trying to get there fast enough. Such sweet people though, they had a great attitude about it all...and their kids were great about it too.

All that to say: YES! THERE IS HOPE! Keep checking everyday. :)
 
Totally ridiculous. If we were staying off property I'd book a room only res (at POR for 5), book FP+ at 60 and cancel the res once in the 30 day window. Some may not agree with that, but oh well - FP- was as fair as fair got, and bad rules should never be followed. :p

I hope you manage to get something!
 
Just for kicks I went into MDE to see if there was any availability for A&E at the 30 day mark (which happens to be Memorial Day) and there was. It was a little tricky to book because if I picked that one as one of my priorities, it would give me an error message. However, I picked Cinderella and then went in to change to A&E and it worked fine. I did go cancel my choices BTW. Anyway, there is some hope I suppose.
 
We're going to be there starting May 23rd. I have been staying up until midnight every night trying to get fastpasses for Anna and Elsa. One and two at a time, no luck yet. I try often during the day too, no luck there either. I'm sorry now that I didn't book a throwaway room but never dreamed it would be this bad. It shouldn't be this hard to go on a vacation. I'm a great planner but this is just not fun.

I literally just found one on the 25th at 2:30.

We were there at noon and it was a 4hr wait. Insane.

I just checked to see if I could get 1 FP+ for A&E on May 24 and I could. I didn't because I don't need one, but check again!!
 
We're going as part of a group through Run Disney. No tickets until we arrive, so no FP+ for us until we get there. I'm assuming we have no chance at all unless we run there at rope drop.

But if you're a runner, you'll do better than most at the A/E dash. :)
 
It is possible! I got one for me at 60 days out, but it would not let me copy to the rest of my party. Kept giving me Enchanted Tales as alternative option. I checked daily till yesterday. Yesterday, with the app on my phone, I checked and it let me copy to everyone. I was at 45 days out. Keep trying, you never know when one will pop up. I suggest trying for only 1 or 2 ppl and then copying to the rest. Good Luck!
 
I've been trying for weeks to get one for mid-May. And just trying for me. It just says only stand-by. I'm hoping something opens up.
