FP+ for FEA before 10am?

[Klayfish]

I'm curious, has anyone ever gotten a FP+ for FEA before 10am or so?

We're here now and were in Epcot on Saturday morning. We got there around 9:15am. Our first FP+ window didn't close until 10:30am, and it was for TT. I pulled up MDE and it said FEA was a 30 minute wait, so did the Lines app, and it said realistic wait time reported at 27 minutes. So we decided to go for it. We go there and waited exactly 22 minutes. One thing we noticed was that nobody...I mean NOBODY...came through the FP+ line the entire time. Only exception was one family, who was being escorted by a CM, so I assume that wasn't a normal FP+. We experienced the same thing last summer, got there early and saw no FP+ people come through.

Do they not give them out early in the day? Could it be strategically done to allow standby a chance to get on?

FP+ for Frozen doesn't start until 11am.

That's what I was guessing. Thanks for confirming. So it really isn't all that hard to get on it during the first few hours of the morning. The line moves quick.

As PP said, they don't start them till 11:00 and I do think it's for this reason, to have a shorter stand by line until WS opens
