FP priority for midnight tonight...A/E or Thanksgiving Day?

[luvallprincesses]

Our Elsa/Anna day will be the 10th day of our trip (the end of the week AFTER Thanksgiving), but that makes our 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th days the insane crowds of Thanksgiving and surrounding days.

Do the holiday days pre-empt the normal booking priority of Anna Elsa and 7D since I see on Dibbs (and logically) there is certainly availability for the 8th, 9th, and 10th day? I already can't get 7D for our first MK day on Nov 25. I'm expecting Thanksgiving week is much more slim picking for Soarin', etc. at reasonable times and we are checking in 2 days before Thanksgiving.

Am I right in going forward making selections tonight for the first 4-5 holiday days and then working backwards for EA and 7D?

No answer for you sorry but I will also be up tonight working on this! Hope we both get what we want!

Personally I think you always do e &a and 7dmt first and then do everything else. I can't imagine availability will be THAT bad at 60 days out for anything else

No matter what holiday or number of days out, you'll always want to book A&E and 7DMT first. Along with FoF parade or MSEP if interested

You'll still find a full time range for other rides if booking everything at 60 days. I wouldn't worry about Soarin time slots at all even due to Thanksgiving. The crowds will be bigger in the park, but FP selection at 60 days out won't be affected much

Shows A&E availability for the end of your trip for groups of 4 (this could be at anytime, not necessarily your desired time).

But with using this as a gage, if it was me i would do day 4,5 QUICKLY, no fooling around with times etc, then do A&E and 7DMT, but that's just me, everyone is different.

Also depends what parks on day 4 & 5 and what rides your looking for.

I suggest booking your most desired FP first, at the end of the trip, then work backwards to your first day. You don't want to be left empty handed on your priorities. I find it also builds anticipation for the end of your trip. You may get lucky and get multiple rides for the mine train as well. Good luck!
