FP + silly question????

[pamkat1820]

we are just under our 60 day window. Me, like the insane planner I am stayed up until 12:00am to make our selections. The funny thing is I was able to choose SDMT or AE for any day I wanted. We actually booked SDMT for 2differnt days with out any problems. Which was great and I was really worried about getting a chance to FP it at all. The one pass I could not get was a pass for ANY of the parades? I was on at exactly 12 and all of the days at MK they said it was unavailable. Did anyone run into this problem. If I wanted Wishes I could have grabbed that one but not a afternoon or night parade? Just curious if someone had the same issue. I was looking for Monday august 17th. We r traveling August 17-26...

Thanks DIS friends !

They don't always release the parade FP+ with the rest of them at 60 days. Also with the hub construction, they may not know exactly what FP areas they have available yet.

The Dibb site is showing availability for both on the 17th. Sometimes there are issues with party size, but they are showing availability for almost all of July which should indicate a lot of FPs still out there.

They now require registration for some parts of the site.

I forgot about the construction!!!! See that is why I love the dis! I'm going to keep checking ... I plan the parade for our first night there on all our trips because I know we are heading to MK late. I like to FP it because there is plenty of room, and u don't have to worry about ppl stepping in front on the kids lol. I was actually considering the afternoon parade this year. 3 trips I have never see it.... I know crazy right!

Slight thread drift. But what is the source of information that this site uses? How do they tap into real time data?

It's just a guess, but they probably have a program that pings the Disney site periodically for all attractions to check availability. I did see they are using a group of four as their standard.
