How Likely Am I To Get the FastPasses I Want?

[BamaBrad]

Generally speaking, if you started reserving FastPasses at the 60-day window, were you able to get the times you wanted, or were you scrambling for backup plans?

How long is your trip?

ETA... Yes, you'll get what you want. I think the only thing hard to get at 60 days is FoP. You need 60+4.

Right now, it seems the only thing you can't get at even 30 days is FoP and 7DMT.

I usually modify the heck out of mine, so I just grab the times I think we want when it's time to book.

As for FoP you probably won't get the time you really want.

6 days in the park

I agree that FoP should be the only difficult one.
I actually only did FoP and 7DMT on my first FP day. I filled in the rest over the next few days with no problem. Many times to choose from.

As long as your AK is day 5 or 6, you should be fine. I don't know about 7DMT at 60 days... if there's limited times on day one or if you need to go out later. I just know I've been looking for my friend using my AP, and I haven't seen it at 30 days

Disclaimer: The first time I booked FoP we did get the time we wanted, but I wanted it at night on our 6th day in the parks.

Not sure when you're going, OP, but that might make a difference, as well.

We are going February 4-9 and i was able to get everything we wanted. Party of 12. FOP on February 6th. It was later in the day (5:15 to 6:15 pm), but we still got it.

March 22-27 are our park days. The last couple of days will be really crowded. Hoping we can do most of the popular stuff before the larger crowds arrive.

I booked mine this morning. Booked the last day of our trip first for FOP, no problem. Then booked the first day/arrival day and got FOP, no problem. Arrival day was in the afternoon. Seemed to have lots of choices around 3pm and then nothing until 7:30. The last day of our 7 day trip was wide open for choices.

Are you 60 days out or 30?

Our last park day is the 24th of March. I didn’t have a problem getting FOP on that day.

60 days. My day to start booking was today. We arrive on the 18th.

Thank you! Have a great trip!

 

[ChristineOH]

I arrive Monday, March 26. I hope I can get FoP on Thursday, March 29, because we leave Friday, March 30. Many spring breakers will be checking in the weekend before me, so I hope that they haven't booked up all the FoP by the time I can start booking. Hope I'm lucky like you.

There's no way to know exactly how crowded the park will be...don't rely on "crowd calendars".

We stay offsite, so we can only do 30 days. To add to it, we're AP holders, so we can only book 7 days worth...when we take a 10+ day trip, that means often we can only book 7 days in advance. FoP is still a very hard get, and Christmas/New Years week is very, very busy. But every other time, and every ride other than FoP, we can get it same day.

You should be fine.

 

[CAS239]

I usually get everything I want booking 30 days out.

You book 60 days out you have free range of 99% of everything.

There's another thread today about suddenly more FP showed up available for FOP from Feb 9-16 so you never know...

 

[Micca]

If you just gotta have FOP, book that one whenever you can and build the rest of your trip around it. I wouldn't do that, but FOP isn't the priority for me that it is for others.

LOL I'm not even going to Animal Kingdom--my in-laws are--and they know nothing about Avatar or FoP.

Our 60 day mark was yesterday I got everything I wanted, including FoP(at 60 +2) at the times I wanted. I signed in to do it right at 7:00 a.m. eastern time. I actually tried to do it a few minutes before that in case they did the rollover to the next day a little early. Don't wait until they send you an email later in the day to let you know it's open for you.
