Mine Train FP+ - 30 days out worth getting up at 4am? Help please :)

[icecreamforbreakfast]

We are staying off site so 30 days out is our FP+ date. I've been looking when I get up in the morning and the earliest FP I've seen is around 4pm. If I get up at 4am (live on the west coast), will there be earlier options available. Maybe someone who could see FP 60 days out could look and see potential availability for me? We are looking at Aug 28th & 31st.

Thanks in advance!

If access to FL opens at 12 midnight, would that not be 9pm on the west coast? (I was actually in San Fran when our 60 day FP window opened which was 9pm PST).

FP+ Window is 7am EST.

This is the availability for SDMT on 8/28 according to Touring Plans.

and 8/31


So it doesn't look like there is anything before 4 right now.

Take any time it is a very popular ride and you risk losing that time window, better be safe that wait 90+minutes in lane, NO ride is worth tha much waiting.

I would add that unless you have small children, or someone who is a die-hard Snow White fan, you could probably skip going on the 7DMT. It's super cute, and very short, but as a ride experience goes there are much better experiences in MK.

When we booked them for our family(large family needed 8 fast passes), I didn't get up at 12, it was 12am then. I made them first thing when I got up. I was able to get everyone a chance to ride, but not all at the same time. Using the copy function worked for me to get a fast pass for 1 person and then copy that to another. I was able to get enough overlapping FP for 1 person, but not a whole same time slot for my whole family.

Thanks everyone for the replies

I am not very savvy and posted in the wrong forum and then couldn't find my post over the last couple days .... ooops!

This helps a lot! It looks like unless I want to tie up any chance of getting more fast passes until the early evening I won't bother getting out of bed.

Thanks again

FP+ Window is 7am EST.

Well that's a bummer - the last two trips (11/2015 and 1/2016) it had been MN which worked well for us west coasters. I'm starting to think about our 10/2016 FPs and thought it was still MN EST. thanks for the update but am bummed about the 4 am wakeup time (again - did it twice last week for FW events) later this month!
