MSEP FP+ for ALL of October 2015 Suddenly Available

[rpb718]

For every non-MNSSHP day, I know that MSEP FP+ were all taken up a while back for October. Sure a date would open up now and then, but on the Dibb it was always in the listed as "unavailable". However, I noticed yesterday that all the "unavailable" dates because "available" again for ALL non-MNSSHP days in October . I just tested and could now get some for the dates we are down there.

I'm wondering now if they plan to move the FP+ area for MSEP as soon as October, and that the new area can hold more folks.

What doesn't make sense is that the FoF parade mid-day is still showing as mostly "unavailable". Do the MSEP and FoF parade have separate FP+ areas?

Edited to add: September and the dates allowed so far in November are still all "unavailable". Strange that it's just October. I wonder now if it's a glitch.

Glitch or not, I got one! Thanks for the post! I did see on another thread that Disney updated the park hours for October yesterday so maybe that's why. When I searched I was only able to get the second parade and I don't think there was even a second parade listed before.

I didn't realize they may have added a 2nd parade, since I didn't really want a MSEP FP+. I'm glad they did, since I'll probably have a better chance of getting a good spot for the 2nd parade and be able to miss the crazyness of the 1st while waiting for CtM in the Wishes FP area.

The upside is it looks like FP+ for 7DMT are opening up on those days as some folks are now going for the 2nd MSEP FP+. I'm seeing a lot of availability for 7DMT now in October.

That's funny because that's what I did - I dropped our 7DMT to pick up MSEP. We're actually doing Animal Kingdom that day and only heading over to MK for the parade and fireworks (I elected to try no FP at AK in order to have one for Wishes). So now I have a FP for Wishes and the 2nd parade. Don't know if that will work well or not, but we'll see.

We are also doing an AK day on Oct 19th and hopping to MK for the parade and fireworks. I got 3 FP+ for AK but kind of want to drop them and use them at MK for the parade, fireworks and a ride. But it appears I can't check availability at MK unless I cancel my AK FP+ and Im afraid I wont be able to get the AK ones back if there are none left at MK.

Yes, I've been trying to get one for Oct 3 since my 60 day mark. There was only one parade scheduled at 9, but now they added an 11, so I was able to get that instead

 

[Disneyliscious]

So these new FP+ are for the 11pm parade?

It appears that way. Regarding your other post, I think there's a FP checker out there somewhere that shows availability without having to mess with yours FPs. I thought it was a UK site. Maybe someone else could help. This is our first trip having to make FP ahead of time so I'm learning.

Looks like a second MSEP parade has been added during our Oct dates. Also looks like hours for Columbus Day weekend have been extended. MK is now opening at 8 am on Saturday, Oct 10. AK hours have also been extended.

Thanks for posting - I had been unable to get the MSEP FP+ as well but now I scored one!

Wow, I also now see 7DMT available for our MK day - but of course when I logged in to see them, MDE is not working. Ugh.

Other active thread suggests the system is currently down for many.

I have never had a problem findingexcellent viewing for MSEP. I stand facing the Frontierland shooting gallery. No one around.

I've been reading some other posts on the DIS and came across a quote concerning the MSEP FP+ area: "and what an earlier poster said is true...they don't care what time your FP is for, just as long as you have one".

So when they add a later parade and open up more MSEP FP+, doesn't this present a problem of over-filing the MSEP FP+ for the 1st parade if folks with FP+ for the 2nd parade show up for the 1st parade?

I believe they do care which parade the FP is for, just not the time you arrive for it.

Unlikely they will continue to allow (if they ever did) FP for 2nd parade into an overfill viewing area for the 1st parade.

MOST guests will follow the arrival time on their FP, regardless.
