Need FP+ Help! 60 day window tomorrow

[jvalic33]

I get a sense that this is not getting fixed too quickly....I wonder if it's just some of us or all? Could the system just be overloaded? I wonder if this is indicative of how busy it's going to be the week we're going?

FoP is a really great ride!

That's my worry, as well. TouringPlans has this has a pretty "middle of the road" week, but we've been going down in October for the last few years, and it's been more and more crowded every year. And Touring Plans has been estimating very low for those trip (for example, there was one day last October where they predicted a 6, and it ended up being a 9 or 10 on their crowd calendar).

The biggest evidence is in Southwest airfares. Every other weekend to and from Indianapolis is affordable, but when we go down and come back, the prices are 2-3 times the other weekends.

ARGH. It was back up for minute, and I nabbed 2 FP, but now I'm back to Olaf.

 

[Noco]

It loaded for me but when I selected the fp it went down

 

[jvalic33]

Same here...have been going down October for the last few years and it's definitely getting more crowded. So much so, I think we are going to skip the MNSSHP because it's just waay too crowded! Who wants to wait for one hour to not even really see a parade! It was terrible last year. My 1 1/2 y/o fell asleep during the first parade because she was behind a wall of adults that wouldn't even let us through! But fastpass makes it manageable...WHEN IT WORKS! Ugh!

 

[jvalic33]

Came back up for me but I tried to change the time and now down again so I got nothing!

 

[Noco]

I just got FOP for myself one day but DH and DS can't do that one, so now I feel kinda bad that I got one for myself but not my family

 

[Gothemi]

I gotta say, this is my first experience with FP+ and it's garbage thus far.

 

[lubob]

Just spoke with cm nothing they can do just keep checking back to see if it is up and running again. They are not giving you any thing for this problem either. I was on hold for 41 min

 

[Meriweather]

It's horrible....and so frustrating
Over the last 55 minutes, I got 3. I have a mixed group, so I have to do a lot of them.

 

[Gothemi]

Has anybody gotten anything besides Olaf in the last 10 minutes? Seems like they may have completely taken the FP system offline now as I can't advance beyond selected "Get Fastpass" now like I could earlier.

same. i was getting somethings loaded before but nothing now. maybe they are finally fixing

My FoP (which I made about 7:15 when the system was temporarily alive) finally came up on my list! Whew!

You got lucky. I had one, waiting to confirm, the system went down. When I finally got back in, it was gone.
At least I've gotten to ride it several times in the past and it is that good.
Hopefully something becomes available.

 

[hauntedcity]

Whew! Made it to work, and the system seems about 90% functional now. I was able to get the rides I wanted (if not the times).

 

[jvalic33]

Well it finally came back up. Not exactly the plans I prepared for, but I did get most of my fast passes, just unfortunately not on the days I was hoping or at the times I was hoping for.

 

[Meriweather]

Took 3 hours, but finished.

When did Character Spot in Epcot become tier one??
So, didn't get that.

got the rest....FoP x2, N'avi, and Slinky Dog

Now I need a nap

 

[GADisneyDad14]

When did Character Spot in Epcot become tier one??

Couple of months ago, just FYI. So pretty new.

 

[Meriweather]

I knew it wasn't last time I took a child.
Too bad, she will just have to meet the characters other places

We've noticed the same thing that it seems to be getting busier in October. We usually go mid month.
Touring plans has it at a 3 for WDw overall most of the week and the heaviest park is a 6. I hope they are correct, but that hasn't been our experience the last few years. Kenny the Pirate lists it similarly.
Today, I don't know if there were that many people online to get FPs or if their system just can't handle traffic very well. If it was online traffic, I'd hate to see how it handles booking over major holidays.
