No Elsa and Anna fast pass+ for entire trip...

[jiminykrikkit]

Bummer

Crazy how we all have different experiences. My FP+ day was Tuesday, forgot until about 12-1PM central, logged in and I was able to get FPs for A&E for all 5 people in my party (we didn't take them though, not worried about meeting them this year). We're only staying 5 nights.

Keep trying! Hopefully some will open up. Have you played around with changing times & eperiences? Maybe there will be others available there.

I have dreams about this- not being able to get Anna & Elsa fast passes for our early December trip. It makes my stomach hurt. I'm already planning how to do RD for A&E one morning. DD 3 didn't get to meet them at Epcot in February due to 4 hour lines, so this trip it's a must do. If CP had a 7am ADR, I would've grabbed it. I just don't think an 8am ADR is enough time to beat the crowds over there.

I hope you get them- keep trying

I got mine for the second week of September yesterday. Anna and Elsa had all times available every day i'm there when I did it.

 

[peaches0313]

I too was unable to get Anna/ Elsa last night and I was on at midnight... Even trying for one person at a time..

 

[joannamet]

Keep trying! It took me about a week but I got A&E fastpasses only a couple of weeks ago and we leave next week.

Just a note that I had my 60+ FP+ window a few weeks ago and it didn't open at midnight - it opened at 1am, so you might want to try again

Also, you definitely want to start for planning for just 1 person and if you get one try to copy to others or just keep trying individually until you can get times to overlap

I was able to get A&E at 1am for myself and then my daughter (individually) at times that overlapped but originally for my wife they didn't have anything that overlapped ... I then checked basically every 5 minutes for the next 10 days or so and eventually a time did open to switch her so now everyone overlaps (This is for a trip the last week in August)

I have also heard that more things open up closer in -whether it is Disney opening more FP+ 30 days our or just that people change plans closer too ... basically, don't give up hope. Just keep trying and work on one person at a time

Good luck!

OP: keep trying and good luck I don't have young kids but know how frustrating it is not to be able to get something you want. I have tried before to get an ADR at BOG to no success. Hopefully when my time rolls around I can get a BOG fast pass for lunch.

OP - just keep trying! We are doing a last minute trip in two weeks and I managed to get A&E fastpasses just yesterday!! And there were multiple days available! September is much less busy than July, so I'm thinking they just haven't released all the time slots yet. I hope something opens up for you!

I can't tell if the OP tried to book these last night using the website or the app, but I highly recommend using the website for stuff like this. The app stinks for this.

 

[mcconnellfam96]

When I booked for our upcoming 11-day trip at the 60 day mark, I was only able to find availability on the days after the first seven days of the trip. I did find they must have released more as time went on, because I was able to modify my reservation at 30 days out.

AGREED.

Although, even the website seems to be glitchy today. Oh Disney IT Department!

 

[JimmyV]

OMG! This is my worst nightmare come true! I was thinking lower crowds and we would be fine but then also thought they might cut back to one set of friends and reduce the FP availability!

Fingers crossed its just a glitch!

Obviously, if park hours are shorter, then there will be fewer opportunities for FPs. Also, while September is a lower crowd time in general, when it comes to pre-school age children and younger kids, September is a "high" season. People who don't have school calendar issues to wrestle with tend to go to WDW when school is back in session. You get some weird results. You might walk on to Space Mountain and have an hour wait for Dumbo. A&E could be booked solid by pre-schoolers even if the parks seem otherwise empty.

I got mine for the second week of September yesterday. Anna and Elsa had all times available every day i'm there when I did it.

This is encouraging. What time did you sign in to get your FP? At midnight?

Also, I've seem comments of to just keep trying. But unlike ADRs, there is no fee if you are a no show. So why would anyone bother cancelling?

Because if you don't cancel, you can't use that FP+ to prebook something else?

I'm thinking that this supposed lack of availability is really just due to MDE glitches. To anyone shut out, I'd keep trying. I did my FP+s about a week and a half ago and there was plenty of A&E availability.

I did try using the website not the app. It's weird some people were able to get them. The second week of Sept is when we are going too.. Now the website isn't working for me to check again.

I chose FP+ at midnight last night for a friend's family (they are also taking DD 11). I started with their last day for Anna and Elsa. There was one time available. I took it. I then tried to change that time for one party member and was able to get something a little closer to what I wanted (there was exactly one alternate choice available). I tried to copy that to the rest of the party with no luck. I tried to copy it to one other member of the party with no luck. Apparently that time slot had only one FP available, I guess. So I went back to the original time. At least they are all together, but it's not an ideal time at all. They are going to be rushed to get through in time for their BOG ADR.

I checked two other days during their trip and there was nothing available at all.

Well, this isn't what I wanted to hear at all.

 

[AngiTN]

Something else that is causing fewer slots... the parties. They won't issue FP for the hours MK is closed for the party, so from 7:00 on. That removes a lot of FP slots from the inventory. I think some issues with them are from that. Because those of us going in the much busier summer are not having problems getting them. But, we have many more hours to work with.

Going in Sept/Oct are great for lower crowds but that doesn't always mean less waiting since Disney reduces hours and staff and even puts fewer cars on tracks, etc. Sometimes you can wait more even through you have fewer people there with you.

I went on right at midnight to book our fast pass+ for our trip in Sept and couldn't get Elsa & Anna for any of our days...Kind of disappointed.

I booked some for a friends trip the other night. Right when they opened I went to the last full day of their trip (day 7 -Sept 12) and looked for A&E. They started at 1pm. So if your trip is <10 days it wouldnt surprise me at all to not find one.

Im so sorry. Hopefully something will open up for you.

 

[wendyt_ca]

If we aren't able to get one then I may consider cancelling our breakfast reservations one morning we are planning to spend the morning at our resort (GFV) and go over to MK for rope drop and go straight to Anna & Elsa and just grab something to eat in the park lol.
