No FP availability for MSEP?

[MrsMoncrief23]

I just booked our fast passes yesterday and got everything that I wanted at the times we wanted including Seven Dwarfs Mine Train 3x and Meet Anna and Elsa. I was surprised to see that there was no availability for Main Street Electrical Parade on any of the four days we'll be at the Magic Kingdom between (Jan 8-16). Is this typical? I had no idea that it was hard to get!

I may be wrong, but I don't think FPs for MSEP are available until you're 30 days out from your trip. If you're at 60 days, you won't see any availability yet.

Can anyone confirm?

It's hard to get because there's a lot fewer available to begin with. Think about it - there's probably at least several thousand FPs available for any given ride due the capacity of the ride over a typical day. But the MSEP viewing area can probably only hold a few hundred, plus the parade usually only runs once a day.

Sorry, but that's not the case.

Nope. It may have been the case early on, but it's been 60 days for a long time.

I've been watching The Dibb for weeks, MSEP has never shown any availability for January at all.
I find it hard to believe they are getting snatched up that far in advance when A&E are available all day long. But, maybe so?

I made my FP at 12:01 at 60 days and Wishes and MSEP said standby only. I don't know if it is done differently for the week before Christmas since we usually go at Thanksgiving, or if they were all already taken by people who who were arriving earlier that week and had been able to make them before me. Last time they were still at 30 days but we had no problem getting MSEP for Thanksgiving weekend.

Something is definitely up. There has been no availability throughout all of January even 75 days out. I realize they are limited, but they'd have to be limited to like 10 per day to NEVER see a momentary availability 75 days out.

OP, did it even give MSEP as an option for FP? Usually it says something like "FP are no longer available for the day." I am wondering if it is even listed as an option to begin with?

We had the same problem, as we have one MK day just for parades and fireworks so wanted to FP them all. Kept checking back, and although it might be coincidence, at the 30 day mark I was able to get them. We are there when the football kids are there this December, so figured there was no availability because some of the families were snagging FPs for the evenings. This may or may not have been the case, but the bottom line is they ultimately shook loose and we were able to get them. I would just check back every so often if I was you.

I noticed the same thing. Everything was available except MSEP.

Yep. Wondering if it's related to the anticipated parade viewing location change?
