No FP for Anna & Elsa or Seven Dwarfs

[Donald Fan 2005]

I can't get these during our upcoming trip in Dec. staying off property so had to wait 30 days out to book FP. Will any open up? What's best way/strategy to see them without FP? Thx!

Just keep checking, things open up all the time. We booked 30 days out and have found lots of SDMT FP+'s since then. A&E has been a lot harder, I have seen singles but not 2 together.

Are you doing MVMCP any night on your vacation? We saw A&E with a 20 minute wait during the party. Otherwise, heading to one of the two at rope drop would be your best bet.

Another recommendation for just keep trying. We were late booking a Dec trip and a dining reservation I wanted was full. Tried a few times each day and suddenly after a few weeks a reservation opened. The same can happen for FP+. Also, you may want to try for different numbers of people. If it's just 1 or 2 children that really want to see A&E you may try for a group of 2 or 3. I know you'd probably all want to be there but at least this might allow the child + 1 adult to see them.

Hope you find what you're looking for!

Just to pad my post count, let me repeat everyone else's advice... keep trying...lol

Daily, multiple times a day. It might open up for a few minutes, then someone takes it. It happens. I got 7DMT the same day, while I was standing in line waiting for another ride. Just mindlessly poking away at the app, and after about 10-15 minutes of that, it popped up... i grabbed it. It was for a few minutes later! Total luck, but things like that happen all the time. Also stand by lines for A&E are down considerably vs last year. Still long/busy but the days of 3 and 4 hour lines for A&E are about gone.

Keep in mind that the A&E line closes a half hour before the rest of the park closes. Early this summer, we found a 10 minute actual wait at A&E just before 11:30 pm even though the posted wait was 90 minutes. We still had enough time to ride 7D twice before the park closed at midnight. The posted wait there was 65 mins.

We thought this was a pretty efficient use of a half hour.

We could not get any Fastpasses for 7DMT for our visit on November 1st (off-site and only 30 day advance window).

I checked multiple times a day everyday for a month on the app for 1 person and by the week of our trip I had found 4 overlapping FP+ times for 7DMT. It happens! My advice is 1) check using the APP not the website, it is so much better; 2) always search for 1 person at a time so you see everything that's available

ETA: What made this even harder was we were trying to get a FP for MNSSHP so we could only use Fastpasses between 3:00 and 4:30 (we did not want to cancel our 4:30 or 5:30 fastpasses). Even with that limitation we found a 3:10, 3:15, 3:25 & 3:25 with a few days to spare. No guarantees but it happens!

Yes we are going to MVMCP and have this pegged as one of the times to best see A&E and 7DMT. Fingers are crossed!!

How did catching 7DMT work for you during the Christmas party? We'll be trying the same thing next year.
