No FPs for 7DMT 60+2 days out!?!

[IceQueen182]

The website was INCREDIBLY glitchy. I had much more luck on MDE. I was only able to get FEA in the evening, but at least I got it. We plan to leave the park for a dinner break and then come back for Illuminations. My FEA FP will at least give us something else to do in the evening.

The day I'm trying to get 7DMT is a party night, so maybe that's it? I was just shocked that I could get FOP but not 7DMT. I was all prepared to be disappointed about FOP, but it was actually easier. Weird.

This has just been a frustrating trip to plan in general. ADRs and now FPs have been hard to get. I'm a bit worried the crowds will be way worse than the crowd predictor calendars are posting. Oh well. It's going to be Christmas at Disney, and my kids are young enough and out of the loop enough that they won't be disappointed missing certain rides. We'll get plenty in to have a good time. I just wish it was easier.

I share your hope! This late-November/early-December trip has been by far the hardest trip I've ever planned. ADRs and FPs have been so hard to come by that I'm also getting nervous the crowds are going to be crazy. Regardless it will be an amazing trip! In the meantime I'm going to be checking for better FP and ADR times obsessively!

Me too! I usually go in the summer and never had any issues getting my first choice of times and restaurants. We will be at MK two days in December, and there are NO table restaurants available either day. And it’s not a glitch - I have checked numerous times. This trip has been very different planning wise. I hope the crowds aren’t unbearable!

Are you going two party days? Again, I really think this is the difference.

Yes because everyone told me attendance is lower on party days. All the crowd calendars plus these boards said those are the days to go!

I think attendance will be lower. I'm going two party days as well. But there are just a lot fewer operating hours for ADR's and FP's. It will be interesting to see if now the "word is out" and party days are no longer low crowds. But so far this year it seems they are still lower crowd days. Fingers crossed.

I booked 2 trips three months apart - December 2017 and the week before Easter 2018. There is no question the Easter week will be more crowded and yet I could literally get any ADR I wanted with no effort, unlike the December trip.

So frustrating, you are right. But it's Disney, and I think you will have a great time.

I could not get it, either. We have 3 MK days planned and I only got it for 1. We'll have to RD it. I check all the time and nothing. I was a bit surprised at the lack of availability for several attractions.

That’s really strange... my window opened up today and I have SDMT on day 1, day 4 and day 9 of my trip. Plenty of times open. I hope you can find what you’re looking for!
