We're heading down in April, a few weeks after Easter, and staying offsite. What's the latest on FP+ availability for these two for offsite guests? Possible with some stalking? Completely unlikely?
 
About 20 days out I got 7DMT - but it required effort. A&E I didn't get, but I didn't want it.

All the best!
 
I'm heading down tonight and have A&E for tomorrow. We picked it up LAST WEEK and there were times open all day. One week out! :cool1: Never give up!
 
the DIBB site charts, which show searches for parties of 4, has 7DMT completely available at the 30 day mark. Anna/Elsa are not available at all except for the last possible booking day.
 

have no idea what "A&E" is but 7DTR you will have to be very lucky to get one of those.

EDIT: I'm guessing A&E is the Frozen meet and greet and I hear that is always booked.
 
We booked at 30 days out for December. Both 7DMT and A&E were unavailable at 30 days, but for both Disney dumped a bunch of availability in later on and I was able to snag them. Also, always check for cancellations - they do show up.
 
Yesterday I looked for one for this weekend and there is was and even a good time. So never give up.
 
If not at 30, keep checking because we had an inconveniant time for A&E and within two weeks of our trip better times opened up.

Never give up until you are heading home!
 
Depends on how many people. If you are looking for a large group it's highly unlikely. If looking for 1-4 people it's more likely but you'll almost always have to do some stalking/checking back often and it will probably be for times that might not be that convenient for you depending on your touring style.

FWIW we were able to do 7DMT (November) at rope drop two different days with no wait at all, just walk onto the ride. So keep rope drop in mind for that ride if you can't get a FP+ for it. We didn't want A&E so not sure what the rope drop situation there is.
 
Depending on how many people you are booking for, try and split the group into smaller groups (2) or even single if possible and get the same or overlapping windows of time. When I first booked at 30 days I could get 2 for SDMT but they were very late so I passed on them. A & E I could get for 2 also but the times didn't overlap so I passed on those too. We ended up seeing A & E without FP and waited about 45 minutes immediately after the fireworks. The Mine Train will be saved for our next trip since this was just a day trip. Good luck! :-)
 
You have to be diligent and keep checking lots of times and many days.

We're heading down Friday. I just canceled A&E for 4 yesterday, (I know, it's blasphemy :laughing:), and booked A&E for 1 on another day. Since only my 2yo wants to go, I wasn't going to subject everyone else to it.
 
I've been watching the FP+ availability while waiting for mine to open up. At 30 days, there has never been A&E, but there has usually been some availability for 7DMT.

For the last several days, I have had luck getting 7DMT for 30 days from now when checking at around 6 or 7 in the morning. I have been checking for 6 people. Times have varied depending on the day. But it seems afternoon or evening have been good. I don't stalk at midnight or 1, so odds may be better on times if you stay up late to check at that time.

YMMV depending on how busy those days are expected to be. Now is a slow time.

No go for A & E. But I only check when I am getting the mine train FP+.

This is all with NO stalking. Just checking ONCE when I wake up in the morning.
 
We picked up some evenings one with less than two weeks to go until our trip, after they extended hours at the Magic Kingdom. If you can do later, keep watching. They opened the Fastpasses before I saw any announcement of extended hours, but I'm pretty sure that was the reason for the additional FP.
