From what I was told (Disney Member) even when the ride opens, FP will not be available for several weeks after. They want to be sure that there will be no issues with the ride and do not want to disappoint visitors if they had FP and the ride was inoperable.

I hope that is not the case. According to the Disney Parks Blog:

"It will be available as soon as the opening date is announced."

That looks AMAZING. I sure hope we can get a ride when we are there mid May. Please sprinkle some fairy dust on all of us May visitors! Or maybe we should ask for some Diamond Dust this time!

We will be there late June. I'm counting on 7DMT fully up and running, and VERY long lines. It's exciting going to WDW just as a new attraction is opening.

So it would be less disappointing if people wait in 2-3 hour stand by lines & then the ride goes down?

I wouldn't want to commit a FP for the ride and then find out the ride is not working that entire day.

If FP's are available and the ride goes down while people are waiting in line then everyone would be disappointed. If it opened again later then I guess WDW would allow the earlier FP's to be used. I can see how FP's would be a mess if the reliability of operation is still in question.

When I was there in early March, as long as you did not use the FP, you could change the attraction, even after the time expired.

Good point. This would probably work. There would be some risk as to what FP's are available and for when but that will likely vary depending on the crowd size for the day.

It looks very tame, I'm sure you'll be fine

Not sure anyone else has noticed, but seen news on another site that people have been seen riding in recent days - CM's in hard hats. Soft opening can't be far off now

I thought I was crazy!

So it was on there? The ride was on the app?

It was but you couldn't select a fastpass for it. But today I didn't see it at all...

Just as a heads up, when we were at Disney last weekend we had a fastpass for Peter Pan. Peter Pan ended up being down the whole time and we missed our fast pass for it. When the fast pass expired, we weren't able to pick something new. Our fastpass converted into a fastpass for either Winnie the Pooh, it's a small world, Peter Pan, Dumbo or Barnstormer which was good until closing.

There was no way to switch it out, so apparently it is different when the ride is closed for repair. If I would have known that, I would have switched it out earlier when we still had the option. We had the option up until our ride window was over.

So if you do get a fast pass for Seven Dwarves and it's down, I would switch it out before your ride window is up or plan on only getting a fast pass you can use on rides you don't need a fastpass for.

Thanks for the advice! I guess they thought it'd make sense to give you the option for another attraction in that land. I don't see why they couldn't give you the option of any others on the list that you haven't used yet being that it was not your fault the attraction was down the whole time window.

But, good to know.
