My 60-day window for booking FP+ begins Friday! So I'm reading that people are logging on at midnight. I know I should know this, but what time zone is the system on?

Eastern. So, I signed on at 11pm my time (central) and was able to book them!

Yay! I'm central time too, so this helps! Thanks!

I have two girls who are very much looking forward to A&E being part of their trip as well. I will be up at midnight next Friday to hopefully snag the fastpasses! We have 3 MK days so whatever we can get will work just fine. Good luck!

I was thinking of staying up to get A&E!



That's what I was thinking too. We were looking at our 7th day for A&E.

Good luck to the both of you also!! We have MK the 2nd, 6th and 7th days of our trip so fingers crossed (hoping for the 6th because that's DD's BBB day and she plans on wearing her Elsa dress so if I can get FPP later that day, that's only one day I have to deal with having the dress in the park since she's already talking about wearing it if she can meet Elsa)

I was up at midnight and was able to get Anna and Elsa for every day we were going to be in MK including our first day.

Does anyone think we'll need to do midnight for the 7DMT? We don't need A&E, but I'm wondering if it will be difficult to get 7DMT if I wait until the morning of our booking day? Anyone tried it yet?

I just went in to add some more possible FastPasses for an MK day and it looks like A&E and Mine Train are still available...?

I'm going to do it along with A&E, just for peace of mind.....Actually, knowing how I am, I'll probably end up just doing our whole trip then. Lol!

 

[SRUAlmn]

Thank you both! I don't really want to risk waiting, so I'll probably do midnight. I think all of us are in the same boat that we're the planners for our families, so this is all riding on US! Ha! Not that anyone is going to be 'mad' if I don't manage to book something, but I'd like to have it all figured out and not have to keep checking for availability later. It just makes more work for ME! Haha!

 

[ddluvsdisney]

I don't think you have to much to worry about w booking FP+. Except for maybe A&E ... Didn't do that( have grown boys lol), and 7DMT being the new ride. Everything else should be easy
We were there last week and booked FP+ the day before and got everything.

I think what I will do is book 7DMT at midnight just for the peace of mind. I know myself, and if I don't...well I'm sure I wouldn't sleep well that night with it on my mind, wondering if it will still be available in the morning. Might as well book it and then go right to bed. Then I will book everything else in the morning.

But who knows with me...I could change my mind 10,000 times between now and may 21st.

Since we'll be staying offsite this July trip, we can only book our FP+ 30 days out, we're not interested in A&E but I was wondering if anyone has had any trouble getting some good rides when they have to wait until the 30 day mark?

No. I posted that on our trip last week I scheduled FP+ the day before. We are also offsite AP holders and never had a problem.

To those of you who are braving the crowds on the 3rd and/or 4th of July, what are your plans? What parks are you going to? Rope Drop to close or a break in between or what?

Our dated are July 5-12 and I made our FP+ at 60days on Tues. I did not need A & E but I wanted 7DMR. I didn't stay up to do it. I got up at 5am before work and made them. I had no problems. I got 7DMR for the 2 days we are at MK. Also got everything else that I wanted at the times that I wanted. I did 6 days in about 20min. It was easy. Now I just have to wait to leave!!

I week from today is my fast pass day! Which means 1 week from today I will be dragging here at the office after staying up so late on Tuesday!
Although I had good practice last night. It had to be close to midnight when I fell asleep then we had crazy thunderstorms right around 4:30 am when DH got home from work so he saw I woke up and started talking to me. I finally dozed back off and my alarm went off at 5:45.

I'm hoping for A & E the a.m. of 7/18 since DD has BBB at 8:50 and is wearing her Elsa dress. Fingers crossed...

Too Hot in Florida in July!!! First year in three years we won't be coming to the world in July. HOWEVER, 7/20 - 7/24 we're going to DLR. Still hot but not as hot

This is good to know! I was planning on staying up until midnight for 7DMT but as usual I'm indecisive. I have a little under two weeks to decide. I do not need A &E either. Hmm...what to do...
