tips or tricks for snagging elusive 7DMT FP??

[Babs1975]

Does anyone have any tips, tricks, ideas or suggestions for snagging a 7DMT FP now that my 60 day FP window has come and gone? There was absolutely nothing on my MK day, even splitting our party and checking for 1 person. I'm finding this FP system really restricting now that I have booked 3 other things at MK for the day. It seems really difficult to check for a 7dmt. I feel like if fps for 7DMT did come up, I wouldn't even be able to see them. Fp+ was a newer thing 2 years ago when we were last at the World, but it was set up a bit differently and you could see ALL availability on rides you were trying to secure, even if you had other fps during that same time. Is anyone else struggling with this with 7DMT or anything else you are trying to get? What to do???

The standard protocol is rope drop, waiting until the end of the night, or maybe going during a party time.

However, I would not worry too much about it. I am in a similar boat where I could not get a 7DMT fast pass at my 60 day mark (at 7am!) but despite my initial disappointment, it is not too bad if you look at the big picture.

7DMT, Space Mountain, Splash Mountain, Peter Pan, BTMR, and maybe Enchanted Tales all are priorities. So you would need to stand in a standby line for some of the top rides. You still save time on three rides no matter what. Sure 7DMT is usually longer, but the Mountains and Peter Pan routinely hit 45-60 min wait times anyways. Even if 7DMT is a 70 min wait time you still save time on the other rides. 7DMT from what I read has a good standby interactive line.

My fuzzy math: say 7DMT is a 70 min wait and instead of 7DMT I picked Space Mountain with say a 45 min wait around the same time. Factoring in maybe a 5-10 min wait for the fastpass line in an ideal setting, I am only "losing" 15 mins (70 minus 10 minus 45) by not getting 7DMT.


For what it is worth, I plan on going rope drop on my MK day but if it is too long, elect to do all the walk on rides while everyone is in line for 7DMT and then suck it up and wait for 7DMT later. I am blessed with fast passes for Space Mountain, Splash Mountain, and Peter Pan so overall I feel that I am still being efficient with my time.

Hope this helps and enjoy your trip! I know I will mine, no matter what when I get to ride 7DMT. It is my first trip and I need to keep reminding myself while my fast passes and dining reservations are not "ideal" at least for disboard standards, I am still going to have a magical time.

I just snagged one 10 days before our trip. You just never know when one will pop up!
