What FP+ do I need to get right at 60 days?

[Violet Parr]

I know Anna and Elsa and SDMT, but are there any others? For our parents-only trip in December, I booked a week before and I was able to get just about everything but those two things and fireworks seating, but this trip is for the whole family.

What about Toy Story Mania? Fireworks viewing area? Parade viewing areas? Are there any others that are gone immediately at 60 days?

Also, what time do I need to book these? My 60 day window starts March 2nd, so I need to book them at Midnight or 1 am?

Thanks for the help! It's been over a year since our last family trip, and I feel a little out of the loop in regards to FP+ booking.

Thanks!

Wishes and Illuminations go quickly. TSMM isn't as bad.

 

[Violet Parr]

Hmm, we've never had bad seating for Illuminations. Wonder if I should skip that one...

Your FP+ window should open at midnight as MK closes at 10 pm that evening. Along with Anna and Elsa and 7DMT, at the 60 day mark, if you want them, I would snag Wishes and FOF parade, TSMM, Test Track and/or Soarin' (depending on which one you want to do and how many days you will be in EP). Though some of the rides may still be available after the 60 day mark, your choice of times will be extremely limited as you get closer to your travel date.

I would not give up a Soarin' or TT FP+ for an Illuminations FP+. The Illuminations FP+ viewing area isn't that great anyway.

Depending on how busy it will be, possibly fireworks and parades if desired. (I have had some luck at 30, but I think that correlates to how busy or not busy the park will be.)

I have had no issue finding anything else at 30 days. So far...

I have no opinion on whether FP for those additional items are necessary.

I've been able to get SDMT, TT, Soarin' & TSMM at 30 days (or less). Have never tried for parades or fireworks.

I would. It's so easy to find good viewing for the nighttime shows, I really feel like it's a waste if a FP+ to get them.

Thanks, everyone. This is all good info. We are booked on-site, but we are sort of very lightly considering staying offsite because we have accumulated massive amounts of Marriott and Hyatt points. If we switch and have to make all of our FP+ reservations at 30 days out, I just want to make sure we get to ride our favorites. We are not doing many dining ADRs this trip, so we aren't really fussy about what time of day our FP+ are. We are also rope droppers and expect to get a good deal of stuff done in the first few hours of park time. I'm fairly certain we will end up staying onsite anyway because I'm running Everest but it is good to know we should be okay for the main stuff.

7DMT TSMM Soarin' would be good ones to try and get depending on how you tour.

Good luck!

Does the 60 days start from your first day, or does it go by day? (ex: 60 days from June 28 is April 30th- could I book all my days on April 30?)

Yes. This is also covered in the green link in my signature.
