What time can I book FP+ for FEA?

[westie55]

Midnight or 7am? I see that FP+ will become available May 21 for Frozen Ever After.

Daily at 7AM EASTERN TIME is the new time that FP+ booking opens.

So, that's:
6:00AM CENTRAL
5:00AM MOUNTAIN
4:00AM PACIFIC
and, only those who live in Hawaii can figure out their time.

Aren't these two different questions?

Yes, the 60-day and 30-day windows open at 7am Eastern going forward but if I'm booking FEA for the end of June (and I'm onsite), technically my 60-day window opened weeks ago. So why wouldn't I be able to book FEA at the stroke of midnight on 5/21? It's not as if FP+ reservations are being blacked out from midnight Eastern to 7am Eastern, right?

This is an excellent question! We are going the week of July 4th and have already made our Fastpass selections, but naturally I want to try for FEA instead. I'm a night owl and will check, but not hold out much hope. I don't relish the idea of getting up pre 7am on a Saturday!

Because they might not have them loaded into the system at the stroke of midnight. They also might not have them loaded in at 7am Eastern. It could be the middle of the afternoon for all we know (that's what happened with Mine Train and many of the nighttime FP+ at Animal Kingdom). It could be the middle of the day today, for that matter. There are often times that the Disney Parks Blog says something will go on sale or be available on "X" date and it is actually on sale/available before then.

Give it a try.

Let us know if you have any luck at midnight tonight!

I'm less than 30 days out for all of it and it's a little nerve-wracking trying to figure out how to rearrange it all for the old soarin', jungle book, and the remote possibility of a soft opening for FEA while I'm there plus fp for A & E at MK. wish they would have staggered rolling it out for those less than 30 days out. We are June 10- 18.

 

[ALA3Princesses]

Sadly, no luck at midnight. Looks like this night owl is going to be tired tomorrow with a 6:50 wake up. Oh, the things we do for the love of our children!

 

[Ladcassidy]

I just checked too -- no joy. The Soarin' FP+ came on line mid afternoon last week, so I will check at 7:00 tomorrow morning, and then be prepared to check repeatedly until they show up.

 

[jklmrm]

Yeah looks like no one told Disney that occasionally people from the West Coast visit too.

I hope they are on at 7! We have softball pictures, dance recital, cheer clinic and a birthday party tomorrow!
Otherwise, please post when you see them come up as I won't have a chance to check too often.
It's going to be a challenge to do our 4 main priorities in our 1 Epcot day: FEA, A&E, Soarin' & Joy & Sadness
I'm trading that Soarin' FP for FEA, because I'd rather wait in line inside for Soarin' and truly think it will not be as bad as FEA
I keep reminding myself that these are truly 1st world problems.

 

[Ladcassidy]

Good luck! I'm likely trading my Soarin' for FEA, too. (And tomorrow is our dance recital day, too, so I feel your pain).

 

[sfbank]

We have DDs high school graduation party tomorrow and 9 others to visit. Graduation Sunday I am right here with you guys!!

Soarin not up yet

 

[AtlantaDisneyDreamer]

Just checked at 7 am- nothing available yet.

 

[ALA3Princesses]

Frozen Ever After says standby only. Really?!

No that just means it hasn't opened up yet. That's what Soarin looked like the day they said it was going to open for fastpasses too. At some point it will switch over but now we just have to keep checking.... so annoying...

 

[junebug21981]

I also checked an NO FEA yet.......waiting all day I suppose.

Thanks for the insight! I was disappointed too when I looked this morning. Will keep checking and fingers crossed!
