You should have played the Lottery that day too...Ours were easy to get for the exact time we wanted (2:35 PM). But we did get them at exactly 7am on our 60th day out!
I'm wondering if they released more FPs for the middle to end of March. We really had trouble getting FPs for day 63 for the first weekend in March. We just barely got it at 7 am.I just made FP selections yesterday for our trip that starts on 3/28. I was able to get a FP for 4 people for FOP on 3/29. The FP is later in the day (around 4:00 pm), no earlier times available. I was kind of shocked to get it, considering that we are there heading into Easter weekend. I was on MDE at exactly 7am ET.
3 separate days you were able to get 3 each? At 50 Days? No way...Only 50 days prior to the first day of this trip, I was able to score 3 fop passes for each of 3 days of my trip and all early in the day.
Yeah, I have not been able to obtain a single FP for FoP on 2 separate trips so far over the last year. I am always on at 7a the day my window opens. Some of these folks are extremely lucky, or full of it...I'm wondering if they released more FPs for the middle to end of March.

There is a whole thread about people getting FPs for FOP for March and many people have been able to get them so I don't think they are full of it lol. That's just why I've been wondering if they released more FPs because they anticipate it being busier.Yeah, I have not been able to obtain a single FP for FoP on 2 separate trips so far over the last year.

That may be the case then which makes me happy for my upcoming trip. I did not mean to offend anyone, just haven't had any luck previously. I still doubt very seriously the availability at 50 days though.There is a whole thread about people getting FPs for FOP for March and many people have been able to get them so I don't think they are full of it lol.

Way. I canceled two days as soon as we decided our AK day3 separate days you were able to get 3 each? At 50 Days? No way...
I knew what you meant lol. I was a little frustrated seeing people going in March and having no trouble getting FPs. DH and I pulled an all nighter so we could be on right at 7 am (6 am our time) and the earliest time we could get was 5:40 pm on day 63. I thought that was pretty bad considering it says AK will be a 3 for crowds on touring plans. Doesn't mean they are right (they've been awfully wrong in January). I was able to modify it to an earlier time about 55 days before our trip, but haven't seen anything since then.That may be the case then which makes me happy for my upcoming trip.

60+4 or more has been the "norm" from everything I a have seen prior to this thread. Congrats!My FP+ booking window opened today for 3/30-4/6. I was able to get FOP for 9 people at 9:20am on 60+5 and 2:25pm on 60+6. This is for 4/4 and 4/5.
Not to get off topic, but something has drastically changed or shifted this year is seems. January and February seem to be insane this year. There is very nearly nothing available from a rooms standpoint, and from all accounts reports from the parks are that the crowds are just as insane. I know Marathon Week is always busy, and MLK weekend is historically pretty bad. If I recall from last year the Pro Bowl had very little impact, but maybe that has changed this year. I'm also not sure how much impact the Festival of the Arts has? All I know is I had a Waitlist for last week that I created last August and in never came through. I stalked unsuccessfully as well. I have another for Presidents Weekend that I created at the same time. Still waiting...I knew what you meant lol.
