I am local and am limited to 7. I have multiple resort site stays with NO other days that do not have resort nights booked and am unable to book more than 7. I believe there is a shift in policy and they are now enforcing the split stay aspect of the 7 day rule for AP. Previously, if you had all on site stays you could get more FP, and I did briefly, but now it is 7 total, unless you stay is more than 7 days.
On a side note, I have had the best success the day of. Yesterday, Saturday March 23, I managed to get three SDD fp for all around noon pretty quickly at 915-930. I needed a fourth and that took me another hour of off and on checking. I did spend more time getting these than I would like, and if I couldn't have I would have just let my kids (15, 8, 6) go without me. We also got a ToT and were working on ST, but every one was tired and we left. In my experience, same day fast passes are easier to get around 9:30-11:30. I'm still pretty new at doing that, as I like to plan out the day, but I'm learning to roll with it.
