Still not a sniff of a FP for SDMT for us and I'm trying everyday . Being AP holders we get 30 days advance bookings but when I go on all SDMT FP's are gone. Tried getting up at 5am UK time when it changes to midnight in the US but no, even then the FP's are all gone. We're there for 3 weeks and yet not one day have we had the chance to book this ride, it's quite astounding

I'm assuming you guys are able to book more than 30 days in advance, probably 60?

I was able to book 2 FP+ for 9/29 for 7DMT earlier today (29 days out). These weren't available yesterday so I guess if you keep checking some come open once in a while. Only 1 time slot was available.

Actually I was able to pick one up for today by checking yesterday. It is just the luck of the draw when someone cancels theirs and you happen to be online to pick it up. I have found (and a CM told me) that you should continue to check MDE throughout the day to look for FP's that you want. People constantly are changing plans and we have been able to pick up last minute choices all the time.
still checking daily, still unable to score fp+ for the mine train. me thinks we'll be standing by to ride.
hey, i got them! they're for the hour before our ADRs in DHS, but you know. i'll keep checking and move some stuff around if need be. i'm just glad i have *something*.

If you get there right at the beginning of the window and head straight to DHS after riding, you should barely make it. The ride is very short so you should be off and on your way out of MK by 15 after the hour.

You can show up 5 minutes early too, may be off the ride close to the opening of your FP+ window if you do.

Could only get one 7dmt fp for a date that's 64 days out and part of our 5 day trip. Maybe because it's the week before the food and wine race?

I was on at midnight today for my trip in November. A&E and mine train were booked for everyday of our trip. That being said, I was looking for FP for our party of nine, so maybe if I had broken the party, I could have got in. I'll just try to ride it during EMH...if the line is too long, oh well. There's always next trip.

Worst case scenario as others have mentioned - get in line at :59 at closing.

I agree - we APs are at a major disadvantage because we are placed in the pool with all the non resort guests. I would prefer 45 days out for APs.
i remember being frustrated by a lot of things as an AP when i lived 8 miles from DAK. then i remember that I LIVED 8 MILES FROM DAK. it was frustrating that we couldn't wake up one morning and say, 'hey, let's eat at disney' because there wouldn't be any ADRs left. i don't know how i'd feel now with the fp+ system. but it looks like, if you're flexible, stuff changes and opens up daily - i've been able to get TWO fp+ for the mine train now, and have been able to juggle them around to fit what i wanted exactly.

I am going to MK on 11/7 and I went on to book my FP+ at midnight on my 60 day mark and was also unable to get the FP+ for mine train. I kept trying multiple times the next 2 days and was able to get one, and at exactly the right time. I think you just have to keep trying every day until something opens up as people change their plans. I am still looking for an Anna and Elsa FP+ for that day.

I now have 2 booked for our trip 10/28-11/9. I got the 1st one at my 60 day mark and last week I was able to get another for our last night in the world. I think I could have done a 3rd as well on one of my days but the time/day was not ideal. So just keep trying!

The first couple of weeks SDMT was open, I saw wait times climb into the 115-130 min range. That's just sick to wait that long for a ride and FPs were impossible to get. But, seeing we how live "around the corner" from Disney (actually, we live 3 hrs away from Disney), we waited and my wife wound up getting the fastpasses in advance for our September trip that we just took and she, I think, booked another round of Fastpasses for when we go back in December.
