MDE Fast Past+ booking is driving me nuts!

We are in the "poor people 30 days out group", so obviously I am keen to login at midday and snap up what bookings we can. The past week has been intolerable, clearly the server cannot handle the volume of traffic it receives at this time of day.

Today my patience wore so thin I called Disney to vent my frustration-only to be told, in a very cheery pre-recorded message, that the wait time was 60+ minutes-Arghhhhhh!

Apparently the medical acronym for MDE is "major depressive episode" how apt!

Or is it just me and everyone else is breezing through the process?

I just tried to do 13th September and it says

All FastPass+ distribution is concluded for the selected date at all theme parks

Not sure if a tech issue or not (I hope it is)

Dont worry - we purchased our 5 day tickets while out there and booked Fp's 2 days in advance, we got everything we wanted and rode virtually ever ride on a FP and only join maybe 2 or 3 standby lines at rope drop.

When you are there, its a case of keeping checking the app and swapping FP's - also, when you get a FP at a later time than really wanted, book it and then go back in and move it to an eariler time..

On most days, we had used 3x fp's within the first 90 minutes.

I am also in the 'poor class' work till 6 so on my odd day off logged on at 12 found no top rides available obviously already taken by the on site visitors. Today at 12 thought I would try since I have a day off but like you cannot get on. Think I am going to leave it till we get there since the rides I can get are the ones nobody else wants

I must be lucky. Our FP day was about a week ago and I had 14 days worth finished by 12:45.

Having said that i've found Chrome to be temperamental on MDE and used Edge for this

When I booked my ADRs the on line reservation system was down for a couple of weeks. Loads and loads of us were affected. Whenever I rang Disney to book them the wait time was 2 and a half hours because so many of us were affected in those 2 weeks - literally thousands. There were loads of complaints on Facebook groups I belong to and other forums I go on.

Just wait until later in the day. It'll make little to no difference to which rides will be available to fastpass if you rush to do it at 12pm.

For example, there's no availability of FOP and SDD fastpasses for the next 60 days (so forget it at 30 days) and there's plenty of availability for NRJ, TT, Soarin' etc. And now at 2pm there's still availability for ASS. The only ride it might help with is 7DMT.

Also, see RickT's post earlier.
