Why no fast passes for Mickeys PhilharMagic?

Is something strange happening with PhilharMagic? I�ve been looking at what fast passes are available at 30 days and what are in high demand to get an idea what to book as a priority and it appears that PhilharMagic FPs seem to run out a few days after T-30 days. I won�t have a problem getting it at 30 days, but from my past few visits I remember it just being a walk on attraction and not something I need a FP for. Looking at live queues it�s only 15 minute wait, so why the unavailability of FPs?

I would get it if it was Peter Pan where there�s currently an 80 minute wait, but it seems that getting a FP for Peter Pan is even possible on the day, whereas at 25 days out a 15 minute wait attraction is fully blocked.

Any ideas? I�m guessing it�s still a waste of a FP?

No idea why its not on FP as i cant see any planned maintenance documented for it, but you are correct, this is a max capacity ride and therefore Q time is normally short.

I don't think Philharmagic is normally on during MNSSHP anyway as it's used as a treat location

Oh no - now I am even more disappointed, I just assumed all rides were open . Thanks for letting me know though better to know before than when I get there .

When we went during MNSSHP in 2017 it was a treat location showing The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, it was a washout that night with rain so we sheltered in there a while
