Thx for reply and the info I was after. However we've now decided there's too many factors against a Disney trip next year and have decided to do an onsite stay in 2022* if free dining is back.
* I may be doing the Barcelona Ironman in October fingers crossed if everything goes to plan so that might affect a 2022 Disney trip. I do have plan C and eyeing up the Florida Ironman but that's in November each year.

We got all of the big ones including (Soaring, BTM, Space and Splash Mountains, Everest, Dinosaur, Test Track, RnR, ToT, Starwars etc. There was no Pandora, Galaxy's Edge or Toy Story Lando n that trip so I have no idea what it'll be like booking these.

You could always book a single night at one of the less expensive hotels so that you can get access 60 days out. We have heard that this one way of making it more likely that you get the fast pass selections you want.

Many thx for your reply and help.
We've got fights and car booked but have now decided against Disney for next year. Too many things going against it for us.

I'm sure they counter acted against the one night booking loophole and u can only book FP for the nights you actually stay on site rather than the 14 day tickets worth if that's what u meant.

I agree it’s currently hard to know what’s gonna happen with tourists next year. I wonder what the % of guests is from outside of America as think the self isolation rules will have a big decision on it as currently my American boss is over here and his in self isolation for 14 days and when he goes back his got to do the same.
