I notice the lack of availability of big fastpasses for my 60 day window opening up last week as oppose to 6 months ago.
I truly think it now also has to do with all the good neighbor hotels, 4 seasons hotel, etc being part of the 60 day window. Where as six months ago it was just disney property hotels. also club level gets fp at 90 days if they $
While i got everything i wanted at 60 day I did have to wait till much further in my trip to get them (we are staying for ten nights) if I had a shorter trip I would have had no chance. Its disappointing at 60 days out to not get what you want esp when you log on exactly at 7am
I really have no idea what the impact is of good neighbor hotels (though they were added at the beginning of this year from my understanding). However, the OP is trying to book the it attraction of this time period.
I have only been here on the Boards since Oct 2015 but I remember reading the awful FEA "I can't get a FP for it" threads, then last year it was FOP and to an extent NRJ "I can't get a FP for it" threads (I used the tactic of starting at the last day I'd be going to AK to look for my FOP FP and easily had my choice), and this year it's Slinky and to an extent Alien Saucers. I know that even though it's been several years 7DMT continues to be a hot hot hot commodity in MK. Sure the FP is easier to get but it still remains the hardest I believe (could be wrong) in MK to get.
So in a nutshell someone is going to be disappointed no matter who is added to the "who is eligible for a FP" simply because the attraction is very desirable.
Now yes length of stay does add an advantage since you don't have to book day by day and you could possibly have a better outcome using the tactic of starting the latter part of your trip.
