Fastpass + for Wishes not available

our 60 day window just opened up for our fastpass + selections but Wishes does not show as an option for any day of our stay in June 2014. I tried asking the online help on Disney site, but they had no explanation. Anyone know why we are unable to book this?

We were also unable to book a FP for Wishes and I continued trying periodically up until our trip (including the day of)--no dice. What I WAS able to book the night before was a FP for Main Street Electrical Parade and we were not asked to move following the 9:00 parade. It was a little close to the castle for Wishes, but it beats trying to cram in somewhere at the last minute and it gives you a GREAT view of Celebrate the Magic immediately before Wishes. I didn't see the option to book MSEP at 60 days out, but I had no trouble booking it the night before and the viewing area for our night did not seem full. This was for the night of Tuesday, April 8. It felt like a low-moderate crowd day and it had rained off and on until around 6pm that day.

I don't think that or the parades are going to be able to be booking at the 60 day mark. Maybe closer to 2 weeks or so. We are under 30 and still can't.

We have AP and through our experience so far with FP+ it seems for us, that starting on the first day of each month, we are allowed to pick parade and Wishes FP+ through that month. I just picked FP+ options for us today for our end of April trip. I was able to book both parades and Wishes through April 30(17 days out.) But starting May 1, I couldn't pick either parades or Wishes. We are going to WDW twice in May so I am going to check May 1 and see if I am able to book parades and Wishes through the whole month of May.

I have no experience with a resort reservation or vacation package, so I don't know how they are set up.

The Touring Plans guys have just done a really good blog posting about this, they are saying that they are not released until a lot nearer the dates and that is for all the FP+ parades, fireworks. You just have to keep checking back on a regular basis anything from a month onwards. (apologies for not putting a link in but I cannot even get a photo posted!)

Just booked my Wishes FP+ this morning for 21 May.. yay No dates for my two week visit were available last week, so keep checking as you get closer to your arrival date. I actually had to cancel a day worth of FP's to get the 21st May Wishes, but I think it will be well worth it. Thanks to the www.touringplans website this made my decision that much more easy.. Now only if I can get the Festival of Fantasy parade!! crossfingers mickey

Tomorrow can't get here soon enough... waiting mickey clapping stars
