...said no one ever!
Has anyone had any success booking FP+ this morning?

I don't get why they have FP windows, ADR windows, and things like free dining all go live at the same time. I understand why they moved the FP window to open at 7 am - so if people have problems they can get help. But now if the system goes down they have multiple groups of people affected. And with more people hitting their system at the same time, they're more likely to go down then. They should space things out.
OP, sorry for your troubles this morning. Looks like everyone is having them.
was that at 6am rather than 7?My 180 was this morning and I didn’t have any trouble booking my ADRs...

How? 180 day ADRs happen daily. Someone’s FP+ window opens daily.
They could have spaced FD and Resort discounts but Many folks compare both prior to making a choice. This helps them.
As usual, Disney can not please everyone. Some people just have to complain
I think what she meant was not to have it all open at the same time of day. Maybe wait until 9:00 or 10:00 am for new discounts to be active to allow those doing dining and FP+ to get through.
From what I understand, FD dropped at 5 AM Eastern, followed by the usual ADRs at 6 and FP at 7.
That is true, but by 6:30 or so, the website was already down with the influx of people trying to get FD. By holding the new discounts until later in the morning, at least those up early to get ADRs and FPs could do so before the site goes down with FD enthusiasts.

As KrazeeK stated they did all open at different times. But perhaps they could have spread them out more. But some wouldn't have liked waiting for free dining at 5, close to the dinner hour for Moms trying to feed families.They could have FPs open at 7 am, ADRs open at noon and free dining drop at 5 as an example. Then not everyone is hitting the system at the same time. Also if the system does go down first thing in the morning it is only affecting the FP people and Disney IT had several hours to fix it before people making ADRs are trying to access the system.
I don't think that suggesting there are better ways to do things is the same as complaining. But different people have different opinions on process improvement.
