The Best FastPass Strategy?

[tyke]

Hi all

After initially deciding we were going to give Florida a miss this year, we have booked a very late trip... jetting off on Friday!

I'm busy sorting out our plans and wondered how you guys approach your FastPass bookings?

As we are only a few days away from the the holiday, we are well within the 30 day period for booking our FastPasses.

On past trips we have tended to book FastPasses for early in the day and then book for other attractions when the initial 3 have been used. However, the selections available for the main attractions on this trip are limited for much later in the day.

This got me thinking that it may be better to arrive at the park for opening (which we usually do), ride the main attractions early using the standby line and then use the FastPass facility for other attractions later in the morning/early afternoon.

Has anyone used this strategy and does it work well for you?

Many thanks

sounds like a plan to me

we usually descide the night before what to do so a lot of FP are in the PM/early evening

we just arrive for rope drop and try and get as much done in the first couple of hours

for example head straight to the mountains (splash & thunder) both usually <30 mins early on so you can crack on

then take a break midday & have a spot of lunch then do any rides standby until your FP times

works for us

Since your FP choices will be limited now
Rope drop and use first 2 hours to do as much as possible.
Then use your 3 FPs.

Head to these first
MK - 7DMT, SM, BTM, Splash
Epcot - Soarin, Test Track, Frozen
AK - Pandora Rides
HS - TSM, RNR

Off site I'd do later in the day FPs.

On site I book early and try to score 4th and 5th etc.
