The FOP fastpasses were only available for later on in our stay, so for our first animal kingdom day at the beginning, I had no chance.
This is how I did mine Sunday - did days with hardest to get rides first, so jumped around, day 5, day 12, day 4 and so on... got all I wanted, FOP twice, Navi River, all Toy Story Rides, Test track, Frozen, Soarin...morning times seemed to go first...i.e. by time I got to FOP 2nd time, just evening times left.

Hi I booked my fastpasses today and went straight for the newer rides that I wanted in the first few days. I couldn't get fop, 7dmt, or sdd in the first few days but managed to get them all at the times I wanted later in the holiday. Hope this helps.

First time doing the fast passes for me today, was surprised we got everything of the newer rides at the first attempt. Think it helped we decided on what days at what parks using the DIBB calendar of when to go. 60 days cant go by soon enough now.

Keep looking. ... they do appear. Book anytime and adjust it after. I got ours about a week after our FP day.

Hi Jason

Same here. No Fop either.

Is yours a short onsite stay? If so, that would explain it. If you are staying multiple days the trick everyone seems to be having success with is to work backwards from your later days. You are fighting less people for the day that opens up.

Nothing like hearing how people have multiple FOP bookings when you can't get one to make it more frustrating huh? I know my chances increase the longer I stay but I honestly couldn't share a room with my family for that long, as much as I love them. It would be carnage
