FOP FP impossible?

We go May half term, I keep reading how difficult it is to get a FP for FOP (and some others). When people say difficult, how difficult are we talking? More chance we won't get it than we will? What are the queues like at EMH rope drop?

Think it will depend on if your onsite or not. We went in June as we were offsite I didn’t see a FP for fop

I can't answer the rope drop question as we always stay offsite so have a 30 day FP window. We were unable to get FOP at 30 days for any of our holiday but, by using the dibb fastpass+ availability tool and some sheer luck we did manage to get fast passes about 14 days out from our trip.
This was the first time we had ridden it since Pandora opened. If we didn't already have some firm things booked in we could have booked fast passes on several days but we were tied into other plans. I can now understand why it is such a sought after fast pass.
Fast passes do become available all the time because peoples plans change so don't lose hope.

I didn't have a problem getting FOP the last time we stayed on site. As I knew these were tricky to get hold of, I booked them first as AK was later in my stay then went back to the first day and worked from there. I made sure I just took whatever time I was offered and worked my plans around that time. We went middle of Aug.
If you don't get one, just keep checking as you never know.
Good Luck

Just as an add, I would queue for this ride if I didn't have a FP. It really is a great ride.

Sorry should have said we will be onsite. We go for 11 days, so the later in those days we try the better? But lal released the same day?

If you are staying on site you can book your FP at 60 days out for the first 10 days then day 11 the following day etc (if that makes sense).
So if you arrange to go to AK/FOP further into your holiday, on your FP day you can book that first, probably more likely to get one.

Don't worry about it. It's totally over-hyped, not worth stressing over. I did it once last year to see what all the fuss was about and didn't bother when I went a couple of months ago.

We were a mixture of off site and on site in October - we got fast passes for every single ride, some multiple times - some we got at 60 day’s, some 30 and some when our plans changed at 24 hours notice.

Even got a FOP on the day

Peoples plans change ALL the time ... it really is just a case of checking when you get a minute!
