Mobile Best Fastpass Strategy

Hello
What’s the best way to approach getting fast passes at 60 days out?
1 day at a time from start of hol to end? From end of hol to start? From start and end and meet in the middle?
Any advice greatly appreciated xxx

Start at the end ofyour trip as there will be more available. Grab your ‘must do’ rides first, then the rest. Be flexible on times as much as possible and take what you can for rides like FoP and mine train for examplee

Book your must-haves and the more popular rides first and then book all the others. Best to aim for the more popular rides (FoP, Slinky Dog etc) a few days into your stay as ithey can be nigh on impossible to get at 60 days.

This helps me as my 60 day is this Saturday and weren’t sure how to approach it, I’ve made a list of the busier rides and plan to just book up what I can until there gone then cancel on the days we are at universal

I wrote out what I wanted and put stars beside the ones like flight of passage etc that were harder to get so went for those ones first, but the system was a bit mad and some booked and some didn't, but ended up getting SDMT for our first day and flight of passage for the next day - I wasn't expecting that at all. I did the difficult ones in a few spare minutes at work and then did the rest at home later on.

I did check the DIBB fastpass availability list so had an idea what would be available on which day.

Thanks for your tips everyone! All my fast passes are booked. And got everything we wanted (I think...) Now to keep staring at them - wonder how many times I’ll modify...

Just a quick question we are staying on site for three weeks - how much of our stay will I be able to book FP's for at 60 days?

Also jumping on this (hope the OP doesn't mind!)

Do you book one FP at a time, or book three for the same day in one go?
i.e. if I want FOP on one day and Mine Train on another, do I try for those two individually first and then go back to add in the others afterwards?
Or should I book FOP with another two for AK that day and then move on to Mine Train and another two for MK for another day?

Hope that makes sense!

I'm planning to book any SD for all days I want first then FOP then SWMT- after that I'll work through in order.

I think you can book 60+10 then rolling day to day at 60+10

If your early risers and regularly in the parks for rope drop then book your fast passes for later on in the day as you can get so much done in the first couple of hours - we ended up cancelling some of our FP as rides were walk on
