I had thought that, so I am guessing they are generally available for on the day fast passes!?
Hope your having an amazing time.

However the method in my madness is that whilst I am sat down waiting I am on the phone trying to grab a headliner such as FOP!

Thank you, that was what I was thinking, we have been really lucky with our fast passes so far, and been able to get everything we wanted more than once. we are here for 3 weeks and even on days out of wdw plan to come back to parks for tea (as we are on the QSDP) and to use our fast passes. If on a day we end up not going back will cancel them.

If you arrive by 2:50 you will get seated without a fastpass anyway. Although you will be in a different area of the theatre.

Even in august we tend to turn up at shows late and get a seat without a problem.

Our top tip for the uncomfortable benches is seat pads like these -
EVA Foam Foldable Folding Seat Cuchion EVA Pad EVA Kneeler Camping Outdoor Cushion - Blue (Blue) amazon/dp/B00B70MJ..._QE48CbQSWY7Z7

They are a bit bulky but we were doing beauty and beast, Indiana Jones and fantasmic in one afternoon and it was so worth carrying an extra bag for these - our tailbones thanked us!

Also, agree with others that to me a FP is for saving time and a FP for a show doesn’t (you have to arrive early anyway) so we wouldn’t bother. However, we do some of the dining packages with priority seating if it’s a restaurant we want to eat at anyway.

I read somewhere that the best fastpasses are the ones that don't allow large numbers of people in or on at any one time. So since a show caters for 100's of people it's not a worthy fastpass... however, we have fastpassed shows like Lion King before!

Have a wonderful trip!

We have our 3 FPs booked for each day. If we finish the and there is a conveniently timed show with FP availability I might get one "just because I can"

As Tom Morrow says, once you are tagged in you can look for a FP for an actual ride while seated in the theatre.

The only show I would probably get a fp for in future would be the lion king show, there is a decent amount of seating but because of the way the seating is if your nearer the back it is a bit harder to see.
Shows like nemo, Indiana Jones, frozen you’ll get a decent view from most of the seats really.

We usually use our three on the rides, then as it gets closer to the show you can usually pick one up then.
