Hi can someone please clarify for me. If we have a card...And we get a return time for say 2pm. Can you ride something else inbetween with no wait time?

Thank you. No I was just thinking if we got a return time for 90 mins or something maybe we could go to something with no wait like laugh floor.

Yep, that's a good plan. I'm trying to come up with an itinerary that takes advantage of low crowds in the morning, FP+ later in the day, rides and shows with typically short waits during busier times of the day, and use the DAS when there's no other way. Luckily DD is on board with rope drop. We usually tour until around 2:00, head back to the resort for a break, then venture back out in the evenings when it's cooler and crowds have started to decrease a little.
I just wanted to share our experiences over MLK weekend. We went both Sunday and Monday of the holiday to MK. We were offsite guests, so we chose our FP+ options there. Being onsite would have the advantage of choosing in advance the time frames you want.
Sunday we ended up with FP+ for Pooh (3:30-4:30, Pirates (4:30-5:30) and Buzz (5:30 - 6:30). There were no FP+ available for PP, so we used the DAS for that, it had a 90 minute return time, 4:20 was our return time.
But when we arrived for PP it was having technical difficulties. So we went to Mermaid and got a new return time. We knew this would cancel out the PP return time. When the cm took our card, she asked us if we rode PP. We said no, it was having technical difficulties. She wanted to make sure we understood that if she wrote down a return time for Mermaid, that we wouldn't be able to go on PP. We told her we understood. She crossed out PP and wrote Mermaid's return time.
We rode Pooh, then Mermaid, then POTC. The FP+ line for POTC took us 20 minutes to get to the 2nd area where you scan your ticket again. From here they sent us into the stand by line because of the w/c and the elevator's location. That was another 8 minute wait. DS was having trouble holding it together after 28 minutes. He was overjoyed when it was out turn. Then the attraction experienced technical difficulties. They announced that they had to reset the attraction. We were stuck in the fire scene for ten minutes. It took all the energy he had to hold it together. He did great with deep breathing and deep pressure. It was good practice using the tools he's learned in OT.
DH and I thought it was a pretty quick. Over the years we've been stuck on attractions for around 20 minutes as they were reset. Once we were evacuated and the boat pushed by a cm in thigh high boots when Maelstrom had technical difficulties.
Anyway all the noise of that scene and the people on the boats was too much for ds. As soon as we got off, he wanted to go home. He fell asleep almost as soon as he hit the w/c. When we got home he was disappointed he missed Buzz and wanted to go back the next day to ride Buzz.
Monday we got FP+ at the Adventureland Verandah for Jungle Cruise (3:25-4:25), Pooh (5:15 - 6:15) and Buzz (6:15 - 7:15). And a DAS return time for the Speedway for 6:12.
At JC, if you have a FP+ you scan your ticket media in the FP+ line, but then leave there and go to the w/c line. There are 2 different w/c queues. One for those who can transfer and one for those who cannot.
So we rode JC, ate an early supper at Pecos Bill's, rode Pooh, watched the Incredible's Dance Party, rode Buzz and ds was too tired for anything else and we missed the return for the Speeday. We headed home.
For my family, using the 3FP+ was sufficient. There really wasn't enough time going from FP+ to FP+ for us to ride other attractions. We would have had the potential to go on 5 attractions if we really hustled. But ds needs to go at a leisurely pace and can't spend long hours at a park. We spent about 4 hours on Sunday and Monday. In addition to those 3 attractions each day, he did play a little SotMK.
