30 Day FP strategy

[nxfan]

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. We are going the first week of August. We are not staying at a Disney hotel (staying at Wyndham Bonnet Creek). We will have to try for our FP at the 30 day mark.
Here are a few questions:
Do I have to book each day at the 30 day mark or can I book them all at the 30 day mark?
What time can I book them at the 30 day mark? Midnight? 5am? 7am?

I have accepted that the chance of us getting a FP for FOP or any of the new rides in Toy Story Land are slim to none. What advice would you give so that we can actually ride these rides? We were planning on going to the parks for 5 out of our 7 days with park hoppers. I was able to add a 6th day by buying on UT site. Our first day there (not the day we fly down) we were not planning on going to the parks but now we can. I want this to be a casual day. I was thinking of getting the best FP that I can for the MK, leaving in the afternoon and trying to do FOP at closing time. Do you think this is a good strategy?

Any advice would be appreciated!

You'll only be able to book FP's for one day - so each day at the 30 day mark. You won't be able to do them all on one day. The FP window opens online at 7am EST.

In regards to strategy for TSL and FOP, I'd either rope drop or jump in the line a few minutes before closing. That'll be your best bet to ride with a "short" line. I think your strategy is probably the best option you have without being able to get a FP. I'd also recommend on the day of, refreshing the app and continuing to look for fastpasses. Someone may cancel theirs at the last minute and you may be able to snag one.

Yes, you must book one day at a time.

You can book at 7am, as noted above.

You likely won't get FoP or the new Toy Story rides, so you'll just have to rope drop those or wait in line. The rest of the rides should be no trouble to get FP+ for.

I haven't had much luck myself. July 4th was the only day I could book one of the two new attractions in TSL at my 30 day mark. I had no trouble getting TSM though. I found it easier to get FoP.

All is not lost -- I peeked at the 30 day options this morning at 7 am Eastern and there were a couple AS2 timeslots available, late in the evening. FOP and SDD were, of course, gone.

I would keep an eye on the park hours for your trip. If more park hours are added, often more FP come available the next day or so. I was able to get FOP FP in April that way.
