30 vs. 60 day FP at SB

[sam1985]

We've done Disney on site and off before but never off site at peak times. Is staying at a 60 day FP hotel worth it over spring break?

We're going to do one day at MK, so we'll be behind the ball for 60 days hotels as anyone with an overlapping stay that gets there before us will have already booked.
We also have smaller children who don't like Pooh and aren't wild about Pan and who do not want to ride Splash or Space mountain. We usually just do mine train if we can get a PPO breakfast and get on line before the park actually opens.

So really we look for fast passes for the less popular stuff (Ariel, Small World, Ariel, Meet and Greets) and we look early in the day so we can chun them during the afternoon (we've been known to ride the barnstormer 10 times in a row with FP because, why not once you've done everything else).

I think you'll be fine for that lineup. Peter Pan's Flight would be difficult to get early in the day at 30 days out, but if you don't care about it—and can ride the Mine Train after a PPO breakfast—you should be set.

We usually stay off site, granted not during the most crowded times, but you can overcome lack of FP’s in a lot of ways with rope drop and PPO like you said. We were also able to get rides like Buzz Lightyear by refreshing for FP’s day of. It’s workable!

with those rides you'll be fine at 30 days. you'll probably even be fine getting them day of tbh (although the times might be limited)

If you don't want anything popular then it shouldn't be a problem.
Heck even if you do want something like 7DMT its possible.
I was able to get it 30 days out for a party of 10 during Easter break a couple years ago.
The ones you mentioned are easy to get as 4th and beyond the day of.
Keep in mind that around Easter the park hours are highly likely to extend so don't get a PPO if your only reason is for the "advantage" of lining up early.
Also keep in mind that when hours extend FP extends so you may be able to modify your times or attractions.
