3pm Arrival FP+ Hopper Strategy

[Jon360]

I am going to be in Orlando for work and have my arrival day free so decided to get a 1 day hopper.

My plan is to goto AK/HS/or EP first around 3pm, hit the big rides, and then goto MK afterwards since they close at 11pm or possibly will extend to midnight based on last years schedule. Would you suggest getting my FP+ for my first park (either AK, EP, or HS) or schedule them for the evening at MK? I'm assuming if I did get FP+ for my first park and if I finished them by 6 or 7pm nothing good would be left at MK?

You can book 1 or 2 for Park#1 and as soon as you enter your first FP line, go into the app and book FP(s) for MK.

It really depends on which park you choose first.

If we book 1 or 2 FP's for park #1, my concern is by 4 or 5pm when we can book the MK FP's all of the mountain's will be out of FP's.

Will you be going after Pandora opens in AK? You'd want a FP there if you decide on AK.

And if you enter your 1st FP line at Park#1 at 3:00p, you can immediately book for MK. Please see the FP FAQ ADDENDUM Sticky for FP booking tips when hopping.

I will be going prior to Pandora opening. Our flight lands at 1:30pm so I'm being optimistic getting to the park by 3pm. Hypothetically if we get into the park around 4-5pm all the good FP's for MK later that night will probably be gone I'm assuming?

If you want to be assured of 3 mountains at MK, it will be best to book your FPs for MK and wait in Standby lines at Park#1.
