4th fast pass at MK after the 3 best fast passes ?

[pooh2001]

If we do our favorite 3 MK rides in the AM with our 3 pre-selected fast passes.....
What would be your choice of the 4th (maybe 5th also) fast pass?
And in which order, since I think you can get only 1 additional fast pass each time ?
Maybe one of the below we could just stand in line without a fast pass?

Our possible time frame - MARCH weeks before Easter season or NOVEMBER the first 2 weeks of the month, after Halloween and before Thanksgiving

I was thinking what maybe available - we would like to do them all, but in what order, and which should we try to fast pass as our 4th and 5th, or which we could just stand in line for with a 30 minute or less wait?

Thank you !

Not any of those will need a FP.

The busiest of those would be Small World.

This kind of information is in the FP+ thread found HERE. Read post #1 and #2 for FP+ recommendations and timing advice.

So we could just 4th FP, It's a Small World
Thank you !

As Robo said, you won't need a FP for any of those -- especially if you do rope drop. IASW will have a short (less than 5 minute) wait if you get to it early in the morning. My advice is to schedule the first FP for no earlier than 10:00-11:00 and spend the first 1.5 hours doing things standby -- save the FP's for when the crowds start to build. If you use your 3 FP's by 1:00 or so, there will be plenty of availability for a 4th, 5th, etc We used 10 FP's in one day at MK in June. Plus we rode another 10 attractions standby. We did everything on your list except for Country Bears and Monsters Inc. that day and didn't use FP for any of them -- they all were walk-on or we just had to wait for the next show to start (so less than a 10 minute wait). The attractions on your list are the things we go to while we're waiting for our next FP window to open up.

You won't need a Fast Pass for any "show"-like attraction.

I'd get whatever is closest in time from the time you are getting your fourth fast pass . .just so you can turn around and get a 5th . .and a 6th .. if you want

What I did last year in October after using our 3 fast passes before lunch, I just got Jungle Cruise for after the FoF parade. My son napped after lunch until the start of the parade. So we watched the parade and then . .turned around and hit the kiosk right there as we exited .. got Aladdin's carpets for 5 minutes from then (granted the fast pass really wasn't needed) . .turned around went back to the kiosks at the Jungle Cruise and got "It's a Small World" for minutes later ... and then had dinner. The Standby Lines weren't long but it still saved us time (especially when I just waited at the kiosk while my wife and son were on a bathroom break).

So I used 6 Fast Passes that day.

After another trip in end of August (not as crowded) .. I used my fourth fast pass for Buzz Lightyear.

Depending on the composition of your group (and what they want to ride) .. I would suggest rides that have longer lines than you'd expect (but not that long):
(Leaving out the coasters)
- Jungle Cruise
- Pirates
- Haunted Mansion
- Buzz Lightyear
- Winnie the Pooh

I would also encourage a Fast Pass for Peter Pan if you are at all interested in it. It consistently has a 60+minute wait time.

Except, if you do FP for Pan, you won't get to experience the new Interactive Queue,
which some consider to be equal to (or better than) the ride, itself.

In November, you will probably be able to pick up better FP+ as a 4th than those on your list. MK is the one park where the 4th FP can actually be pretty useful. We've seen mountains, Buzz, Jungle Cruise, Pooh, and others available. We are always looking for Peter Pan, and even when we stack our 3 really early, we have only seen it come up once (and the single time was a time we could not use it)- if you want Peter Pan you should make it one of your 3. In March, you are dealing with the spring break crowd so your list might wind up being pretty accurate for that time of yeur.

We were all excited to see the interactive queue this summer so we planned for Peter Pan using the standby line. At about 11 pm, the posted wait was 40 minutes but the actual wait was about 1 minute as there were only about 10 people in line. We breezed right by the interactive stuff and didn't get to see any of it.

We'd be included in that group! It is really neat to see. Really cool effects. We rode it last week a little after 11 PM (EMH night) - wait was only 15 minutes. Would've liked a little longer to check it out more.

People mover dose not have a fist pass and even if the line is long enough for them to hold the sign that say end of line is here the wait is only 10 minutes the other ones are just about walk on or maybe 10 minutes small world you might have a 30 minute wait. I would just do what every FP+ is closer to you

I think that my shoe might spontaneously come untied a few times
and I'd just have to attempt to tie it and retie it for, oh, about 15 minutes, before proceeding through the queue.

It's not vacation if I have to wear shoes that tie.

We were there the 2nd week of Nov. last year and there was a moderate crowd. (half marathon/veterans day) We had FP+ for Splash Mt, Space Mt, A & E. Got additional FP+ for BTMRR, Meet Cinderella, Meet Ariel. Pirates and 7DMT were 35/40 min waits, we pretty much walked on everything else. Didn't do Peter Pan or Pooh. We had 6 FPs! Looked for a 7th but had done all we wanted that was available. In Sept we walked in MK around 10am, did HM, BTMRR, Splash, rode the train and out we went! (Our FPs were at DHS later in the day but we never used them! FYI....FP Early!) Wait times were starting to get to 45 minutes when we headed out about noon time.

We are already planning our next trip! Lol! We are going to spend a whole day at MK and here's the plan.....
Early FPs Peter Pan, 7DMT, Space MT. Then hopefully FPs for Pirates, HM, BTMRR.

Darn slip-ons!
I always end up with some stray little stone or sand in them.

It can take unto, oh, 15 minutes, or so, to get that cleared out.
