4th+ FP availability Thanksgiving week

[kiramay]

Over Thanksgiving week, how was the availability for 4th, 5th, etc fastpasses? Our first day (11/27) we won’t get to MK until around noon. What are the odds of getting extra FPs after the first 3? Party of 11 but we can split up. I’m just trying to figure out how much we can get done that day without waiting hours in line.
Thank you!

@JETSDAD or @Klayfish should be able to help you with this question as they are the FP genuises!

Having watched over many busy days I don't think it really is any different than other days. Sometimes there seems to be even more movement of FP's on those days. After you tap the first FP you could always start to try to move things up and use more FP's through the afternoon. The earlier you start the better the chance to find additional FP's but you work with the schedule you've got. The bigger issue is the group size. If you're going to split up and do different things then that makes it much easier. Trying to get 11 FP's all overlapping would be hard. I find groups no larger than 4 seems to work best (we had a group of 7 and split it into groups of 3 & 4 and found overlapping times because we wanted to stick together).

We visited this year from Saturday before Thanksgiving through to the Monday after and noticed an uptick in crowded Tuesday and then a decrease on Sunday after. It was such a nice long visit that we park hopped a lot and did everything we wanted multiple times.

During the busy days, there were always 4th FP available into the evenings, but it was the same, less desirable attractions. Also, we were only a party of 2. HS tended to have Little Mermaid into the evenings, MK had mostly fantasyland rides popping up like Dumbo, Teacups, Little Mermaid, AK had tough to be a bug and Kali river rapids, and we just weren't refreshing at EP in the evenings to see what popped up. The only times refresh helped was to grab something like Big Thunder.
