In your recent (ish) experience, which rides in MK pop up the most for 4th FP+? Thanks!
 
Easier to say which (in general) do not show up:
Not: 7DMT
Not: Pan
Not: BTM

To a lesser degree:
Not: SplashMtn
Not: SpaceMtn
Not: HM
Not: Pirates

And, as always, there will be exceptions to these.
 
If your willing to refresh long enough you can find just about anything but it might take hour to do.
Like the PP said there are a few that are harder / takes a long time to get
 
Should caveat here though that nobody knows what it will be like when WDW reopens and there might not be same day FPs available (see thread on limuted advance FPs).

I would add Enchanted Tales with Belle as one that can be tricky to get day of.
 

I'd say it depends on how diligently you plan to work the system, the time of day, and the crowd level.
At MK, I'd say 7d might be the toughest all day. I'd be pretty confident on getting a 4th for all of the others by checking for a few minutes STRAIGHT. It helps if you are not the only person in your group hunting, but if you are checking the system without distraction for a few minutes, on a not too crazy crowded day, I'd expect to have success. 7d is a tough one, but I'd rather do space and splash and btm anyway. We do 7d as a prebook, one and done. We normally don't even hunt for a 7d for a 4th or whatever number we're on -9th, 10th - whatever.
 
In my experience:

4th ones that are usually quite easy to get:

Mickey's PhilharMagic
Winnie the Pooh
It's a Small World
Dumbo
Barnstormer
Mad Tea Party
Monster's Inc.
Under the Sea

Not as Common as the Above But Still Readily Available:

Buzz Lightyear
Tomorrowland Speedway
Meet Various Princesses
Magic Carpets of Aladdin


The others, as others have said, are all possible, especially if you are willing to take them at 8 pm or later. Just takes some time. And this is general. You just never know what is going to pop up. I have had days when Splash or SDMT or Space popped up several times, while I couldn't get Haunted Mansion or Jungle Cruise or Pirates to save my life. It depends on other guests who release them (and possibly on Disney wanting to move crowds). That is really the fun part of it, for me. I love the randomness of it. Such a thrill when something pops up that I want at a time I want.
 
Everything at MK was readily available (pre-pandemic) as a same day fast pass excepting SDMT (rare but does happen) if you know how and are willing to work the app a bit. (Does not take an hour)
 
The only one I have not seen was 7DMT.
Rarely Peter Pan.
I have been able to get everything else.
It may take some time refreshing or modifying. HM, Pirates, Jungle Cruise, Space Mountain and BTMRR can be challenging at times. Usually have not had much trouble getting Splash Mountain.
 
Thank you so much! I’m trying to figure out which rides to save for 4th fastpass (i.e. small world vs. under the sea). Sounds like it doesn’t matter much for those types so I’ll just plan according to where we’ll be at the time.
 
Also if you have a bigger party split then up. It’s easier to get a FP for 2 then 4 in my experience.
 
We saw Barnstormer, Winnie the Pooh,Dumbo, and Tea Cups pop up when we were refreshing for a 4th.
 
In January it was crowded and 4th FP for the big rides was rare. Typically you see The junk rides available like Aladdin Carpets, Speedway, Philharmagic, dumbo a good amount. You could get Buzz, Jungle Cruise usually after 6, Pirates and Pooh. Splash was closed but Big Thunder, Space and 7DMT we’re not there at all as well as Haunted Mansion and Peter Pan. People Mover had 30 minute waits so that was a tell tale sign. It got worse in February and March. So unless you hit it lucky the big boys will not be thee. Maybe for one or two but larger groups were hard if not impossible.
