4th FP for Test Track OR Soarin....possible?

[Clojel]

We're doing a quick 2 day trip to the parks before our cruise and we are trying to maximize our time! We haven't been to AK since Pandora opened, so we're doing a full day there, but then we're splitting our time the next day between MK & Epcot. My DD (8) has been to MK several times so she has a To-Do list of Pirates, 7DMT, Space, Splash, BTMRR, and HM. Once we've hit those, we plan on hopping to Epcot for the rest of the day. I know they typically say to use your FPs at the second park when hopping but since DD has all the "big" rides at MK on her list, we're going to use our first 3 FPs and then try and score either TT or Soarin with our 4th FP (we've done FEA before and have no interest in doing again). There will be 3 of us total and I'm not really sold on using "single rider"...do you think I have a shot of getting one of them as my 4th FP? Would it be possible to get the other later in the day as a 5th? Or am I just being ridiculous

We'll be there on a Sunday, early November.

I''ve been able to get a same day FP for test track. And since they put in the 3rd screen at Soarin standby isn't as bad.

I was able to get TT and Soarin for 4th and 5th back to back two Sundays ago for a group of 3. Good luck!

If you can't get FP for Soarin or TT, do them in the last hour that the park is open. I was able to ride Soarin twice in the last 20 minutes due to low lines (and the park was pretty crowded that day). If you want to see Illuminations however, this won't work. Also, you probably already know this but as soon as you scan your MB for your third FP at MK, get on your phone and get the 4th FP. Don't wait!

I regularly get day-of FPs for both those.

I could have had both last week. We got a soarin 4th FP around 4:00 for pretty immediate use and while we were waiting I looked again and test track had availability in about 30 minutes, as well as another one for soarin. We didn’t get a 5th as my DD was tired. The mid-afternoon summer FL sun was a killer. I was bummed, I wanted to do TT. Oh well.

I got same day fast passes for every ride after first 3, except FOP so yes it’s possible

I was there two weeks ago and got a TT FP for 3 as a 5th FP. Totally possible.

I would just book two at MK. Book 7DMT for 9:15-10:15 and space 10:15-11:15 (if park opens at 9). Rope drop and ride BTMRR then splash, pirates and HM without FP. Scan FP for 7dmt at the end of that window then space then you can book your FP for Epcot while still at MK.
ETA I think you can look for the Epcot FP as soon as you scan the FP at the first ride (7dmt) but I haven’t tried that so maybe others can weigh in.

Yep, we were able to get both a couple of times as either same day (we added a day at the end of our trip) or fourth FP in April. Our last day (which we added at the last minute) we were able to ride TT twice and Soarin' three times, all with FP!

Wait. What? You don't need a 3rd throwaway at your first park to book at a second park (after scan of 2nd, of course)? oh boy thats a gamechanger!
