For our AK day (April 11), we were lucky enough to score FoP for 12:15. For my other two FP+ at AK, I scheduled EE at 10:10, and Dinosaur at 11:15 - because we are doing Tusker House PPO, I thought we'd ride KJ after breakfast. Now I'm second guessing myself, though, and wondering whether I should try to change that second FP+ to KJ - on the theory that something could go wrong with the post-PPO plan, and anyway, it's different every time, right? - and it seems likely I could get Dinosaur as a fourth FP+. Opinions welcome, TIA!

ETA: my only real hesitation is that my sons, who are 4 and 9, my be frustrated by going on the same fairly long ride twice within 2 hours - and since I haven't been to WDW since 2005 (and never with kids), I can't really speak to how engaging it might be for them to do twice.

I have never been to a Disney park where the phrase, "Let's do THAT again!" was not used multiple times.
 
My 5 yo probably would not appreciate doing KJS more than once in a row but he wouldn’t throw a tantrum about it either. He might whine. Dinosaur, however can be dicey for kids that age. Some are fine, some are terrified. You may want to check out some YouTube videos. Assuming you think he’ll like it, it is pretty easy to get as a 4th.
 

I would keep the reservations you have. I’ve heard it’s great in the evening and the line isn’t generally too bad then.
 
WE hadn’t no problem getting dinosaur for our 4th FP but we had to work at it a couple minutes. If you do rope drop at all, everyone runs strait to FOP in the morning and we were able to do the rest of the park fairly quickly. Dinoland is empty in the morning
