Best Extra FP+s in each park?

[mcgill93]

Hello!

Sorry if this is located elsewhere, but I couldn't find it...

Once I use my first three FastPasses in each park, which rides am I likely to be able to get extra Fast Passes for in each park?

Just wondering that peoples' experiences have been like after the first three are used.

Thanks so much!

depends on crowds and time, last trip I just got back from the crowd level was so low I could get anything. I would assume the popular rides in each park are not available.

The night shows, did run out fairly early, i used to be able to score a fireworks or night parade fp+ easily but wasn't able too on this trip. I usually wait until closer in the past but I think everyone knows more on how the system works now so they are more diligent in getting the night shows now.

Like the previous poster mentioned, a lot depends on time of year. I'll also add that a lot depends on the size of your party - the smaller it is, the better chance (I was able to get extra FPs for my party of 2 for all three mountains in MK when I was there in July). MK is also your best chance at scoring extra FPs simply because there are so many options.

Now it could be different depending on when you go, but I'd say you shouldn't count on any extra being available for 7DMT, Soarin, TT, ToT, or TSMM. Very unlikely at EE, and all three MK mountains.

TLDR: of all the park's E-ticket rides, MK is far and away your best bet at scoring extra FPs.

If your Fast Passes are early you could look at getting some of the 2nd tier ones that have decent wait times in the afternoon. Jungle Cruise, Haunted Mansion come to mind. Waits often creep up over 30 minutes for them. Buzz Space Spin is also in this category.

Now if looking for say the Mountains, in late May we got BTMR shortly after 8 PM for a FP+ time of 10-11. IT was a decent size crowd day also.

As far as the other parks, on a somewhat busy day it could help with Mission Space and maybe Spaceship Earth at EPCOT. Hollywood Studios you would have a good chance of Star Tours and that would be a help. Maybe a late showing of the Frozen Sing along.

At AK, if it is busy, Dinosaur, Prime Whirl and possibly FOTLK.

Time of year and crowd levels are all important factors.

When we were there in May the only things in MK that weren't available were 7DMT, Peter Pan, the parades, Wishes and the popular Meet and Greets. I think the only Meet and Greet that came up available was Tinkerbell. All the other rides were still available at least into the early evening.

At HS, TSM was definitely gone and I can't really recall ToT because we don't ride it. Rockin' Roller Coaster and most of the shows were available. Including Fantasmic, which I grabbed an hour before the show.

Epcot don't expect Soarin', Test Track, or Illuminations.

At AK I seem to recall still having a pick of most options. We did an extra with Kali and Dinosaur. We'd already done EE though so not sure about that one.

Most headliners, especially outside of MK, will be gone.

Thanks very much everyone! Tomorrow after midnight is my time to schedule my FastPasses... I'm mostly worried about Magic Kingdom and still being able to get on Pirates of the Caribbean, Little Mermaid and Jungle Cruise after my first FastPasses are all gone.

I was there three weeks ago and was able to get MSEP as my 4th FP+. There was a lot available, except for Anna/Elsa and Mine Train.

Last November, Thursday before Thanksgiving, there were decent size crowds............we walked into HS around 4pm and asked what was available. We jokingly asked for RNR and the cast member laughed and said, "probably not but we can try". We scored 4 FP+ for RNR starting 5 minutes after we arrived. So we just walked right over to the ride and got on! It's always worth asking, you never know what will open up! (Our first 3 FP+ were used at MK earlier in the day)

Our extra FP+'s the times we used them on our last trip were Dinosaur, Festival of the Lion King, Space Mountain, and Peter Pan. We didn't use any in Epcot or DHS.
