Booking Epcot FPs...when to try for FEA?

[maranara]

I'm getting close to my FP window and could use some advice. We're planning on being in EPCOT on Monday (1/30) and Saturday (2/4) - our first park day and our last park day of the trip. Am guessing that at the 60 day mark it will be hard to get a FEA FP on either day...which would you try for? I'm totally new to the FP system - any advice would be great! THANKS!

Try for FEA on 2/4 and book and confirm.

Then, switch date to 1/30 and book FEA for that date.

After that, book according to ride priority rather than by day.

Thanks! I didn't even think about how I was going to book the rest - I assumed I would do 1 day at a time like I did for the ADRs. I'm assuming you mean ride priority for our family vs. ride priority by how fast FPs go? FEA is the only one I'm nervous about - we're doing EMM at Magic Kingdom, so I don't have to worry about Mine Train. Am guessing that the rest iwll be fine to book at the 60 day mark?

@maranara ~ priority as to what is important for your family to ride. Book priorities first and then fill in the rest of your FPs.

You shouldn't have any trouble getting one. I was able to get a FP for FEA for the week before Christmas at 60 days out, and that's a pretty busy week! They only had evening availability but that was fine with me. Do a little bit of planning to figure out what the ideal time would be for you, and then try for both days and pick the day with the time that works best.

I had no trouble getting a fp+ for FEA for whatever time I wanted 60 days out; going on 1/18.

I just booked FEA for the second day of my reservation (1/18)- there were a ton of times still available. I wouldn't worry- I think the slower time means availability will be high.
