Clarification needed for additional FP

[Chrislovesdisney]

let’s say your LAST of your 3 FPs is at 1pm. That means it’s a 1-2pm window of use. Let’s say you scan into said attraction at 1:05. Can you then book any “available” additional FPs for any available time after 1:05, or will 2pm be your earliest option? Tia!

Once you scan FP #3 then anything goes in my experience. No time restrictions at all.

 

[Calee]

Yep. Also, after you use your first, you can modify your next one earlier if available.

Yep, once you scan for your last FP, it will show you any available times starting right then. It's pretty awesome to use a FP, get on MDE in line and get your next one for basically immediately after you get off the ride. It doesn't always happen, but it absolutely can!

Don’t forget that you have a 5 minute grace period at the start of your window. You can scan in at 12:55 then start refreshing immediately.

You may be able to find your next FP with a return time of 1:30 or even earlier. It just depends on what’s available.

As an example, we recently searched for a 4th MK FP at 11:30 and got a Peter Pan for 11:40.

Yes, as soon as you scan you can book the 4th, etc. I usually use all my time in the line modifying and refreshing my next one so I don’t have a long wait before my next FP.

If you aren't going to use your last FP, before wanting to get another, be sure to scan it at the FP entrance. There have been instances where people let the FP expire, which should open the window to get more, but the previous FP stays in the system and won't let you book another one.
As others have said, as soon as you tap in for the 1st FP, try modifying the others if you can and move them up.

Something else along these lines
If one of your first 3 FP gets converted to an anytime because the ride is down during your FP window you will need to book another FP to replace it. Otherwise the system thinks you've only booked 2
Seems obvious but I didn't pick up on that one trip and couldn't for the life of me figure out why I couldn't book my 4th FP. Really only an issue when you are dealing with tiers and want to book another tier 1
