Fastpass Plus: any tips?

[V2000]

The time is getting so close to book my fastpass! I am in California so what time to I have to wake up to book them? I am not sure what time in the morning fastpass opens.

I am also concerned about the Frozen ride in Epcot. We are going to Epcot on the second day of our stay and I really don't want to change that. Do you think I will have a chance getting a pass booking 60 days out?

So, I will going to all 4 parks. Any tips on which rides/shows to choose and which not to choose because it's not needed?

You can book fastpasses at 7:00 am eastern (4:00 am Pacific.)

FP+ opens at 7 AM Eastern on the day you are 60 days out from your check-in date if staying on site. If you are making your FP+ selections at that time, I see no reason why you won't be able to get your Frozen FP+ on the day you want. There is a forum all about FP+ on there that will probably answer a lot of questions you may have. From what I've seen, there are a whole lot of different theories and preferences as to what works best. Personally, I like to book mine for early afternoon, choosing to ride standby in the morning when it tends to be less crowded. I usually have my FP+ for between about 2 and 5 or 6. I ride standby before, use up my first 3 in the afternoon, which then allows me to see what I can fine one at a time in the evening. I don't use them for shows, especially night time ones like Fantasmic or Illuminations, because then that ties up my ability to get additional ones for rides in the evening. In my experience, getting a decent spot for the nighttime shows/fireworks can be done without FP+ and without having to sit and reserve a spot hours in advance.

Is it worth it to get a fastpass for the Disney Festival of Fantasy Parade at MK?

I don't think so, but other people do. I prefer to watch the parade in Frontierland. It's easy to find a nice, shady spot there. The FP location is hot and in the full sun.
