Just curious. I will be scheduling my fast passes this Friday. I know the computer gives you a couple sets of options and you select one. After, you can attempt to change and fine tune your times, correct?

How successful have people been at narrowing times down to their "ideal"?

For instance, how likely am I to be able to get three times each day within a few minutes of 4:00 pm, 6:30 PM and 7:30 PM?

I know that for something like an A&E M&G I'll probably have to take whatever is offered, but otherwise how have people done fine tuning their times?

6. but otherwise how have people done fine tuning their times?

1. Correct.
2. Yes.
3. Some (who work at it) have been very successful.
4. Better than 50%, depending on, well, everything.
5. Yup.
6. Some (who work at it, and pick attractions that have availability at the times wanted) have been very successful.

Yes, that is correct.

I have been very successful, but alot depends on how far in advance you are booking, how flexibile you are with your ADRs, on-site vs off-site, what you are trying to book over how many days.

A FP+ for 4-5, 5-6 and 6-7 shouldn't be that hard, but then again all depends on what you are trying to get and how far in advance you are booking them.
 
Great, thanks for the feedback. I got 5:00 PM "on the dot" ADRs just about every day for our stay (10 days in a LK suite at AoA), so ideally I do a FP beforehand and then two after dinner, and I figure I'll schedule one at 6:30 if possible, as that gives me until 7:30 to ride, and then the next one right after.


Oh, and I'll be booking at 12:00 midnight exactly 60 days out. :)
 

Except for MK, I was extremely successful at fine tuning our FP+ to suit our needs/desires. It was tough at MK because we are considered "off-site" (Shades of Green), and we are a party of 9. We got the attractions we wanted (including SDMT and A&E), but not all of the times were ideal, nor is the flow what I would have liked. But that will not stop us from having fun!
