I had all my plans set when I just found out yesterday that my son's band is now marching in the morning at MK instead of in the 3 pm parade. I had planned to RD Epcot and then head to MK so have all my fastpasses planned for late afternoon MK on 3/26,

So this takes out the one morning I had planned to RD Epcot. What rides can I likely get 4th FP on? On 3/24 I have my last FP at HS around 12:30. The rides I really want to go on are Soaring, TT, Spaceship Earth - next choices are The Land, Mission Space, Imagination pavilion. Doing Dessert party on 3/25 so will get to go on FEA with that.

I will be in Epcot again around 5 pm on 3/25. I could add in early afternoon 3/27 (an EMH day so will be crowded) after RD at MK and AK at night (going late just to see Pandora at night and Rivers of Light).

Another option is to move my MK fastpasses for 3/27 later and RD Epcot on that day. Also on 3/26 park hours are extended to 12 am at MK - so I could possibly do the rides after 10 pm I had originally planned for RD MK the next day.

FP Priorities from the FP+ FAQ Sticky: HERE.

I'd not worry about getting FP for attractions with lower priorities.

Future World attractions are in lower demand in the afternoon and evening,
as many guests will have moved on to World Showcase.

I’ve seen pretty good availability for TT and Soarin in the late afternoon with refreshing. I’ve seen them come up regularly even for a party of 5. But the last few days have been high crowd levels but not insane levels. If you’re going on 9 and 10 level days your experience may be different.

Yes they are 9-10 level crowds which is why I was counting on rope drop. Oh well, for this trip I am going with the attitude to go a bit more with the flow than my usual overplanning state :)
 

I was able to get a 4th FP in Epcot just before dinner time for Soarin' (party of 3) on NYE. Got a 5th for Frozen Ever After that evening. It really doesn't get any busier than NYE in Epcot.

Your chances are pretty good at getting some decent FPs with a little persistence. :)
 
I was also at Epcot at NYE. We didn’t get any extra FPs, but did see that there were a few available. You should be able to get at least a couple extra if you keep checking. That being said, we were able to get a lot done without extra FPs even though wait times seemed to be high. Just focus on doing your “must rides” and everything else will seem like a bonus!
