FP+ advice for Nov trip

[Lisa LSR]

Hi, I can't possibly sit and read through over 150 pages, and I'm trying to nail down a plan so I can be organized when I sit down to make my fp+ choices. Please help me with a few questions!

1) Is it true that if I pick Wishes, or Fantasmic as a FP+ choice, I will be given a 4th choice?

2) I've heard that most of the FP+ choices are gone by the afternoon, so it's almost impossible to get more after you've used your 3 morning fpasses. Is this correct?

3) If #2 is correct, what's the best strategy? Make afternoon selections, and hope to avoid long early morning lines? Obviously certain rides you take when you get them, like TSMM?

Thank you so much for any help!

Good review thread.

As for your number 2, as long as attractions are available, you can book 4th and beyond.

We're going at the same time!
I can't answer #1 but I'm hoping that since crowd levels will be lower for most of our week (4s as opposed to the current 9s) that we will be able to obtain additional FPs.
My plan is still to schedule FPs for the morning. We'll aim for rope drop and use our FP at the end of the first FP return time, so if it's a FP for 9-10am, we'll do standby for a couple of rides and plan to go into the FP line around 9:45. Hopefully when we finish our FPs around 12:30 we can schedule more. If we get to the ride & don't need the FP because the standby line is short I'll try to switch them on my phone. I think it's the best plan for us. Good luck!

I just made (and then canceled) a fastpass selection which included Wishes. I was not offered a 4th choice.

If you're talking about the thread that Dan linked, the most important information is in the first post (which is kept updated when things change.)

1. You can book 3 FPs. You can't get a fourth until you've used the first three or the times for them have expired.

2. Not true, however really popular ones like TSMM, Soarin' and 7DMT most likely will be.

3. That's the debate - don't book FP for the first couple of hours when standby lines are shorter and having less to choose from for fourth (or more) FP, or book early and have potentially more choices for later FP.
