FP+ help for HS Star Wars Weekends

[klsurfer76]

I am struggling with fp+s for Friday May 15 at HS for Star Wars Weekends. We aren't interested in standing in lines for characters or celebrities, no character meals, merch, seminars, or even hitting all the other rides/attractions. Our must do's are Jedi Training Academy, Star Tours, maybe Padawan Mind Challenge (the age cut off is 11 and my son is 12. Do they ask the age at sign up?), the parade, Toy Story, Muppets, and fireworks. I'm using touringplans.com to make my own personalized plan and I have Star Tours (no FP+), Great Movie Ride(no FP+), and Toy Story(w FP+) projecting a less than 10 min wait first thing in the morning after JTA sign up. My current FP's are:

Toy Story 8:45-9:45, Which will for sure need and use
Star Tours 2:05-3:05, We may or may not want to ride again after our no FP morning ride
Muppets 4:10-5:10, Which we have in our plan around 2p with 5 min wait using no FP+

So, if I don't really need the last two fp's, should I just re-schedule them for ANYTHING earlier so that the times can expire sooner and I can choose a 4th FP for anything I want? The only ride we would like to ride multiple time is Toy Story and I hear that my 4th, 5th, and beyond FP's can be for any tier attraction. Or should I just keep my current FP+ selections and just CHANGE them for something else? I don't have access to the My Dis Exp app so I will need to go to the kiosks to change or add anything. Will the lines for the kiosks be pretty long historically on a Friday on the first day of SWWs? If so, it may not be worth it for me to stand in a kiosk line for more than 10 minutes.

If you took the time to read this or respond, thanks in advance. Your help is much appreciated!!!

I wonder about wait times and crowds on a SWW. I just expect the craziest crowds and longest lines as this is our first time for SWW too. I don't know that TSM will have FP+ available for your 4th 5th choice ect. I personally don't see the need for muppets the auditorium is large and if you know the wait will be minimal based on predictions put it to something earlier in the day. I wouldn't schedule for anything pick something you'd like and take advantage of it. I think lines everywhere including kiosks will be insane the first Friday of SWW. I would put my FP+ closer together though.

Thanks for your input memakwed! Since my last two fastpasses have to be in tier 2, there is really nothing else we would want to see or need to use. So I really don't know what to do with them. But I guess it doesnt matter because like you said, there probably wont be any fastpasses left for Toy Story as my 4th or 5th. Below I copied the choices for tier 2 and I described in parentheses our situation.
Tier 2

• Tower of Terror* (WE'RE NOT INTERESTED)
• Star Tours* (ALREADY RIDING IN THE MORNING W/O FP+)
• Voyage of the Little Mermaid* (NOT INTERESTED)
• For the First Time in Forever: A "Frozen" Sing-Along Celebration* (NOT INTERESTED)
• MuppetVision 3D (FP NOT REALLY NEEDED DUE TO LOW WAIT SHOW TIMES)
• Disney Junior – Live on Stage (NOT INTERESTED)
• Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular! (FP NOT REALLY NEEDED, WE ALREADY HAVE PLANS TO SEE THIS AND ARRIVE EARLIER THAN SHOWTIME TO GET A SEAT)
• Lights, Motors, Action! Extreme Stunt Show (FP NOT REALLY NEEDED, WE ALREADY HAVE PLANS TO SEE THIS AND ARRIVE EARLIER THAN SHOWTIME TO GET A SEAT)
