FP + late in the day availabilty

[Tex]

One day our plan is to visit Epcot in the morning and Hollywood Studios in the evening.
HS has EMH until midnight that night.
I have FP+ booked for HS.
Now I'm reconsidering changing them to Epcot and trying to get additional FP+ for HS later in the day.
Do you think there will be FP+ available? We want all the headliners.
I'm afraid there wont be any left for late in the day and I'll be waiting hours for TSM.
Has anyone done this recently? advice? thank you.

Bump! We are arriving this Saturday when HS will be packed because of SWW. We currently have FP+ for ST, RnRC and ToT that are back to back from 12:30 - 3pm. What are our chances of a 4th FP+ for TSM? Or should I switch the Tier 1 from RnRC to TSM and get the 4th FP for RnRC?

If you want all of the headliners in Epcot and HS, keep your FP+ at HS.

By going there on an EMH night you are subjecting yourselves to a non recommended park, higher crowd levels and longer waits.

Your best bet would be to arrive to Epcot before rope drop and head to Soarin at park opening, ride standy then head to Test Track and ride single rider. After that, head to Sum of All thrills, then other secondary attractions you may want to do. (Mission Space, Turtle Talk, Spaceship Earth).

Start walking to the World Showcase before 11 am and do Maelstrom as close to 11 am as possible. Then grab lunch (either somewhere there, at one of the Epcot restauraunts or when you get to Hollywood Studios.

Have your afternoon FP+ set up for Toy Story, Tower of Terror and Great Movie ride. Star Tours loads pretty fast and Rock n Roller Coaster has a single rider line. If the lines at Tower of Terror are really long all night, wait until just before park cosing and get in line at 11:59 pm.

Thanks for all the great info, LSUfan, very helpful. Oh how I wish you could have 3 FP+ at each park pre-booked.

Epcot at rope drop till midnight at hollywood studios is a long day and you will be able to get ALOT done. But arriving to epcot before they open is paramount to avoid really long lines at soarin and test track.

Good luck at have fun.

Yes, LSUfan, we're crazy. We are staying at beach club, so getting to Epcot is easy. We'll ride the headliners and go to back to hotel after lunch. I should have made the trip longer, definitely regretting only having 3 days for parks. Oh well, can't change it now because we can't change the flights. My family has been many times, at least once a year, but we are taking 2 girls that have never been. Never. We know what we want to see and what to skip. But we haven't been with the new fp+ or magic bands. I just want the girls to have an amazing time.

I believe I have read somewhere that the main gate of Epcot opens maybe 10-15 mins early but the international gate does not. Anyone know if that is true. Only mention b/c assuming that is where PP will enter since saying at BC.
