FP order question- ST related

[LiamandMaeve]

We will be at DLR from the 27th-29th of July. I know getting a FP for ST will be #1 on our priority list first thing in the morning, but I am not sure where to go next. We are not interested in SM. We would like to ride Indy, 2 out of 4 of us will be riding Splash, and again 2 of 4 will be riding BTMRR. DD and I don't do rollercoaster type rides.

Anywho, with the mad dash and waits associated with ST and with the possibility that the next FP window won't be up until 10:00 or so after we get the ST FP....
what FP should I get next: Indy or Splash? I know both are popular rides with high demand. Will there still be FPs available for either at this point in the day? From my understanding BTMRR FPs last a bit longer, so I am not worried about that one as of yet. I'm mostly concerned that the wait for FP collection at ST will put us behind the 8 ball so to speak.

Thanks for your help!

Generally if you skip Space, a nicer ride in DL BTW, Indy is the obvious #2 FP to collect. But certainly Spalsh is a close #3. But since it sounds like everyone is going to ride Indy make that #2 then ride JC, POTC and HM and you should be able to get another FP.

Just be aware after getting the ST FP, you may not be able to get one for an hour because it seems that the FPs are going quickly right away in the am and that is making the return window advance quickly.

I would do Indy second for several reasons.

I have seen Indy FPs go quickly ( but not as quickly as ST seems to be).
Indy breaks down a lot and when it does, FPs are not available to get, so better to try earlier.
Splash is in the back of the park and the FP machines are a little tricky to find so I'm just thinking they won't go as fast as IJ in the morning. And even if your return time is later morning or early afternoon, that's probably a better time to get wet anyway.

And then you may want to head over to DCA and pick up a Soarin FP at some point in the morning after DCA opens.
