Hi - we are arriving on a Saturday and staying for a week. If I'm trying to get Slinky Dog on Tuesday and FoP on Wednesday - which should I try to schedule first? Is one harder to get than the other, or is it best to just go in order of the week and try for Tuesday's first? I'll be sure to be logged in by 7. Fingers crossed I'll get them both!
 
In Oct 2018 I got a FoP in the evening of day 60 + 5 and in the AM at 60 + 8. For Slinky we had to go out to 60 + 9 for an AM. I started at the end and worked my way back, I would have taken either of the AM ones earlier in the week but none were available. Probably could have gotten Slinky in the PM at an earlier date but didn't try. We didn't try the refresh thing. Always 'Go Long' and work your way back.

You may have a tough time since you are way less than 60/30 days out.
If no FP available, you can rope drop each one.
 

I’d try for SDD first but be prepared not to get it, or at least not at a great time.
Then go for FoP. At +4, you’ll find something, probably starting late AM or early afternoon
Then fill in the rest of your trip as you want.
 
I had my FP+ day on Christmas day: arriving on a Sat. my SSD would be a Sunday & FOP a Monday. I went for FOP first coz I considered that it is a ride I'm gonna want to hop on a lot, as much as possible.. while, SSD is not that enticing. So I tried SSD second but there was no availability all day, so I'm guessing I might try to hop on that one first during the EMH or stand in line before park opens for all the guests at 9.
 
Well, in your situation I would go for FoP first then SDD, but that is because I have ridden both and FoP is MUST DO, while SDD isn't.
I would say SDD is also very easy to do by getting in line shortly before close. And it is more fun in the dark.

When we went last year over Labor Day weekend, we got in line at 9:47 for FoP on a 10PM closing night. Wait posted at 90 minutes, we were out in 70. SDD we got in line at 8:23 on a 8:30 closing night. Wait posted at 40 minutes, we waited 11.
