FP Return Times at Opening?

[BalooHoo]

Do all of the rides have the same return time for FP when the park first opens in the morning? For example, will Peter Pan, Splash Mountain and Space Mountain all offer the same return time for the first FP issued that day?

Also, assuming no morning EMH, what is the usual return time for the first FPs issued? 9:30? 10:00? Something else? Thanks!

1- Pretty much so. There's no reason NOT to do that.
Guests can only pick ONE of those to FP first-thing, anyway.

2- Figure 9:40-10:05 (it can vary) and then beyond, as more FP's are given out.

Don't know about Peter Pan but you will be able to get right on Splash Mountain, Big Thunder Railroad and Space Mountain for the first hour or so. We rode them all twice with very little wait. That's the best reason to be there at rope drop. Then, if you want to ride again later, get FP's. By around noon, the FP time for Space Mountain was 9:30pm. We were there mid June 2010 on a Wednesday, which is supposed to be a level 6 day and I understand crowds are lower than normal this year.

We were there on Wed 16th and Wed 23rd and got fp's around 11:30 for return times of around 3:30 one day and 4:00 the other day.

Big Thunder the fp return time was only 40-45 minutes after you got the passes both days. Splash was over 2 hrs for return time. Peter Pan started with a return time of 10:05 to start the day, but they go quick. By early afternoon, the return times are for after 7 or 8. The PP fp's seem to me to typically go quicker that Space Mtn.

Thanks for your responses. My hope is to get a FP immediately at rope drop with a return time as early as possible so that I can get another FP as soon as possible. If I can get a FP with a return time around 9:40, then I can get another FP around 9:40. I don't plan to use the first one immediately at 9:40, but I want to be able to maximize how many I can get in the morning to save for the afternoon when it's more crowded. If they are all going to have roughly the same return times at opening, it sounds like it won't matter which one I go to first (unless it's something like TSM, where FPs go very quickly).
