OP, I booked a trip for just DH and I last Friday, leaving Saturday. Less than 24 hrs before! I was able to get some good fast passes for the parks 2-3 days before hand but not the day of or even the day before. I was surprised because there were only 2 of us and the crowd levels were between 1-3. For example, we got Jungle Cruise and Pirates but couldnt get Splash, BTMRR, PP or Space. I did get lucky and snagged FOP by refreshing constantly a few days before our AK day. We had the best trip without all that planning. TS dining was so easy. I think because Food and Wine was going on but we walked into Via Napoli and 50's at the height of lunch and were sat right away.
