HS/MK in same day FP question

[FSUSammy]

I'm trying to figure out our FP situations since our window opens up really soon. There is one day where we want to go to HS in the morning and MK at night. Would it be smarter to get FP's for MK instead of HS especially if we are going to HS on an EMH morning?

Personally, I would fp for HS in the morning and do rolling FP at MK at night. We were there Friday and I saw FP for everything except Mine Train to be had with some refreshing-even multiple Peter Pan and Space Mountain.

IMO it depends on what all you want to do at HS. If you want to do the new stuff I would definitely FP there.

We will be there at the beginning of June so unless they happen to have some special preview for DVC members we will miss seeing any of the new stuff.

The consensus seems to be to book in the morning and get additional FP+ at your second park. Especially now that you can book rolling FP on your phone. Last trip you couldn't get additional FP on your phone so I did all FP for my PM park. Next trip I'm taking the new advice and booking for our first park of the day. Especially with MK as your PM park, which has so many rides, there seems to be a lot more availability for same day FP at MK.

It totally depends on how many attractions you want to do at HS. If you can knock everything out at HS during EMH and the first 1-2 hours the park is open, then I'd do your FP at MK. If you're wanting to do more at HS, then I'd do your FP at HS in the morning and hope for the best for rolling FP in the afternoon.

I'll add in a 3rd option -- schedule only 1 FP at HS and as soon as you tap in, go ahead and schedule your remaining 2 for later in the day at MK. We do this often at Epcot as we really only need 1 FP for that park when we go at rope drop (for either Test Track or Soarin', whichever we don't go to first). This strategy just lets you have a better selection of same day FP at MK since you're selecting them early in the day.
