Decided to go for 4 nights in mid June. I've never planned a trip with such short notice! Will securing FPs for the most possible attractions be next to impossible. Any tips or strategies?
 
I wouldn't consider 6+ weeks away "last-minute."

Think of all the people who book their FPs 30 days out. You will be fine, except things like FOP and SDD.

Most possible, or do you mean most popular? Mine Train only has evenings available as far out as June 22nd. Afternoons are available on June 23rd. As I clicked on even later dates, it's mornings here, afternoons there, and evenings more often than not. When they extend the hours this Friday, you may have a better opportunity to grab those headliners. So keep an eye out that Friday, Saturday, and Sunday to see what FPs look like. SDD is unavailable till July 6th. So you may do better with that one on the day of. FoP is unavailable till July 3rd. Again....when they extend hours, that could very well change for SDD and FoP. I'm not interested in either of those rides, so someone else may be able to help more. I would grab some of your other favorites for now and then modify those once the hours extend on Friday for the better FPs. GOOD LUCK!
 
Yes--definitely meant "popular."

I'm used to having many, many months to plan a trip, so this is very last minute to me!
 

We booked less than 60 but greater than 30. Just got back last week. It helps that it was a slower time, but was still able to get FP for everything we wanted, including FOP, SDD, and SDMT. Modify to get better times. I think my initial 3 were all at 7pm or later. With modifying, was able to get 3PM for all but SDD (ended up dropping because we got EMM that day, and no way my kids were going to last til the end of the day after being up at 6am)!
