Likelihood of 4th FP in summer

[msdroz]

Just booked our FP for our mid June summer trip. We always start at one park, take a mid day break at the hotel then hop to a different park at night. This trip we took the strategy of booking FP for the morning park with the hopes that we could now book our 4th on our phone. With that said, my DS's favorite ride is Test Track...do you think that is one that has a chance of getting a same day, evening fast pass for? We had no problems doing that 2 years ago but wanted an updated point of view.

Thanks!

Better than a 49% chance.

how embarrassing... apparently a dumb question?

Not at all. I am less optimistic, and would put the odds lower. It is a very difficult question to answer with much confidence.

Not a dumb question. But the new "4th FP by app" feature just rolled out today. It's too soon to really know how that is going to change availability.

OK.
A less than 51% chance.

How's that?

Thanks for the link... I actually read through several of your other links but didn't see this one. Might have to rethink one of our days because that's one ride we don't want to miss and I'd rather not wait in stand by.
Thanks!

My opinion is not to count on it, sounds unlikely.

Not a stupid question at all

I dont think there's much chance at all you'd get one. Josh has a new post where he talks about 4th FP availability:

"Just about anything decent is going to have zero availability for that day even by 10:30am, particularly at Epcot and Hollywood Studios."
