MK rides that don't need FP+s

[WinnieAndMinnie17]

Hey guys, kind of disney veteran but haven't traveled with more then 2 people before at the MK. Going with 6 this time, we have FP+ for SM, HM, and PP. I did them all between 10am and 12pm, so with that logic i can log back in and get more after our last one is scanned in. What rides do you think will be there? Gave up on 7DMT because I already was able to get it as a FP before the Christmas party on 11/8. I am going to the MK on 11/6 if that matters! Any help is appreciated, just trying to make a gameplan of what I should expect to wait in line for. Family wants to ride BTMRR, pirates, jungle, small world, winnie and maybe meet a few characters.

A lot depends on weather, crowds, and just random luck. The easiest 4th FP will be some of the high crowd Fantasyland attractions like Philarmagic, IASW, and Little Mermaid that could have multiple timeslots to book. Some FP's that may be trickier, but can be achieved are Splash Mountain, Buzz Lightyear, and Pirates to name a few. Splash will have better FP results on a mild day for example. You may see FP's for around 1-2 hrs later, but keep refreshing as new ones constantly pop up even for FP's that start 5 minutes from when you were searching.

In addition, I have received 7DMT as a sixth FP before so it is possible to still get the headliners. Just remember to keep checking, book desired FP to at least keep it in your MDE, and keep refreshing for better times if necessary.

One of our favorite attractions at MK is the carousel of progress. It’s a classic! It doesn’t take FPs and you don’t ever have to wait long. It’s the perfect thing to do when it’s crowded and you can use a rest. You get to sit in a comfy seat with air conditioning for 20 mins and just relax and enjoy.

We also like going to philharmagic when it’s crowded and we want to escape the heat and lines. Not usually much of a wait for that one either. They take FPs but I don’t think you ever need one for that.

Country bears and hall of presidents are other classics that are great and don’t take FPs. You pretty much just wait for the next show.

I've consistently gotten Winnie the Pooh, Space Mountain, Little Mermaid, Haunted mansion, Buzz, Pirates and even Peter Pan as 4th+ FP's. I haven't had much luck with Big Thunder though.

I think BTMRR will be your toughest 4th FP. I usually don't FP IASW as it usually has a short standby at some point as does LM. I've had pretty good luck with POTC as a 4th as well as JC. JC standby seems to shorten significantly after dusk. I've found Pooh to be a little tricky for a 4th too. Results may vary, this is just my "typical" experience.

Yeah, I was planning on doing tomorrowland at RD and knocking those rides out. Buzz is one of my favorite rides and we always knock it out first! I usually BTMRR is usually only a 30 minute wait during the parade so I think I will try to get that in there. Also have it as a FP for the party day but I love this ride haha.
