MK rides with immediate 4th (and beyond) FP availability

[sleepymouse]

On our final day, we plan to open and close MK (9am- midnight). There will probably be some sort of break or possibility of leaving earlier than midnight, but this will be our last hurrah! I am going to schedule early FPs and then start hitting the kiosks at noon. I am hoping to get as many FPs as possible so am looking for ones with windows that start almost immediately. Does anyone know what rides/attractions are most likely to have immediate FP availability in the afternoon? If it makes a difference, this will be a Wednesday mid/late-August. If this has already been discussed elsewhere, please point me in the right direction.

i've seen almost immediate (time frame starting in 5-10 minutes) FP+ times for buzz lightyear's space ranger spin, pirates of the caribbean, jungle cruise, its a small world, and under the sea~journey of the little mermaid when looking for a 4th and beyond FP+ in the early evening.

It totally depends on the crowd level that day, which is difficult to predict. There can be a big difference between mid and late August if you're before/after kids start going back to school. On our last trip (April) we did a MK Friday, easywdw predicted crowd level 5 but felt like 7-8 in the afternoon, the return times for 2nd tier rides like Buzz/PotC/HM/Pooh were 1-2 hours away, Mountains longer with Thunder being sooner than Splash/Space/PP. Our next MK day was Tuesday, predicted crowd level 4 but felt like 3. We got 15+ FP that day, lost count how many, mid to late afternoon everything was almost immediate, did Space Mountain with FP four times with return times 5-20 minutes away. We waited longer at the FP kiosks than on any ride.

Sounds like you have a good plan reserving your 3 FP+ before noon, then all you can do at that point is hit the kiosks and see what's available. We planned like crazy for our trip, the mornings were set in stone with FP+ reservations, then we would completely wing it in the afternoons.

I figure we will just do our best. We will have already hit MK several times throughout our trip so I am okay with winging it. The crowd level is predicted to be a 7 on August 19th (the day we plan to do this). I know some kids will already be back in school. The lowest crowd level at MK during our trip is supposed to be a 5 on Sunday the 16th. Maybe this is because of evening EMH the night before (?)

Thanks. These are several of the rides I planned to try it with.
