Please share your strategies for 4th fp and so on and so forth.

Not sure when you go, but our experience is quite the opposite. With limited exceptions (FEA and 7DMT being the biggest ones), we very rarely have issues getting worthwhile FP+ for 4th, 5th, etc... We've gotten RnR, TSMM, BTMRR, Splash, Space, TT, Soarin', etc...

I can attest to this. My DH and I just returned from 8 days at WDW. After I had used our three FP+, I had little to no trouble getting a fourth FP+ for nearly anything else I wanted, including all those mentioned by this poster. I admit I didn't try for FEA because that ride just isn't that important to me. And, yes, we were a party of only two. The key is constant repeated refreshing of the MDE app. At 7:30 one evening, I got an 8 PM FP+ for Test Track, we rode TSM three times one afternoon, and we did Soarin' twice in an afternoon - all after our first three FP+ had been used and when the app was saying that there were no more FP+ for those rides. Never take that as the final word. Just keep refreshing the app for the ride you want. If a time should pop up that you don't want, take it anyway and then try to modify it. I seemed to have more success when I took a time that I didn't want and then kept trying to modify it for a time a did want. It can be amazing to see the different times that will appear and then disappear as you keep refreshing. One evening, we had a FP+ for FEA for 5:15, and I really wanted it to be a little earlier. I refreshed about a jillion times, or so it seemed, and I got 4:30. After I had checked in for that FP+ and while I was in line, I tried for Soarin' and got it for 5:15. After that, I got Test Track. It takes a good deal of persistence with the refreshing, but we're living proof that it can be done.

I agree, but recognize that it very much depends on when you travel to WDW. On high crowd days all of those FP+ could be booked before you even enter the parks. It also depends on your group size. Easy to get them for 1 or 2 people - harder to do for larger groups.

You can always try picking up one or two at a time that have an overlap in window. We do this sometimes.

Wow!!! That's awesome!

For Epcot, all the good rides are in tier one. If I to book my first 3 fp first thing in the morning, and hope to get the 4th pf for tier 1 ride right after chrck in for the third ride, which one of the tier 1 rides would have availablity as thr 4th fp ride?

We haven't had much like finding a useful 4th FP, but I have used MDE to book a fourth right after getting in line for my 3rd. The issues I have with that is trying to look at the phone while navigating a line. I have crashed into people/walls etc, and had people walk smack into me while doing this. It's annoying for those on both sides of the bump.

This is so me! I am so not a multi-tasker! Last year I tried while I was on the ride Under the sea and totally missed everything on the ride.

We go in summer so even the leftovers can have lines so I'll book the additional FPs for whatever we have next or so on the plan....

We FP the popular rides we do not want to miss as early as we can. If the lines are short - we will ride multiple times.
Then as soon as we scan the third FP, we get on the app and find a 4th, then a 5thm and so on.
Last summer at MK, we hit a 21st FP before having to check in for the Wishes dessert party - great day!!
Then got 2 more after the party!

LOL - Yeah, we were there the day after New Year this year and the standby for Small World was over an hour. At those times, any FP+ is valuable, not just the headliners.

4th FP+ is my favorite! A week ago we were in Animal Kingdom. I had my third fastpass scheduled for EE around 1:30. Right after I scanned in, went on the app and found another FP for 10 minutes later! WE DID THIS THREE TIMES. We ended up riding EE 4 times in a row simply on FPs. Zero wait.
