Priority When Making FP+ Reservations

[jeffg4]

My question is regarding FP+ priority when my 60-day window opens. Assuming I want the best choice of FPs, what do I go after first? The earliest park day or the most popular attractions?

For example, assume our planned park days are as follows:

Sat - Check-in
Sun - AK
Tue - MK
Wed - EP
Sat - HS

If I understand correctly, I can reserve FPs for the entire week as soon as the window opens at 7 AM 60 days prior to my Saturday check-in. So do I start by reserving AK FPs because it is the nearest day, or do I combine all parks by starting with the most popular FPs (SDMT, FEA, etc.) and going back-and-forth between parks until all 12 have been reserved?

I would prioritize the most popular attractions, then anything time specific (like wanting an early evening Safari timed before a Tusker House dinner or whatnot), then would fill in the gaps from the first day onward.

When I made mine, I prioritized by what would be the most difficult to get (Frozen at EPCOT, for example). Then I did attractions that were new to me (my "must do").

You can tweak your times after you make the initial reservation to make your schedule more do-able based on any tours or ADRs you may have already booked. Up to a point that is... 2 weeks after I made my FP+ for Frozen, they have no available times to change to.

Prioritizing booking and then filling in the remaining FP slots is what works for those who know they can skip around when their FP window opens.

You'll have a slight advantage over those who are booking day by day.
