Refreshing FPs when all gone for the day

I understand the concept of constantly refreshing to find hard to get FP. I have been doing this, as I read, by clicking the time buttons. But how do I do this if there are no time buttons to click on because all FPs are gone for the day?

Thanks
 
There may be another way, but I search until a time shows up for those rides. Take anything that shows up and then try to move it. That has worked for us.
 
Every single Fast Pass is gone? I've never seen that happen before. There is always something available, especially rides that don't need one

I'm not sure what you mean. When you go to pick up a FP+, or modify an existing one, across the top there should be a scrolling bar of time choices. It'll start with Morning/Afternoon/Evening (unless it's already past that part of the day) and then the current half hour you're in and every subsequent 30 minutes. Click on one and it will show you what FP+ is available for the different attractions, or what alternate times are available for that attraction. If the attraction has none left, it'll be at the bottom and say that there are no more, but you can do standby. This picture is from my PC, not my phone, but it looks similar...the only real difference is that instead of being a drop down box on the right that says "Select a Time", there's 30 minute intervals...9:30am, 10:00am, etc...you just swipe to get to them. If you're not getting this, then something is wrong with your app.

This has come up for me a few times. I have been on the hunt for a FOP FP. I do believe it is a glitch in the system, but I do sometimes gets the "all Fastpasses are gone for this day" message. I know that's not true, so I back out of the App and reload, and sure enough there are FPs, just not for FOP...yet!

If you mean all FPs for all rides are gone for the day, then I don't know how to answer except to keep closing the app and reloading it. Seems like that must be a glitch?

But if you're referring to only the hard-to-get FP being unavailable, we just keep backing out of the screen and choosing different things like "evening" or else a specific time. Sometimes we'll close the app and reload it. It requires a fair amount of patience, lol. We did this one night at MK standing next to 7DMT and it finally showed up for the current time frame so we snagged it and jumped in the FP line.

Sorry everyone, I clearly didn't make much sense and explain it possibly! This is exactly what I mean (not "all FPs gone for all rides all day"). I'm using my iPhone with this so, being more specific, I've decided to keep trying for NRJ FPs for the day we are going to AK by refreshing etc as everyone says it's worth trying for. All other rides are showing FP options throughout the day - I know I can change these options by changing the time along the top or I can book them, then hunt for a change of time by modifying. But, this is exactly what it is saying for NRJ at the bottom of the list, so there is no way of booking it and modifying it by finding a different time. What I want to know is how do I keep refreshing it if there are no FPs available for that ride
 
Actually, I think I might have answered my own question while writing it!! I do that a lot on here - it's very embarrassing!

I guess I just have all the options of times for all the rides up and just refresh using the time buttons along the top. If, by chance, one of those options that pops up happens to be for NRJ then it will change from the "nothing available all day" to an option to pick.

Sorry if I'm still not making sense, but I think it does in my mind now!!

Correct. If all the other attractions appear at the top with different time options, but NRJ (and FOP) appears at the bottom and says there are none left, then that means there's nothing available for that one attraction. The way to keep checking is to refresh and/or just pick a different time at the top of the screen. If NRJ happens to become available, it'll show up in the list of available FP+. Just one suggestion...if it does show up, grab it...fast. It won't stay there for long.
