rope drop and FP+ questions

[sammyo]

Hello again--

Trip planning for Nov. 21-25.

My wife and I have been to WDW several times, but have never used the FP+ system. Now that I have booked a few FP+, I have a pretty good understanding of the process. I do have a question regarding morning and afternoon FP----I have booked three FP for MK in the morning---after those FP expire or are used, I can book one at a time for later in the day, at a different park if I want? I am correct in thinking only booking singles after the first three?

On our past trips we are usually good to get to the parks at rope drop--not necessarily right at the front. For example at MK we usually knock out PPF, WTP, IASW, HM, BTM and maybe a couple others before noon. Should our expectation of doing this change much with the advent of FP+? I am thinking do I "waste" three FP for MK morning or book something for the evening. We most likely will not do Space or Splash. Also, if DMTwe are in the first wave of people to enter MK at rope drop, if we quickly make our way to 7DMT, should we expect much of a wait? We walk faster than most. Then back to the old standbys as noted above.

Also, would the same apply at the other parks--TSM, Muppets and LM at HS; TT, SE, Crush, Figment, and the Land at Epcot; and Safari, Dinosaur, IABL at AK?

Thanks for your input. (as a side note, I have read the long post regarding the use of FP+ and found that helpful)

Yes you can book additional FP+ (one at a time) after you have used your first FP+'s but you can only book ones for the park you are currently in. I don't think that you can book them for another park and then hop over to that park.

We are a RD family as well and we would usually book our FP+ for later in the day as we could knock off most rides with minimal waits in the morning and then still have our 3 FP's for after our mid day break.

We were there right before 7DMT opened so we did not have to deal with the challenge of that ride so I am not sure how it is at RD for wait times.

Have a great trip!!

I am thinking go with the early morning no FP and book the evening FP---we do a few hours morning, back to resort for a few hours, then back to a park early evening. I know in the past evening lines are "long" by our standards and we usually end up skipping rides, etc.

We are taking our eleven year old niece for her first visit and want to maximize our time, but not be rushed.

Thanks.
