Selecting FPs when you have multiple experience FPs

[Mrspeaks]

My fast pass scheduling day is coming up and I have a good problem to have - we were issued 7 FPs for the fantasy land attractions included in EMM because it was canceled. I’m struggling to know how best to plan and book our 3 scheduled FPs. I realize this is a an ideal situation and probably will be our best magic kingdom day ever, I just can’t rap my head around how to maximize it. Our party includes my DDs 7 and 4. We ride everything except space Mountain and Haunted Mansion.

We will rope drop at 7:00 for an 8:00 opening. I’m thinking about hitting the 90th birthday meet and greet first because I don’t want to use a fp on that and I don’t also want to wait for it later in the day.

I’m also thinking I’d like to schedule our FPs early to try for additioal scheduled FPs. We will use a lot of those multiple experience FPs on mine train, Pooh and Peter Pan.

Thoughts on what you would do if in the same situation?

Thanks

I would use your FP for other rides but the rides you have your FP for. Like BTMRR jungle cruse. HM. I too do my fast pass starting about an hour after the park opens

Agree with above poster and would book them at 9, 10 and 11 so that when you have used them you can book more later

Hmmmm, I think your timing of 9, 10, 11 is your best bet.

With all of the anytimes you have, plus not needing Space or HM, it's going to be interesting figuring out exactly how to book your FPs.

If you start with Mickey and Minnie at 8, I'd probably hop over and do Tink if you want to since you're right there. Then, head up to do JC and PotC standby before a 9am Splash, 10am BTMRR combo around 9:45ish.

Do you want to do Enchanted Tales or meet Ariel? If so, go standby one of them, use the third prebooked FP on the other, and start refreshing for Barnstormer, Dumbo, Speedway, and Buzz as your additional pickups. You can use the various anytime FPs in between waiting out the delay before your additional pickups are ready to use.

I'm not sure if you were looking for that level of detailed suggestion, but I'm a ridiculously detailed person

Whatever you decide - make sure and use your pre-booked FP+ during the exact window and don't take advantage of the grace period before or after! If you do the system will use one of your anytime FP+ instead.

That would be true if they were anytime, any experience FPs.

The way OP says he was given anytimes for the EMM rides, I got the impression that they are specifically an anytime PP, an anytime 7dmt, an anytime Princess, etc. In that case, he'd only have to worry about the grace if he prebooked a FP that he also has an anytime for.

I’m glad you posted because I have the same “problem.” So as far as we know the extra ones shouldn’t interfere with the normal 60 day FP process, right?

I don’t think they would interfere.

Maybe - but the OP called them multiple experience FP so I thought the information may be helpful.

You're right. Title says multiple experience, text says they are for the FL rides included in the EMM. If they really are 7 any experience in the park FPs, that would change what I'd plan to use them for.

Thanks for the advice. I went to with a 9:10 big thunder, we have a 10:00 Crystal Palace ADR, then 11:15 splash and 12:25 Enchanted Tales with Belle. I think we will rope drop at the EMH Meet Mickey and Minnie

THIS!! When I got the anytime FP because SE went down the night before at EPCOT, my son and I decided we would use it for Belle's Enchanted Tales the next day at MK. Well because of how I timed out our rides before hitting Buzz first thing, I was worried! We did Standby on PP and it was about 30-40 minutes. We then did IASW. By the time we finished with those we walked over to Buzz and arrived about 7 minutes before the 15 minute grace period would have kicked in. The FP line for Buzz was THE longest FP line I saw while we were there a couple weeks ago. I kept looking at my phone praying we would hit the Mickey head before the grace period happened....and we did! With about 3 or 4 minutes to spare!
