My vacation is less than two weeks away! In my opinion, I have some pretty awesome Fastpasses given that we will have a toddler with us and can utilize the rider switch option. However, I am looking for suggestions on what we might do as our fourth Fastpass on some days. Keep in mind that on most days, we won't be finished with our original ones until around 3:00ish. Would love to hear your comments and or suggestions! Or are there any can't miss attractions that don't have a Fastpass?

As for can't miss attractions that don't have FP+, that's probably a matter of what you like. For example, we think the Pixar short films in Epcot are neat, and they don't need a FP+. Same with Living with the Land or Figment (they sometimes get lines, but often are nearly a walk on). In MK, our kids love the Peoplemover, Stitch, Laugh Floor, Small World, Tea Cups, Carousel, Carousel of Progress, Mickey's Philharmagic, etc...none of which usually need a FP+.

As for a 4th FP+, if you're a bit persistent with MDE, you can get almost anything for a 4th FP+
 
I am a pretty hardcore planner, but I never plan fastpasses after the original 3. It's just impossible to know what will be available. I just look on the app and take the next available fastpass for an attraction that we want to do.

We can easily get 12 to 15 extra fastpasses at MK, but we wouldn't be able to do that if we were actually planning them out.
 
On our trip in June, the "best" 4th FPs we got were TSM, Soarin', and Splash. Didn't try for a 4th at AK.
 

If I were you, and I were traveling between now and Aug. 13th, I'd get the 4th FP in HS for the Great Movie Ride.
In AK, I'd get one for the Safari...and I'd probably skip even looking for a 4th FP for Expedition Everest, because we just ride that as single riders, it's very fast to do that most of the time.
And in MK, I'd look for Peter Pan, but that one might be more difficult to get.

Really, if your group is willing to split up, you can probably get most anything you want, if you are flexible and keep refreshing. We never count on getting a 4th FP.
 
As others have said, you can get anything you want, with some effort: refreshing, looking for singles or smaller groups, modifying to get overlapping times, etc. The hardest to get are the Pandora rides, of course, but 7DMT and FEA are also tough.

TSMM and Soarin' are both easy to get as a 4th FP. Test Track and RnR are doable, but usually have less choice available. Tower of Terror is surprisingly hard to get as a 4th FP.

At MK, the hardest is 7DMT, followed by Mickey and the princess meets, then Peter Pan, then the three mountains. Everything else it pretty easy. We always do PoC and Buzz with additional FP.

If you are in Epcot or MK on an evening EMH day, additional fast passes are noticeably harder to come by.
