Think they would tell us FP+ we are all picking?

With the added FP+ now after you use your third I wonder if they would be nice enough to tell me who has picked what FP+ on certain days before we go? :rotfl2:

I only bring this up because now I have to decide to gamble or not. We are rope drop guys so I have booked mine for mid-day or evening. Now do I gamble at MK. I know I have picked BTMR, Buzz, and Splash for June. Might change Buzz when a certain coaster comes online. But do I gamble away my evening FP+ times? I mean I know I have them but I am scared to push them up early and then to many people are using the same ones. Then I have messed up my evening. Darn you Disney giving me more.....:confused3

I will have a good time....I will have a good time....I will...I know it....:)
 
Any nights we will be at a park, I will make fast passes for that time - this is because most likely it will be the most crowded park of the day.

We will be at MK one night when it's open until 10 or 11, so I will make all our fast passes after 7 or so. If we arrive before that, we will take our chances with stand-by, take pictures, eat....

When a park closes early evening, then I may gamble and make fast passes early in the day and try for 4th, 5th, etc...
 
Yeah we are there and on one of our MK days we are going to high EMH and then rest mid-day. Go back that evening and they are open until 12. I have FP+ for like 7, 8 ,9 and then just hope for the late evening and parade thin out for some of our favorites.

That is the though part of them extending FP+ just don't know what is being used. Especially at MK.
 
If you have your tickets linked, which I assume you do since you already have your prebooked FPs picked, can you go into today, for example, and see what is there in MK using the Select Option, but don't go through with it so you don't lose a day that you already planned? Just curious if that's an option. If it is, it might be worth keeping an eye on things to see if it's worth changing your plans. Now this assumes that what you see on the app is what people are seeing when they are there.

That's a really good idea.

To the OP, I have booked our FP's pretty much the way you have. It looks like we structure our days in a similar way and I've decided to leave ours as they are. There are some days when we are doing a second park or non park activities and weren't planning to FP anything in the evening anyway, and those days I have them booked for earlier in the day - late morning to around lunch time. Most days I have them booked back to back so that we aren't tied to times schedules for more than 2 hours or so at any given point of the day. I'm willing to stick with what I have unless there is some huge revelation that my plans are terrible. I know the times I've picked will save us time in line. I do not know at this stage what will be available at say 2 pm on June 27th at Epcot. Am I willing to take times that are less valuable time-savers or less convenient to us on a gamble in the hope that I might get a 4th that is useful to us? At this stage, no. I'm happy with what we have and keeping it unless new information leads me to strongly believe otherwise.
