What E-Ticket Fastpasses are available same day early afternoon?

[33Legend]

My FP day is coming up on Wednesday. I thought it might be useful to know what fastpasses people have seen available on the same day AFTER their original 3 picks have been used up. Essentially what E-Ticket attraction FP could still be available in the noon - 2 pm range. It could affect what I initially choose if I know there is a chance it could be around early afternoon.

We will at WDW from Nov. 10-19

Any chance that any of these are available same day early afternoon:

MK: Space Mt, 7 Dwarves, Splash Mt, Thunder Mt.

Epcot: Soarin, Frozen, Test Track

DHS: Slinky Dog, Toy Story Mania, Tower of Terror, Rock N Roller Coaster

AK: Flight of Passage, Everest

Any insight would be great. Thanks much!

Usually when I tapped in at a park kiosk in the 12-2PM timeframe to book a 4'th fastpass none of the above were available for the rest of the day.

I did see Tower of Terror, Expedition Everest, and Thunder Mountain available for somewhat later in the day at least once each.

A fluke could happen at any moment;. Someone else might cancel or change out of a Fastpass you wanted a moment before you tapped in resulting in a fastpass for a ride y ou really wanted and maturing in less than 2 hours showing up on the kiosk screen ready for your picking.

At magic kingdom it was usually buzz, jungle cruise, barnstormer, little mermaid, pirates, Pooh, it’s a small world, and maybe enchanted tales.

I’ve never seen any of the big ones.

I’ve gotten soarin, but it was later in the day, say after 5. I’ve also gotten toy story mania later in the day as well. Never looked for the ones at animal kingdom.

Splash is easy to get same day.

My experience as a party of one or two is I can get almost anything, with a start time coming up soon, by refreshing on most days. Exceptions are 7DMT, Peter Pan, Flight of Passage, Navi River Journey, and Slinky Dog. Of those, Peter and River are a bit easier to pick up. Splash is a bit harder in the summer. You just have to be willing to constantly refresh. Usually I can get another fp starting soon in the time it takes to get from the first tap in point to boarding the attraction.

I’ve been able to get Soarin’ later in the day. We’ve also been successful hopping in line right before park closing for Na’vi and Soarin’ when the line times said 40-50 minutes... and only waited 15 minutes or so. A little birdie told me that they keep the wait times falsely elevated at the end of the night to deter people from jumping in line.

Just keep refreshing....I was amazed at all the E-ticket rides we were able to get in August. All for a party of 5. We even managed FOP one afternoon at AK for 30 minutes later. Just make sure you adjust your party size if you are not finding anything. Many times I had to look at 2 and then 3 to make it work.

I've been able to get all of the above same day with some refreshing. Usually only for groups of 1-4 though. Larger parties will be harder to get. In my experience, only SDD and FOP take a little longer, the others are fairly easy to get.

Yes - I have learned the art of "pound the app". I've been able to get most of the major rides as a 4th FP by refreshing until it comes up. It's easier for me because we are usually 2 or 3. We got FOP around 12:30 for a 1:00 return. Got Frozen on last trip around 5:30 for 8:00. Slinky Dog is one that has alluded me but I have got the rest.

The Epcot e-ticket rides are easy to get same day, especially soarin and test track.

We’ve also been able to get Splash for later that day.

And now thatToT and RnRC are Tier 1, those should be easy to get, along with AS2.

Splash and Big Thunder are easy to get later in the day. I booked Splash today at 2pm for later this evening, but switched it to BTMRR about 15 mins later.

If you get fastpasses for less than your party size, how do you get fastpasses for the rest?

You split it up so everybody gets a FP. So using that example you could get 2 FPs for 1-2 and then 3 for 1:30-2:30, then everyone can enter between 1:25 and 2:15. It's usually easier to get FPs for smaller numbers so that's a way to get around looking for a large group.
