How long a trip?
A week but our AK day is at the beginning of the trip. Cannot rearrange the schedule at this point.
How long a trip?
They can still update and change hours.
For the end of October for PM emh:
24th: Epcot 9-11pm
25th: MK 9-11pm
29th: Epcot 9-11pm
30th: MK 9-11pm
Today was our FP booking today. Staying onsite, so was able to book days 60 +5. We got FP for FOP on day 63 for a party of 7. There were more times available for the evening. The only other day I checked was day 65, which had FP starting at 2pm.
You have given me a glimmer of hope! Our window opens Friday...keeping fingers crossed as we are also a party of 7 and the thought of trying to get FOP has me anxious.Today was our FP booking today.

I'm so glad you posted this! After seeing the pp about not being able to get FOP at 60 days I was a little concerned.

Has anyone gotten on FOP line at closing recently? We are here now and despite trying at 60 days even though our AK day was on day 4, we did not get FP. I've been checking but no success.
I haven't been looking at wait times since we simply plan on getting there at 7:15 to rope drop it. However, since we successfully rode mine train the past 2 nights at close, I was wondering if we should just try that tonight. I don't expect as much success as we had yesterday(got in on the mine train line a little after 9:30 and jumped back on for 2nd ride just as they were closing the line) but we're thinking about it.
We are doing HS today and then were going to head to MK for EMH. But I'm wondering if we should change our plans.
Ugh. My 60-day window opened this morning and was ready to go right at 7 a.m. Started looking for FoP from the end of my trip coming forward, but no luck for any of my days. I'm so bummed.
Any tips for experiencing this ride without having to wait hours in line? Any time/day better than others?
But if you wait your 2 hours before the park opens, you still have the entire day left in the park. You haven't used valuable park time in a huge line.I've often wondered the different point of views. I've seen people write things like "I got to the turnstile at 7:00 a.m. and walked right on to FoP when park opened." Um didn't you just wait in line for 2 hours? Isn't that the same thing as getting into line at 10:00 a.m. and not getting to the front of the line until noon?
Unless lines get longer as day goes on? Although I just read something (maybe Touring Plans) that says the lines for FoP actually start to dwindle in the afternoon... not sure if that's true though.
Truth yes people wait in line but it does depend on your priorities and how you feel about your park ticket. Some people I can understand have no desire (or it's really hard with their traveling party) to get up at the crack of dawn just to stand in line and are fine waiting in line during actual park hours. And others are willing to wait a while prior to park time and use their actual park hours for other things.I've often wondered the different point of views.
