We're headed to AK February 12 by our current plan. We were initially staying offsite so I couldn't book early, and by the time we scored a room at POFQ it was 31 days out so we didn't gain much FP advantage that way!
Got Navi FP for late afternoon, and have been furiously refreshing for either an earlier time there or the rare chance of FOP, but no luck yet. Our group is 5 people--should I be splitting us into 2 and 3 when refreshing for better odds? We have a toddler who is too short to ride as well so technically would be eligible for rider swap if only a few of us get FP, I guess, although the plan was to get everyone booked and just ride in 2 shifts.
We're doing EMM the next day so I'm not sure we're up for rope drop that morning. And the toddler may be too exhausted for us to all survive until park close for that strategy, although if we fail at FP maybe we'll split up so at least some of us can ride that way...really hoping for FP to make life a little easier!
