Just got back from a 7 day trip and thought maybe someone can learn from my mistakes.
You can get same day fastpasses for NRJ for 2 people pretty easily as long as you refresh about 20 times. I learned this because I was constantly looking for FoP FP which was impossible to get but NRJ kept coming up. I had 2 days planned for AK and I chose NRJ for 1 FP and FoP for the other. I wish now that I had chosen FoP for both. We rode NRJ standby early in the trip and ended up dropping the NRJ FP because NRJ was a one and done for us.
Watched the 10:30 ROL with a fastpass I picked up 15 minutes before ROL started. This was a mistake. Standby never filled up. Should've watched ROL standby and beat the crowd that was heading to Pandora. The ROL FP section of the theater is furthest from Pandora and the crowds basically emptied from the ROL stadium and filled the FOP queue. So we decided to wait it out. Lines would surely go down the closer it got to midnight? Nope. They actually doubled as people streamed in from the other parks that were closing.
A different night, I tried to hop to AK for EMH after watching the Star Wars Fireworks. Bus line for AK was madness. Several lines had formed and people weren't sure which was the official line because they were so far from the bus queue. We decided to split a taxi with another couple that was waiting in line. This worked out great because we beat most of the park hoppers coming from the other parks. Moral of this story is - if you wait for MK, Epcot, or HS to close you might be waiting in a long line for a bus and then an even longer line once you arrive to AK.
Finally just a timeline for our 7:00am AK EMH. Arrived at Pop Century's bus stop at 6:05am, just missed the first bus, 4 people on it. 2nd bus arrived at 6:25am, this bus completely filled leaving some latecomers in the queue; we arrived at AK around 6:45. Through bag check and ticket lines by 6:55. On Flight of Passage by 7:35. Done shortly before 8. Had time for a few photopass pictures before our 8:10 FoP FP for a 2nd ride! Loved this ride! Got 3 rides in but could've done a few more!
