I'd probably keep trying for 5 but splitting can work...the trouble would be getting overlapping times. You will likely have a much better chance of finding a FP much closer to the date. The night before and day of tend to see more movement.
When I was looking for a party of 4 I originally split us into 2 and 2. I found an earlier time for fop for 2 people. Before accepting it, I went back and changed it to 4 people and was able to get it for our whole party.
maybe I'll let it go for a few days!
I just answered this same question from you that you posted in another thread:
When there is a closing time for parks, that does not mean everything is shut down. Rides keep going for those already in line. Dining keeps going for those already eating. Stores stay open quite awhile. People will still be in the parks for an hour or more. So shows can happen after the parks have their official closing hour.
We just did AK a little over a week ago. Got caught up in traffic and didn't get into the park until about 9:15. Went right to Navi and it was a 20 minute wait then (posted, I actually think a bit shorter). So I really think you'd be okay as long as you don't dawdle at breakfast. if you're there by 9 you should be more than fine I would think.
I did this exact plan in December and it was fine. We waited 10 minutes for Navi, but we were done eating and on our way to Pandora by 8:45. You will be fine and tusker house food was fantastic!!
What did you go to after Navi? I might be doing an 8 am th and going to Navi.
We had a 9:40 FP for FOP so we walked around pandora and took pics until 9:35 when our FP could be used. Then we headed over to EE and did single rider line and then went over by Dinoland. If you don’t have a FOP FP that soon after you could hit the safari with relatively short waits still. We had a FP so it wasn’t a priority to head back in that direction right away.
Okay thanks! I was actually thinking about doing the Safari after Navi and then ee after the Safari.
Thank you Elsaspiritanimal and Marcimi. I am so glad I posted here before cancelling! We have never done Tusker so that should be fun and my husband is a big breakfast eater!
It is usually closed until 10:30 or so. They have a sign telling you to go the normal route. We had to take the “long” way around and it was still fine.
I think you could have FoP as a 4th FP on the day if one is available, but you can't have both as your original 3 on the same day. If you can get one, you'd be better with FoP as your fast pass
Yes you can get it as a 4th fast pass or try and keep modifying the Navi fast pass to get FOP instead.
Oh ok. So then yeah, there's no way I'll get a fp for fop then. Good to know now I guess
