From what I have been told, FP+ spots are released on a staggered schedule. Availability might show up at 30, 15, 7, etc days out. However, the attractions you listed are the only attraction you really need FP for. All the others are shows and dark rides where the wait is fairly minimal on all but the busiest days.
No. Regular fastpass will still be available at that time. However, if you could opt in (you need to be staying at a Disney resort) I would as you will be able to select fireworks viewing as one of your FP+ options.
Yes, and they are not releasing every fastpass at the 60 day mark.
I need to add this to my prior post. There is one big difference in the present and next gen fp systems. That is I do not have to get into the park at rope drop, and run with the others to get a fastpass with the new system. Once they get rid of the paper fp system, fp will not be only for that that can physically outrun others. It may also have the affect of lowering the amount of people at rope drop (We do not do rope drops).
I'm staying at a Disney resort...how do I go about opting in?
Since it is still in testing there is no 100% fool proof way as not every resort is testing at the same time. The first step would be to start here. If you can not get anywhere from the link call Disney and see what options you have.
