My 60 days was this morning - and FoP, SDD and 7DMT were all GONE. Disney trickles out more in the next 2 months (right?) but how often should I check? and at what time? if I persuade my BF to get to AK EMH for FoP how early do we need to be for an 8 AM opening to make a 10:10 Soarin?

They don’t usually release new batches of FPs, except when they change park hours. And given you’ve just been booking, I assume you’re going when RotR is due to open. So they might extend park hours.
If they do, they will release FPs for those extra hours usually within 24-48 hours but it can be earlier such as 12 hours after they extend.
The quickest way to find out about extended park hours, short of checking several times each day, is to subscribe to Touring Plans and setting up your trip on your dashboard. They will then email about any changes and you can be ready to check for extra FP times.

Did you check every day of your trip for those? It may be too late now, but the best strategy for those 3 is to begin checking from the last day of your trip and work towards the first day of your trip.

Arrive at park at time of open and lines are usually short. Also through out the day keep a look out for customer service people with iPads and or fast pass kiosk and sometimes you get lucky.
Good luck and have fun!
I went last weekend for the weekend and it was so much fun.... woke up today trying to figure out if possible to go again this weekend lol.

For FoP you really need to arrive at least an hour before opening time to be at the front of the line. Even for Slinky it’s best to be there at least 45 minutes early. They will start letting guests into the park about 30 minutes early and lead them to a “holding area” for Pandora / TSL .
Another option is to get in line 15 minutes before park closing. You will be allowed to ride and have very few people going through the FP line, therefore the wait time is usually much less than the official posted wit time.

thank you everyone
yes, my fallback was closing time / EMH rope drop
I was planning to do Navi after Rivers of Light - now it will be the reverse unless I can get my Fastpass switched
SDD at night? when RoR is open? may not happen
I was planning to do PeterPan as last of night 11 PM (day of flight!) but I will make it 7DMT and maybe Peter Pan as a Fastpass

With a shorter time frame you are at a disadvantage in getting your choices. Also your 60 days puts you at a time that includes guests still there soon after Thanksgiving, so youre running into a lot of competition for the best attractions. But keep trying daily and you may find something may open up for you. I've had luck come my way in the past.

Rope drop early morning or stay until close and queue up just before closing. That at least gets you a couple of choices.

You're all way off.
The obvious answer is to contact Disney, complain about how they ruined the vacation, and demand compensation.
Just kidding!

not helpful Ricky oh just kidding -
it's been 17 years since I last visited the Magic place and that was right after 9/11
I'm not a complainer although I did get my 3.71 back from Cumberland Farms when I got charged for "free" drinks (software error, my guess)
unless I switch my flight and fly down Tuesday night ($200 extra per person!) I can't do EMH for SDD - so hope bad weather allows me to change my flight for early Wednesday morning
roller coaster at night - how does that work?
SDD and 7DMT are my priorities, not my boyfriend's so I can certainly be up and about by 7 AM
