Prefix to my situation:
My party May 14th will be my wife and I, our 10 year old son who's stoked for Flight of Passage and my 8 year old daughter who, although she enjoyed Soarin' is hesitant about FoP due to 3d glasses and riding on something. So there's a good chance she bails on FoP. We were last at Disney before Pandora opened (although we were there last May so we were aware it was coming and the kids were excited)
My 60 day window opened but I didn't get online until closer to 8am and ALL Flight of Passage mornings were all taken so I grabbed Na'vi River Journey for the morning and figured either:
My concerns is whether FoP might be a bit overwhelming as a first ride of the day for the 10 year old and the 8 year old may be braver to try it after she's warmed up with a few other rides.
So the main questions being:
-Do FoP fastpass+ passes pop up fairly frequent in the afternoon during weekdays? Is this ride so popular that if I don't lock in a FP+ now we may miss it?
-Is Na'Vi River Journey fairly easy to rope drop (especially with extra magic hours) compared to Flight of Passage where I imagine "bigger kids" may well be running to the ride?
Thanks

-We could rope drop FoP..especially since we'll have Extra Magic Hours for Animal Kingdom that day
-We could clear all our fastpasses for that day (our last is Jungle cruise at 11:10) and then keep an eye our for FoP fastpasses as they come
-We could rope drop River Journey and FP+ an evening spot with FoP (although I'm not keen on locking in my 3rd fastpass for after 6pm and not being able to book any other FP+s for the entirety of the day.
