Apologies if the answer to this question is in the thread already - I've read a large number of the posts, but not all, so may have missed it.
We just booked FP+ for our upcoming October trip. We got most of the Tier 1's we'd hoped for, which is great. We did book some tier 2's for first thing in the morning - because that's when we could fit them in around Tier1's, ADR's and other plans. 2 members of our group aren't morning people, so there may be a day when we don't get to the park in time for our first FP (we made sure that the things we booked early morning are things we don't mind missing). If we have a FP booked for 9:05-10:05 but don't get to the park until 11 - is that FP considered used (so that once we use our remaining 2 FP's we can book what would be our 4th of the day - which could be a second tier 2, or will we need to book and use another tier 2 to make up for missing the tier 2 we slept through in the morning?
I think, from reading the first couple of posts in this thread, that we may be able to book another tier 1 - but I'm unclear on that.
Also wondering - when you mention tapping in at a ride but not riding - you just tap in and walk away? It's been a while since our last visit - I'm trying to remember if all of the tap in locations are far enough outside that you won't be having to edge your way past lines of people.
Lastly - thank you so much for this information - my brain is a bit tired from the planning and now trying to be sure we know all of the ins and outs - but I really appreciate the help!
