On Friday (2 days from now) I have an AP Park pass for MK. We plan to hop to AK in the afternoon. Can I book a FoP ILL at 7 am?
I should add we are staying on site
Yes, for a time after 2pm.

We had good luck with doing Slinky with a LL and rope dropping MMRR. Although I think we got Slinky in the early afternoon. That one goes incredibly fast.Is there any kind of strategy for getting MMRR and Slinky for a HS morning? With what I’ve been seeing by stalking my tip board on MDE, whichever I pick as the first LL, the second will be sold out by the time I can pick another LL.
When are you going? If you've only been looking at when Slinky and MMRR "sold out" last week and this week, you're getting a misleading picture of how long they last on normal days. Even with all the recent madness, MMRR has lasted on average past 3:00 this past month. Book Slinky at 7:00 sharp and MMRR should be available when you can next book an LL. You likely won't get a morning return time though, if that is what's important to you.Is there any kind of strategy for getting MMRR and Slinky for a HS morning?

Calling the experts. Does this plan look okay? Or should I change something? Any help would be appreciated!
We are going to WDW for two park days with park hoppers during the third week of March, so big Spring Break crowds. I have three teens who love the parks, planning, rope dropping, etc. We are staying at the Poly and will be utilizing Early hours and MK extended evening hours. Our last trip was during the pandemic, so we haven’t used Genie Plus but have had multiple trips using Fast Passes and Disneyland’s max pass. Still, I’m a little overwhelmed at all things Genie Plus. Because of a shortened trip, I am willing to pay for LL plus for time saving purposes if necessary. I’m planning on stacking LLs for the afternoon/evening park? Here is my proposed plan…
Day One: MK and Epcot
Book Tron - I am unsure to try virtual queue or just buy a LL lane. We do not have much time, and I’ve heard the VQ takes an average of an hour?! Is the lightning lane faster?
Book Guardians LL plus for evening
Book Remy for LL evening
Book Frozen for LL
Book whatever else I can get after that
Day Two: AK, HS, MK for extended hours
Book LL plus for Flight of Passage, so we can ride our favorites quickly, watch our beloved It’s Tough to be a Bug, ride FoP and leave by lunch
LL Slinky (1pm-ish)
LL MMRR
(We rode Rise so many times in Disneyland when it was VQ only, and they had two VQ drops a day, so we are good on not spending time riding it on this trip.)
LL ToT? Or whatever else at either HS or MK before extended hours
I was thinking about a VQ for Tron for extended evening, but I’m concerned about how much time that will eat up.
Also, I miss free FPs that I could plan out.
It is not an option. Disney has made no confirmed detailed announcements about the changes to G+.Okay I have been looking everywhere and I don't see it anywhere (unless I'm blind). I am pricing out my vacation for the summer but there is no option to add G+ for my entries trip. I thought this was an option now?

Is it reasonable to think I could get on Tron and or Guardians in Extra Evening Hours, so no need for anything during normal hours?Make sure to book Remy or Frozen after you get your Tron and then get Guardians after that (3rd thing at 7am).
I would also recommend getting Slinky ASAP and then try Flight of Passage on your second day. You can always adjust, but you don't want to pull a 6pm slot for Slinky if you do it second.

- If your ticket type is not required to have a Disney Park Pass theme park reservation that day, you can book any attraction you’d like at any theme park at any time. That means that guests with date-specific tickets and Passholders on a “Good-to-Go” Day are eligible for all Genie+ selections at all theme parks at any time of day.
- If your ticket type requires a theme park reservation, you will have to physically tap into the theme park where you made a Disney Park Pass reservation to unlock Genie+ selections at theme parks other than your reserved theme park. This would apply to non-date-based tickets and Annual Passholders on non-“Good-to-Go” days.
that is not very fair to AP holders.New rules for Genie+ with today's park hopping update:

Its like they're incapable of removing an obstacle without making it significantly more complex and confusing
I agree! We pay the same amount for G+ service as everyone else.. it should work the same way!!that is not very fair to AP holders.
On most days you could probably switch your park reservations around to book in other parks, then switch back to the actual park you want to enter 1st after making your selections.New rules for Genie+ with today's park hopping update:
