Then I don't get anymore fast passes for the day because I used it on Splash. In your opinion is it better to get on splash faster or wait in those longer lined rides and use a lot of other fast passes throughout the day?

Or, if those options aren't good, you could arrive early enough to get a fastpass for it and then go to another attraction and explain your dilemma to the CM who is working the fastpass distribution machines, they will almost always use one of their magical options to issue you a fastpass for that attraction right away and then you can go to your next attraction when your two hour window on the splash mountain fastpass is open again.

Most people think that you can only use it during the one hour window. But I frequently use them well after the one hour window. One time I used a 9:30 AM fastpass at 5:00 PM.

If most people return reasonably within the one-hour window, it makes it much easier for the cast to predict accurately the true wait time for guests in the stand by line and ensures that people with FastPass tickets have a minimum amount of wait upon their return. But despite that, every attraction with FastPass will honor a ticket right up until one minute before closing. They won't accept them early even if you're literally seconds before the window begins, but they won't even bat an eye even if you're hours late.
