Hello all. I'm going to Disney in about 3 weeks with my 3 year old. She is very excited as am I! We are hitting MK for 1 day and Epcot for another day. We are planning on being at the bus stop at the hotel no later than 8 so that we can make rope drop at MK and hopefully get onto most of the rides in Fantasy Land in the first hour. With that said here are our FP selections:

MK
M&G Rapunzel and Tiana 930-1030 (probably do this closer to the 1030 mark)
Barnstormer 1055-1155
Magic Carpets of Aladdin 1205-105

Epcot
SE 1035-1135
M&G Disney Pals 440-540
Frozen 740-840
I figure we'll be able to do Nemo, Figment, the Disney Shorts Show and Living with the Land easily in the am around our other plans. At night I plan on possibly re-doing Nemo (bc she loves it) and then heading over to WS and Mexico to do the Donald Duck ride and then do Frozen right before getting ready for Illuminations.

Thanks for your input!

Keep the M&G but get rid of everything else. If you must use Barnstormer, then get a FP+ for Peter Pan at least. If she can ride Splash Mountain, that is a much, much better use than Barnstormer. You also have the options of Haunted Mansion, Buzz Lightyear, Enchanted Tales with Belle, and Pirates. I think a FP+ for any of those would save more time for you than a FP+ for Aladdin or Barnstormer.

She's not tall enough for Splash... Although I wish she was - She's only roughly 37 inches.

I kept Barnstormer (BC I know she'll love it) and I changed the others to Pirates and Belle.

If you have any desire to ride Peter Pan, then either get a FP for it or go there absolutely first. Do as much as you can in Fantasyland before your first FP expires, and use it as late as possible. Don't forget that you can add FPs as soon as you scan your magic band for the third FP (i.e., while you are waiting in the FP line, not after you get off the ride). I hope you and your daughter have a magical time!

I hate to say it, but I agree with the above-posters. I would not get a FP+ for the carpets; you don't need it. I would do Peter Pan. I also don't think one of your initial 3 should be Barnstormer. If you're daughter is interested in character M&Gs, I would use the FP+ for those. You can probably get on Barnstormer with a relatively limited wait and/or use your 4th or 5th FP for it. The character M&G FP+ will run out much sooner than either the Barnstormer or the carpets, and the standby lines for the M&G will be much longer. There are characters at MK that will not be at Akershus. I'm pretty sure Cinderella & Elena are not at Akershus. I'm not sure if Ariel joined Akershus since we last ate there. Last we ate there, we were told by the CM that Ariel would not be participating "because she doesn't have any legs." :hilarious::hilarious:

Thanks. I appreciate this. Because she doesn't really know about the M&Gs yet, I'm thinking bc were limited in time that we'll skip the ones at MK unless the standby line is short time. I'm really hoping to get there st rope drop and get into the park and maybe just maybe we'll be able to get into one of the M&Gs. I think she'd like the Barnstormer better but I suppose I should ask her too.....

She had legs in 2011 so I hope she is ok.
