Anyone want to help me with FP suggestions?

[Cowbells]

Planning our first Disney World trip for the end of September, I've never been and my husband hasn't been since he was a kid.  DD1 will be 8 when we go and is about 50 inches tall.  DD2 will be 3 1/2 and is just over 39 inches (I'm hoping she hits a growth spurt and is 40 by our trip .

Can you help me with prioritizing our fast passes?  I am planning 2 days at Magic Kingdom (plus MNSSHP), 1 day at Animal Kingdom, 1 day at Epcot, and 1 day at Hollywood Studios.

My girl's like princesses, but aren't overly crazy.  We will be doing character meals at Akershus, Chef Mickey's and Hollywood and Vine.  They LOVE Frozen, so one FP will defiantly be to meet Anna and Elsa, but beyond that I really don't know what I should get a FP for and what we can wait in line for.

I would appreciate any suggestions!

I would do either of the Toy Story rides at MK or HS. You will definitely need a FP for Peter Pan if you plan on riding that one. I would do Soaring at Epcot.

I would do a FP to Peter Pan because that wait gets ridiculous. If you are planning on staying for the FOF parade those FPs are really nice. So A/E, PP, and FOF could be one day. Other than that most of or stuff is toddler friendly so I can't help but have fun picking!!

Plan one of your MK days as late in your trip as possible if you hope to get an A+E FP.

Definitely A+E, 7 Dwarfs, and Peter Pan at MK.

Toy Story as the tier 1 FP at Hollywood Studios. You can do single rider for Rock'n' Rollercoaster since you can only get 1 tier 1 FP if your 8 year old will want to do that. Since she's 8, she can do single rider.

Probably the Frozen sing a long and then Tower of Terror at Hollywood Studios as well. I find most that isn't tier 1 there doesn't really need a FP.

Since you all need to pick a Tier 1 at Epcot. You can do 2 of you with FPs for Soarin' and 2 of you for Test Track and then use the Rider Swap unless your youngest ends ups 40 inches. Just have your 8 year old use your 3.5 year olds magic band for the Soarin'/Test Track FP.

(does that make sense? Did I just confuse the hell out of you?)

Follow-up question: when you go to WDW do you make a plan for what rides and attractions you are going to do each day or do you just get your FP for the must do's and go with the flow from there? I've been looking at touring plans on WDW Prep School and they are stressing me out!

We focused on FP and then went with the flow. We knew there were rides that we wouldn't need FP for and didn't have waits.

We also didn't do any character meets outside of meals.

This post on Disboards has good FP recommendations: www.disboards.com/threads/fastpass-basic-info-suggested-priorities-and-strategies-part-ii.3326057/

We do basically all the character meet and greets so I do a rough idea for each day (like do Adventureland and Frontierland on X day, Fantasyland and Tomorrowland on Y day. Plus I write out what shows, parades, etc we want to try and see so we can split those among the days.

Nothing other than FPs is set in stone of course, but it helps us make sure we don't miss anything super important.

Kennythepirate.com has all the character schedules (so much better then Disney's whole "on and off from 9am-5pm" which doesn't show breaks or anything)

Both times we went this summer there were no FP for 7 Dwarves. We rode it first thing when the park opened. I also recommended one of the toy story rides. Kali River Rapids at AK if you want to cool down in the afternoon, the mornings seemed to not have a long wait. Test track has a single rider line also, if you ride individually the wait is like 20 minutes. You'll ride like 30 seconds different from each other. You may even end up in the same car.

Not trying to start a Disney people vs non-Disney people debate, but I seriously thought this post was going to be about fisher-price.
