Help me pick my FP+?

My window opens soon!  I think I know what I want, but I have a few conundrums. 

We have 8 days of park hoppers.  DD will be 2 and a few months. 


Arrival day, we're going to do pool at the Poly and head to MK for a few hours.  I'm shooting for Mine Train, Peter Pan, and Winnie the Pooh (?) for that night, hoping that there will be early evening availability for those since people will prioritize earlier times.  


Day 2:  Splash/Big Thunder child swap, Pirates, Jungle Cruise

Day 3: Everest/Dinosaur child swap, safari, xx. Would you recommend Lion King or Nemo? 

Day 4: Toy Story Mania, Tower of Terror/Star Tours child swap, For the First Time in Forever

Day 5: Buzz, Little Mermaid, Haunted Mansion 

Day 6: Test Track/Soarin' (I don't think it will be open, so not sure what to put in its place), Spaceship Earth, The Seas

Day 7: ??  I have no idea what park we will be at or if this will be a pool day with maybe some park time thrown in.  

Day 8:  Seven Dwarves Mine Train if I can't get it for Day 1.  No idea what rides DD might want to do again.  Talking Mickey could be fun, but we are doing Tusker House breakfast and may see him there.  Ariel m&g?  Is the Festival of Fantasy parade a good FP+ option?  If so, I could do that on Day 2 or Day 5 and move one of the other rides to Day 8.


How frustrating is it to make these reservations?  I had no issues with dining, but I assume this is more challenging.  My hope is that they will release info about Anna and Elsa and we can do that and Frozen Ever After on Day 7.

I am not a fan of Winnie the Pooh at all, but many are. I'd do Enchanted Tales or Small World instead.

I'd choose Nemo over Lion King especially given her age. Make sure to visit the Dumbo play area. You may also want to do Flying Carpets. Will she be tall enough for Barnstormer?

Also not a Pooh fan but the ride is definitely geared towards little ones.

Normally I would opt for Lion King but Nemo would be a better choice.

The water parks have great kid areas so you might want to look at that option if you will be there during nice weather.

Thanks. May switch to Enchanted Tales.

Is there any particular order I should book these in? We've never ridden Mine Train or Toy Story, so I'm really hoping we can get both of those.

I'll come back and say more later but - I'd for sure do Enchanted Tales over WtP. The ET line doesn't move.

My suggestion would be get to the parks early, do as much as possible before the crowds get bad and then have your FPs set for early-mid afternoon when lines are longer. The order doesn't really matter just look at a park map while choosing so you don't have to cross back and forth too much

Definitely Nemo over LK.

Maybe leave something open in hopes the a frozen ride is open by the time you go.

That's all I've got. Plans look awesome!
