Which rides to Fastpass??

We're going to Disney for the first time with our DD who will be 4.5 at the time. Which rides/activities are good to try to fastpass? We're going to MK, AK and Epcot. Thanks!

Def Mine Train. A lot of people say Peter Pan, but I liked walking through it.

MK- Peter Pan, Mine Train, Elsa and Anna

I'd go for these three first.

Other good choices, depending on your DD's height and how many days you'll be in MK- Jungle Cruise, Splash Mountain, Space Mountain, Enchanted Tales with Belle, Haunted Mansion

AK- Safari, Kali Rapids, and either Lion King or Nemo show

Epcot- The only things you really need FP for here are Soarin and Test Track. Not sure if your DD is tall enough. If she is I'd FP Soarin (b/c you can only pick one of the two). Then I'd get Spaceship Earth and the Seas with Nemo.

Re: Which rides to Fastpass??

Can you get there at rope drop? (Opening?)

If so, I would FP

Anna and Elsa (assuming she would want to meet them.)
Big Thunder Mountain Railroad - a fun family coaster (assuming she meets the 40" height requirement)
Mine Train

I would do Peter Pan at rope drop along with the rest of Fantasyland. Fantasyland is a great place to start early in the morning because it gets very busy later on and there are a lot of rides close together so you can get a lot "done" early before crowds come.

EPCOT - Soarin is going into reburbishment for the spring. So check the dates on that. For the first tier that leaves Illuminations, Test Track, or Living with the Land - so definitely Test Track. For the second tier, you can pick from a bunch of non headliners that can get busy later in the day, so just pick what interests you. I think we did FP for Nemo and Spaceship Earth. You can do the characters too but DS wasn't interested.

AK - I haven't been in years so I'll defer to others.

Personally, for that age I would skip Soarin', (40 inch height requirement),Test Track (also 40 inches) and Kali River Rapids (38 inch). IMHO they are too much for a child under the age of 5. I had to take DD off Soarin at 6 because she flipped out getting strapped into the ride. She screamed bloody murder all the way through Kali, and we didn't try Test Track with her until age 7.

Peter Pan wait times often exceed one hour, so I would definitely FP that. Anna & Elsa also get a HUGE wait time, so I would FP them at exactly 12:01am the day the FP window opens. I would also be prepared to check every single day to get it if it's not available the first time you try. Mine Train has a height requirement of 38 inches. IF your DD meets it, that would be the 3rd FP for MK.

My daughter was almost 4 when we went in May and she LOVED test Track and Soarin.

OP I know your daughter IRL LOL and she would love those. they are in epcot. The test track is a race car and soarin is this 3d experience where you sit in a theater and it looks like you are hang gliding over California. Very cool!
