We are going on Wednesday, March 18th. It will be myself, wife and 2 year old daughter. I'm curious to where you think the better use of FP+ is during the morning. The part I can't decide is if we should start with Peter Pan and FP+ Dumbo OR start with Pooh and FP+ Peter Pan. We plan on getting FP+ 1-2pm for Pirates and 2-3pm for Jungle Cruise.

Enter at Rope Drop
Peter Pan (done by 9:20am)
Pooh (done by 9:45)
Teacups (done by 10:10)
Pete's Silly Slide Show (done by 10:40)
Dumbo (10:30-11:30 FP+)
Mermaid
Carousel
Phil Harmagic
Smallworld

OR

Enter at Rope Drop
Pooh (done by 9:20)
Teacups (done by 9:45)
Dumbo (done by 10:20)
Pete's Silly Slide Show (done by 10:50)
Mermaid (done by 11:30)
Carousel
Peter Pan (11:30am-12:30pm FP+)
Phil Harmagic
Smallworld
 
I think either plan would be fine but I'd wait to use that first fastpass until after 11am. I'd keep hitting standby lines for the first 2 hours until the park gets busy.
 
If there at rope drop and by rope drop I mean already through security's check/ bag check, you shouldn't have a problem getting several rides done without a FP and even more with your list.

I would do the following...

Peter Pan
Pooh
Mermaid
Dumbo
Teacups

If you are there at rope drop, you will be off Peter Pan by 9 am and done with Pooh by 9:20 (both via standby) fairly easily. My plan for these attractions would be:

Enter at Rope Drop - I would be through security and waiting by 8:35 am
Peter Pan - 8:50 - 9 am
Pooh - 9:05 - 9:15
Teacups - 9:20 - 9:25
Pete's Silly Slide Show - 9:30 - 10 am
bathroom break, maybe a snack - 10:00 - 10:15
Dumbo - 10:15 - 10:45 in case the little one wants to play before hand
Mermaid - (not sure if you mean the meet & greet or the ride but10:45 - 11 am/11:10
Smallworld - 11:10 - 11:20
Carousel - 11:20 - 11:30
Phil Harmagic - 11:30 - 11:45

Then lunch and start to use my afternoon FP+ in another areas of the park.
 
Thanks for the replies so far. My thinking is using the FP+ for Dumbo or Peter Pan early would allow us to book a 4th FP+ after Jungle Cruise (especially since the machine is right there). Also, it would keep the not waiting in line momentum going if there was a big line at Dumbo in Scenario 1. I was thinking after Jungle Cruise we could get a 3pm Parade spot and then I could run back and grab the 4th FP+. I'm thinking Buzz or Astro Orbitor would still be available later in the night when we head over to that side of the park.

The other option is to just not book the Dumbo/Peter Pan FP+ and get a Buzz FP+ for later (6-7pm).
 
We were just there on Dec. 18 for a 7 am rope drop.

Between 7-8 we did

PP
Pooh
Dumbo
Barnstormer
Space
Buzz

At 8- we went and got Breakfast on Main Street, and did Enchanted Tales with Belle.

Our first FP was for 7DMT at 9:05.
