Hi there. My family and I will be visiting Disney for the first time. Our daughter is 7 years old. Any suggestions what we should use fast pass that would be for her age group? Rides? Parades? etc....We are all first timers and just don't have a clue.

Thanks
 
:welcome: to the DIS!

Generally, it is best to choose FP+ based on time savings and/or your personal must-do rides. This thread is wonderful for prioritizing your FP+ choices:

http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=3143281

Magic Kingdom has so many headliner rides that we have picked our favorites, even if they might not save the most time. For example, The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh is a must-do for DD11, so it is one of our FP+ choices. We will probably ride it more than once because she loves Pooh, so it is nice to have FP+ for one of those rides. The mountains (Space, Splash and Big Thunder) always have some of the longer wait times, as well as Peter Pan's Flight.

If your DD wants to meet Anna and Elsa, that is the best time-saving if you can get FP+. Enchanted Tales with Belle is another character event with long lines.

At Hollywood Studios, Toy Story Mania and Rock'n Roller Coaster have the longest lines. Your DD might not like RnR, but she will almost certainly like TSM. The line is more interesting at TSM, though - the RnR line is pretty boring. FP+ is tiered at DHS, so you can't pick both.

At Epcot, Soarin' and Test Track have the longest lines. My kids both picked Test Track for our FP+, but we will stand in line for Soarin'. FP+ is tiered at Epcot, so you can't pick both.

At Animal Kingdom, the three attractions with the longest lines are Expedition Everest, Kali River Rapids and Kilimanjaro Safaris. You could use FP+ for all three.

Generally speaking, parades and fireworks do not save you as much time as using FP+ for attractions, but some families do find it useful.

Enjoy your first trip!

I also have a 7yo daughter, and our fastpasses are:

Animal Kingdom - Kilimanjaro Safari, Meet Mickey & Minnie, and Kali River Rapids
Epcot - Test Track, Mission Space (we will likely do Green), and Spaceship Earth
Magic Kingdom - Enchanted Tales with Belle (highly recommend this for a 7yo girl!), Peter Pan, hopefully Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, Big Thunder Mtn Railroad, Splash Mountain, and Meet Anna & Elsa.
Hollywood Studios - Star Tours (our daughter is very excited about this), Toy Story Mania, and Tower of Terror (although we may try to do this earlier and get FP for Voyage of the Little Mermaid instead)
 

My niece is 8, she was 7 for our trip in September. At MK She loves splash mountain, thunder mountain, haunted mansion, pirates. She likes a lot of other rides but those are her favs. At EP she loves soarin, test track, figment and especially spaceship earth (not really sure why, but it's one of her favs). At HS toy story mania, great movie ride and star tours. She'll go on TOT but it's not a fav. At AK the safari, primeval whirl, dinosaur, Everest.

We don't really do parades, if we happen to be walking by we may stop for a few minutes to see it. The kids did enjoy fantasmic a lot but I'd never waste a tier one FP on it.

At the moment, there is no clearer choice to use FP on at WDW than to meet Anna and Elsa at Magic Kingdom, assuming your 7yo would be interested. The earlier link is also the green one in my signature below.
 
My 7 year old daughter no longer has any interest in princesses, including the frozen girls. She's not into thrill rides. I'd do

MK - splash, thunder (close call on what he this is too much for her) and haunted mansion. Substitute new mine train when it becomes available.

Hs - toy story mania, any other 2 but I will avoid tot for my daughter.

Ak - Safari, rapids,

Epcot - soarin, green mission space
