We are taking our 2.5 year old daughter on her first trip to Disney in September. I was curious those with little ones, what rides/attractions/meet n greets do you try to get fast passes for? Thank you
 
My DD will be 2.5 when we go on our trip next month. She is very short for her age and is not tall enough to ride any of the coasters. We will only be visiting MK this trip. We got FPs for Enchanted Tales with Belle, Meeting Rapunzel and Cinderella, and Buzz Lightyear (which she'll be riding with the rest of the family).

Our party has height restricted folks.
We typically do one thrill ride/mountain, one ride everyone can do, and the third is a toss up. When both I and my short person could not ride, we switched the thrill ride for something she and I could do together. This could be ride, character, or show.

Our most recent visit was EPCOT, so we had Test Track, Spaceship Earth, and Character connection (whatever that meet and greet is called).
 
Taking my 2.5 yr. old girl next month and we got FP for Dumbo, Peter Pan, Winnie the Pooh, Little Mermaid, Enchanted Tales w/ Belle, Meet Elsa & Anna. In Epcot we got FP for Nemo & Figment. HS- Frozen Sing-Along, Muppet Show, Toy Story. (we did Dis. Jr. show and Little Mermaid last year and she loved them!) I hope this helps!
 

Taking our DD for her 3rd birthday in June for 5 days. We are doing 3 days at MK since it has the most for her. We got FP+ for Pooh, Peter Pan, Little Mermaid, Enchanted Tales, Anna & Elsa, Tinkerbell, Wishes and both Parades. At Epcot we got Nemo and Character Spot (my husband and I are using our Tier 1 for TT and Soarin and doing rider switch on those for our third FP). At HS we got Toy Story, Muppets and Frozen Sing Along. (Disney Jr is a must see at that age, but the line has never been bad for us, same with Mermaid). Have a great trip!
 
DD was 2 on her first trip. Based on on our experience I would say Peter Pan is a must do. DD is 9 now, so she was a toddler and pre-schooler pre-FP+. The only ride we FP at MK was Peter Pan. The minute we were able, we would just grab another FP for it. We would usually FP it 4 or 5 times during the day. It was the ride at MK she wanted to ride over and over. If you can get Anna & Elsa, that is probably another one, assuming she has an idea of who they are. DD was obsessed with Cinderella at age 2. Cinderella did not have a FP back then, but if she did, that would have definitely been a choice for us. Pooh or Enchanted Tales with Belle are other good options. Mickey Mouse would be another choice.


For DHS, definitely Toy Story Mania. The Frozen Sing Along would be another good one for that age. For Animal Kingdom, definitely Safari. For EPCOT- she will not be tall enough to ride the main 2 that FP+ is useful for- Soarin and Test Track. In September, the lines for the other stuff probably won't be that long- but the things she will probably like are Living with the Land, Nemo, Turtle Talk with Crush, and Journey into Imagination. DD's absolute favorite at that age was the boat ride inside the Mexico Pavillion (don't miss that one!), but I don't think it has FP+- and the line is rarely more than 10 minutes.
