Fastpasses for preschoolers at MK, Epcot, DHS?

[DisneyFave]

Hi all! I'm heading to WDW mid-Sept for 3 nights with my very tall 4 y/o niece. We're doing 3 character dinners (Garden Grill, Crystal Palace, Akershus). I'm wondering what FP's you think I should reserve for us in each park.

I'm looking at the DHS ones and honestly none of them seem that necessary (I have reserved TSMM (necessary, I know), Frozen singalong, and Disney Jr Live on Stage--eh?). I'm wondering if I should make DHS a half day and save our FPs for Epcot. She's into Anna/Elsa but would have no idea about the singalong if we skipped it (assuming we couldn't get in without FP).

For MK I missed the 60 day mark and the Anna/Elsa thing. We have Peter Pan, Micket at Town Sqr, and Barnstormer.

For Epcot I have Soarin, Spaceship Earth, and the Seas with Nemo.

Any suggested changes??

THANKS!

Are you planning on rope dropping DHS? If so, you could hit TSMM at that point and save fastpasses for EPCOT. It sounds like the only other things you want to do there are the shows, which you don't necessarily need FP for, especially in September. However, there's not a ton at EPCOT that requires a FP either. The big question is will you want to do Test Track and Soarin' or just Soarin'? If it's the former, then definitely drop the DHS reservations and book a second day's worth at EPCOT. If it's the latter, I don't know that it really matters.

As for MK, are you planning to hit rope drop and, if so, what are you planning to head to with that time? I think I would skip the Barnstormer FP and replace it with either the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train or Winnie the Pooh, depending on your niece's interests.

Really at DHS besides TSMM and TOT/RNRC (which it sounds like she isn't interested in then not a lot else would need a FP.
My DD loved TOT at both 3 and 4 years old-if its not a surprise trip maybe have her watch a ride video on you tube to see if she would like to ride it?
As far as Epcot either Soarin or Test Track (damn having to choose!) and I agree with Nemo (you probably wont need it but there isn't much else you would need it for)
I know you are doing the character dining but possibly the Epcot character spot?
At MK, I agree with dropping Barnstormer, we have never needed a FP for it (although we are normally there in May)
So how are you doing your days? 1 at MK, 1 at Epcot and one at DHS that you are considering splitting with Epcot? Is that to spend 1 1/2 days at Epcot? With someone that age I would add the extra time to MK. If you are going to split it so you have any interest in AK?

I would also drop Barnstormer and try for Seven Dwarf Mine Train. My 3 and 4 year old loves it!!

Love these ideas!

I just switched out Barnstormer for 7DMT.

We'll definitely do rope drop on MK day. Probably will head to Winnie the Pooh, 7DMT, Little Mermaid??

At DHS I think we'll skip TOT just because she hates the dark.

For now the plan is:

Sat Sept 12: Arrive Boardwalk Villas at noon, head to Epcot for rides, 5:25 Akershus
Sun Sept 13: MK rope drop, 11:20 Be Our Guest lunch, nap/AC break at nearby hotel, 3:50 Crystal Palace
Mon Sept 14: DHS rope drop, 11:35 Prime Time, Epcot afternoon, 5:35 Garden Grill
Tue Sept 15: Hotel pool, depart at 12
