Which would you all recommend with DSgoing on 3? We have 2 rope drops to try to get Peter Pan.
 
If I was going during high crowds, I'd pick the parade FP and RD PP, or FP it another day. If lower crowds, I'd grab a snack and find a spot for the parade without a FP.

Does your 3 yo need a nap in the afternoon, though? The parade is still at 3 PM, right?

Yes, he usually naps, but I can afford one early or short nap day if it's our first park day... especially since we will be done by 7. Is the FoF not to be missed or is it ok to skip? I just added an extra day to the beginning of our trip, which gives us an extra MK day so I am spreading things out to help things go at more of a leisurely pace.
 
I'd 100% use it for PP. Even at RD, the line gets long fast. And with a toddler, it's not like you'll probably be at the front of the line. If you happen to sleep in or get delayed, you'll be in a long line.

My DD (who is 2) was obsessed with PP. Definitely one of her favorite rides. Even if she'd done it at RD, she would have been so happy to have the FP to ide it a second time later in the day.

You can see the parade from so many places, that I'd have a hard time justifying the use of the FP for that over PP. We got to the parade shortly before it started and had no issue finding a spot.

Ok thank you. It looks like I'll get the FP+ for Peter Pan!

We're here with 3 & 5 year olds and have rope dropped PP twice. Trick is to zoom up liberty square. Drop the stroller next to Columbia harbor house and then walk (or carry the kid) to PP.

If you FP the parade you still need to get there by 2:30 or you are not getting a curb spot. And the parade doesn't arrive there until nearly 3:15.

I'll keep that in mind! Thanks! :thumbsup2
