Ok. So they're not that little, but my 2 DDs (6 and 9) are young for their age and prefer the tame attractions. With that in mind - here is my one-day, very selective plan for MK with HOT August crowds. We have never seen any new Fantasyland or Storybook Circus and did DLR last year. Tell me what you think about timing. I know we are missing some big rides, but it's either because they've been vetoed or they're a repeat from what we did last year.

1) Magic Kingdom Welcome Show, arrive before 8:45am.
2) Seven Dwarfs Mine Train (standby) **nervous about this one because of the crowds, but I'm reluctant to use a FP because I'm afraid the girls will decide not to try it.
3) Princess Fairytale Hall: Meet Cinderella and Rapunzel
4) Ariel's Grotto
5) Dumbo the Flying Elephant
6) Pete's Silly Sideshow: Meet Minnie and Daisy (arriving around 9:45)
7) The Barnstormer
8) Mad Tea Party
9) it's a small world
10) Peter Pan's Flight
Uses your FastPass+ reservation. 10:30-11:30
11) Prince Charming Regal Carrousel
12) Prince Charming Regal Carrousel
13) Tomorrowland Speedway (expect 20 min wait)
14) Casey Jr. Splash 'N' Soak Station and snack around 11:30 with about 1hr 15 min before
15) Anna and Elsa FP+ (hoping for 12:45 - 1:45)
16) Be Our Guest Restaurant, hoping for 1:30 FP+, exiting toward Frontierland to find a spot for
17) Disney Festival of Fantasy Parade
18) Rest 3:30pm
** Leaving the park to to return by 7pm
19) Walt Disney World Railroad Main Street U.S.A. Station to Fantasyland
20) Enchanted Tales with Belle
Uses your FastPass+ reservation 7pm - 8pm
21) Main Street Electrical Parade, lineup near Pecos Bills around 8:30pm.

Use time after MSEP to visit whatever we'd like (Adventureland Magic Carpets and Swiss or Tomorrowland for Monsters or Buzz) or return to hotel. Kids aren't interested in fireworks.
 
So I've given this some more thought and I think I'll tweak and add an early FP+ for SDMT. If we don't use it I can maybe grab another for ETWB later on. I don't want to derail our day waiting in a long line at SDMT right after RD.
