FP+ with preschoolers

[Surgie2]

We will be staying onsite at Poly in May. Kids will be 5,5 and 4. Trying to prioritize FP+ without wasting any. They won't do the Mountains and not interested in princess meet and greets.

We will visit MK on at least parts of 3 days of our 8 days (hopper passes). Some days we can do rope drop, other days we won't. Which FP+ would you recommend for this age group? I know after a day they may have some favorites in mind but as a starting point, they will be excited to do anything...except wait in long lines!

Peter Pans flight is always a long line so I believe that is a must, Winnie the pooh, Dumbo, Jungle Cruise, Buzz Lightyear spaceranger spin..... whats great about Magic Kingdom is almost all the rides are fastpass so if your going that many days you can just pick three each day!!! have a great trip!!

Even though they won't want to ride the mountains they might enjoy the barnstormer, it's a fun first coaster for kids that age.

Yes, I agree Barnstormer looks fun. There will be adults in our group who will want the mountains but I want to get the kids' Fps organized in my mind first.

If your kids won't ride the mountains and if the 4 year-old isn't tall enough, you can use Rider Swap for your Mountain FPs.

The first one or two riders FP the Mountain and ask for a Rider Swap by showing the kids who won't ride. Then, after the first adults ride, any 3 Riders ride on the Swap without needing a FP.

This doubles up your FPs, creatively. You may want to decide on your Mountain FPs and see how you can utilize Swap to be advantageous for your group.

I know that the Peter Pan line gets long, and most people advocate for a fast pass there, but I would do the regular line at least once. We had about a 45 minute wait the last time we went, and it was more fun than the ride. They did a great job on the interactive queue for this one!

I would get fast passes for 7DMT, and whatever else looks good. Outside of the mountains and the meet and greets, I feel like a lot of the other MK fastpasses will have same day availability unless you are there for a very busy time.

Thanks for explaining how this works. I really didn't know and it's helpful info.
