Help me pick Fastpasses

[Lbg206]

So here's where I am now.....traveling with an eight year old who hates roller coasters/and or drops of any kind. Of these rides at each park which three would you select for your advances FP's?

MK
Peter Pan's Flight
Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Spin
Pirates of the Caribbean (yes, I know the drop but ti's small and she's ok with it)
Winner the Pooh
Little Mermaid
Monsters Inc. Laugh Floor
Dumbo
Aladdin's Flying Carpets
Jungle Cruise
It's a Small World
Mad Tea Party
Philharmagic

My immediate thought is Peter Pan, Pirates, and Buzz Lightyear and then try and make followup FP's for Winnie the Pooh and/or Jungle Cruise. Thoughts?

EPCOT
Spaceship Earth
Figment
Sees with Nemo
Turtle Talk
Mission Space
Test Track
Living with the Land

My thoughts are Test Track for sure, not sure about the other two I should do.

AK
This is where I'm very lost because Everest, Dinosaur, and Flight of Passage are off the table. Is there anything else that needs a Fastpass really except Kilimanjaro Safari of course? I' am definitely doing the Safari and perhaps Na'vi River Journey. What else? She definitely wants to do FOTLK and Kali, do either need a FP?

Any suggestion here would be great. TIA!!!!

I would go with Peter Pan, jungle cruise, and pirates for MK. Definitely Test track and mission space for Epcot. Safari, Na’vi River journey, and Kali for AK.

MK: Peter Pan, Buzz and Jungle Cruise.

Pirates and JC have roughly similar wait times, but the queue is cooler and better for Pirates. Winnie the Pooh can have longish wait times as well, so I'd try to hit that in the morning, along with Dumbo. Save Mickey's Philharmagic and Monster's Laugh Floor for the afternoon.

Epcot before 1:00: Test Track (he's okay with the acceleration on that one?), Spaceship Earth, Living with the Land
Epcot after 1:00: Test Track, Figment, Mission Space Green

In all honesty, it's kind of a crapshoot with the other 2 Epcot selections. But LWTL and SE definitely have longer wait times in the morning/early afternoon hours.

AK: Na'Vi, Safari, Kali

Kali definitely develops long lines, especially in the afternoon. You shouldn't need FP+ for FOTLK.

MK:
I'd pick the rides that normally have a long wait. Peter Pan for sure. Although going through the regular queue is nice because its interactive. Perhaps you can do it twice. Once at rope drop...make sure this is your first ride. Then you can ride it again for your FP. For the other two FP i'd definitely do Little Mermaid (line can be long).....and then perhaps Pirates for your third choice. Although if Mad Tea party has a long wait, maybe that would be best instead of Pirates. Cause pirates line usually isnt too bad. So definitely Peter Pan and Little Mermaid. I was also thinking maybe Jungle Cruise for the third as the wait can be long for that too. I'd basically let her decide which ride she likes most and pick the third based on that.

Epcot:
I'd do Test Track, Mission Space green, and Spaceship Earth.

AK:
You really dont need a FP for FOTLK in my opinion. I'd get one for Kali perhaps. Your choices are good...safari and navi are great choices. I love both.

Thank you for the quick responses so far. Yes, we have talked to her and shown her videos of Test Track and she's fine with the acceleration, quite excited actually. She has no problem with speed or small drops that she doesn't see coming, she just can't handle big lift hills or a long drop. Sounds like I am right on track with AK and Epcot. MK I will keep working on. I appreciate everyone's input!!

MK
Peter Pan's Flight -- I would hit this at rope drop, if you can you will encounter maybe a 10 minute wait. Not worth the FP
Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Spin - You can probably get this as a 4th FP
Pirates of the Caribbean (yes, I know the drop but ti's small and she's ok with it ) I would FP this as it does have long waits at times,
Winner the Pooh - This could be one where you just watch the wait times and try to hit when slow.
Little Mermaid -Usually the wait is pretty short as it is a constantly loading ride.
Monsters Inc. Laugh Floor --
Dumbo It can have long waits
Aladdin's Flying Carpets
Jungle Cruise - Get a FP for this
It's a Small World - Usually a short wait.
Mad Tea Party
Philharmagic

EPCOT
Spaceship Earth - Long waits usually occur earlier in the day as people hit as they are walking in -- so wait until later, but get a FP as it is one of the best rides.
Figment - Save the FP and just wait the 20 minutes or so for this ride
Sees with Nemo Should be an easy one to get on as it is also a constantly loading ride
Turtle Talk It is a show so no real need for a FP -- Just keep an eye out for when the next show is and line up.
Mission Space - Our last trip we had a FP - but never made it to it, but when ever i looked at wait times it was always very low (10 minutes)
Test Track -- A must for a FP as the waits are usually very long
Living with the Land Funny thing with this ride was that we intended on riding without a FP and expected a short wait -- every time i checked the wait was 40-50 minutes, but this was also on a saturday. Our next day at Epcot was a thursday and we were able to ride with about a 15 minute wait -- so it might depend on what day you plan on going.

Maybe see if he will come out of his comfort zone a bit -- most rides at WDW are on the tamer side, not like universal. If it helps your case at all -- My 4DD did every roller coaster at WDW last week --- Everest, Space MT, ToT (too short for RnR but she would have done it) etc. She did much better than i expected and loved every minute of it. She actually complained when we tried to take her on some of the kiddy rides that they were too slow or short. Maybe an easier roller coaster to try would be Mine train -- it is smooth, has a few drops but nothing crazy and it is fairly short.

For MK, I would do PP, Buzz and JC. I like Pirates more than JC, but the JC standby line is usually longer
