Help with DL Touring Plan

[pinkgirlmommy]

I was wondering if anyone here is good at Touring Plans? We are going on our first trip to DL, and DD is going to be in a workshop the first morning we are at DL, so I am trying to make a TP for the morning where we ride the rides that are less important to her and then do all of her must do's after she arrives. My plan is to get her around 10:30 for our 10:40 breakfast reservation at Minnie's breakfast for my other daughters birthday. It is tough because it is our first and only full day at DL, and it is my other daughter's birthday, so I want it to be magical! It is for Wednesday, June 29. We will have another 1/2 day there at the end of our trip to catch up on anything we miss, but we really want to try to ride what we think will be our favorites the first day. I also want to see characters as much as possible, possibly in the morning instead of some of the rides, so any character tips would be appreciated. I figure we will cover a bunch at the breakfast! She will definitely miss Peter Pan and we are fine with that since we can ride it at WDW. I am wanting to leave the park pretty close to right after the parade, but is there a spot we can watch the parade close to BTMRR? Also, is there something posted with the Parade route? I am hoping we can catch it and then run to BTMRR on our way out. I know all of these plans need to be flexible based on FP return times, but it gives me a guide. I am thinking we could do Matterhorn instead of Nemo in the afternoon for our second time with my older DD. The other option is in the morning when older DD is not with us, My stepson and I could grab a child swap if my 7 year old does not want to ride it and then he could ride it by himself and I could ride later with my older DD? I am not sure how Child Swap works here. How many people can use it for the return?

Anyone have any feedback on this please? Especially the evening! Thanks!

The parade does not go near BTMRR. It goes from Small World passed the Matterhorn and to Main Street. I believe it's marked on the map if you look online, but maybe it's only marked on the actual map you get at the park.

Rider Swap is 3-riders I believe. But there is also a single rider line. You wouldn't get the pass to use later, but he could get right on that time of day using the single rider line.
