Help with MK fastpass choices

[buzz1fan]

I've been reading about the new fast pass and I am not sure how I should schedule my 3. We have an 815 crystal palace breakfast so we will be in the park at 9. We are a family of 4, boys will be 10 and 7.

My husband and 10 yr old would like to ride thunder mountain. Not sure what me and ds7 will do.

We normally go to buzz lightyear in the am and around adventure land. We leave lunch time and come back at night and go back to futureland and fantasy land. I like fantasy land late at night seems less busy.

Musts for us are

Buzz light year- normally do am and pm.
Speedway
Pooh ride
Small world
Thunder mountain - 2 of us
Pirates of car
Splash mountain- possibly
Philmagic
Monsters inc
I want to try new mermaid
Mine ride( if open going June 14)
Dumbo.


Any suggestions of when we should do are fast passes and what times? If we can get more than 3 for afternoon that would be helpful.

Thanks

If I were in your shoes, I'd find out what the must-do ride is for each child and FP those for after your return to the park from break. If they double up on their must-do (like if 2 of them say Space is their fave), I'd pick one of my must-do's as the third FP.

If you have two in the same land (i.e. Mine Train and Mermaid) I would book them back-to-back, arrive at the first one closer to the end of its window so you can basically go right to the other one afterwards because that one's window will be open or soon to open.

From your list, I would think the mountains and Mine Train are going to be smart choices to FP. Check out Mesaboy's FP+ informational thread: http://disboards.com/showthread.php?t=3143281

Now, if they roll out the ability to obtain more FP's after using your first three FPs and you want to get in on that, I'd be keeping an eye out for that news and reconsider moving my FP's to more towards 11-1 p.m. timeframe.

Thanks for the advice. Maybe if fast pass stays the same I will get them for the evening. Or one around 11 then 2 after dinner.
