There is a chance we can do a VIP tour during our trip in March. 5 adults 1 child (DD age 3).

Some facts about the tour and the day we are going.

You get FP access for any ride with FP, you can wait on regular lines if you want for rides or meet and greats with out FP (we probably won’t we will save these for another day). We can use EMH and go on rides via FP.

AK has EMH in the morning which is at 8, and we plan to use that for Pandora, then we plan to go to Epcot just for Frozen and then to MK, goals are Mine Train, Peter Pan, Winnie the Pooh, Under the Sea Journey, Barnstormer (if DD wants to ride) Haunted Mansion and maybe talking Mickey.

If you could have a VIP tour what would you plan? Looking for suggestions to alter my plans and also see what other people value high on there priority lists. Also just for fun!
 
We do two VIP tours each trip. Previously, we did EP/DHS on one day and MK on another. Then, Pandora opened and a bunch of things shut down at DHS, so we revised. On both days, we start at AK and do Na'vi, FoP, EE, KS. We then go to Epcot for the headliners and finish at DHS with Star Tours and TSMM. I book dinner at Hollywood Brown Derby on this day so we're ending the day in the park we're eating in. The second day, we head to MK after AK and spend the day there doing just about everything!
 
If those are your MK plans, I would ditch the guide early (after leaving Epcot) and just book FPs for 7DMT, PP and another ride of your choice. Almost everything else can be done with a short-to-medium wait, and you won't be spending $$$/hour to do them.

We did a VIP tour a few years ago (just my family of 4)and are lucky enough to get to do one again during Spring break. This time, we will be joined by my brother's family, so 4 adults, 2 older teens and a 7 &9 year old. We are starting early to take advantage of EMH at AK, but if I didn't care about riding FOP a few times, I'd opt to start the tour later to take advantage of VIP fireworks viewing. This is our plan for now (subject to change):

AK 8am (EMH) Pandora, EE
Epcot- Soarin, TT, Mission Space
HS- Rnrc, ToT, Star Tours, TSMM (if open)
MK- SDMT, BTMRR, Space, Splash, meet Micky for group picture, possible end with parade- brother's family has never seen the parade.

From my memory, two years ago we did this:

Picked upat 8:30
Epcot- TT, Frozen, met Anna & Elsa,Soarin
HS- RNRC x2, ToT, TSMM, Star Tours, met the two Star Wars characters- they don't have FP+, but we had a preset time.
MK- Space x2, Buzz, SDMT, HM, POTC, Splash, PP, we ended with VIP afternoon parade viewing. We chose to end after the parade and we were driven back to our resort.

Thank you! I am thinking of ending with parade viewing and based on what you have here I could also add Soarin to Epcot and still have time to make the parade, and get a bunch of things done in MK.

We have more MK days so I’m ok if we don’t do everything we will probably skip space in the trip all together but want to do Buzz but since it’s on the other side of the park I thought doing that a different MK day is better.
 
We didn't want to waste time stopping for lunch; just grabbed a snack along the way. They also had snacks and water for us backstage at HS & MK.

We enjoyed the parade viewing. It gave us a great view of the high floats, especially the dragon.
