Is that the order you plan on doing the rides or just the list of rides you want to do? Don't forget about jumpin' jellyfish near little mermaid!
 
Day 1 - I believe Indy has a single-rider line, so it may not be necessary to get a FP if only one person is riding it.

Day 2 - you've got a lot of criss-crossing of CA. I would do the fun wheel while I was still on the pier that morning, wouldn't go to Little Mermaid until I was done with the pier either. Basically, I would follow this order:
Soarin'
WOC FP
Pier rides
Little Mermaid
Bug's Land
Turtle Talk

Day 3 - I question the order. I would definitely do Nemo before EO, probably before Buzz as well.

Day 4 - the Tangled Meet and Greet is in Fantasyland, near the exit of the Pinnochio ride. It generally has a pretty long line. Check your times guide; when we were there last week it didn't open until 11:00, so that wouldn't work with your reservation at Ariel's.

If you do decide to ride Jumpin' Jellyfish, check the height requirement for the 3-yr-old.

This is great advice. I would agree with this, plus...

Day 1- No Peter Pan? :confused3 Also you'll want to see the Princesses ASAP. That line can get pretty long. I think the Princess Fantasy Faire opens an hour after the park (same time as Toontown). If both PFF and Toontown were important, I'd do PFF first.

Day 3- Same thing with Pixie Hollow. That line can get LONG! Do it after Nemo and Buzz in the morning. Captain EO never has a line more than 1 show's length.

Also you might want to include Jungle Cruise and Monster's Inc. to the list. Places like Pirate's Lair and Redwood Creek Challenge Trail are also great for the kids to run around and explore.
 
Thank you all! I had reviewed DL on Map but threw Mickey's wheel in DCA day without checking where it was located.
Maybe we will do princesses 1st in day 3 then ride rides.
I had monsters inc. I don't know how it was left off!
Thanks again! I really want to max my time but still take it slower with 2 small kiddos

Do Monsters after Turtle Talk - they're in the same area and the wait for Monsters is never long.
