Below are the ride/attractions that we plan to see with our 5 and 8 year olds in Mid-May. The ones that we are planning/hoping to book fast passes for are in red. I am wondering what times you recommend that we book the fast passes. We definitely don't want to rush from ride to ride and not be able to experience Disney magic and we plan to do quick service for lunch/dinner but also don't want to spend more time in lines than what we need to so any recommendations are much appreciated! Thanks!! :)

1-FANTASYLAND:
PETER PANS FLIGHT- rope drop
ENCHANTED TALES WITH BELLE
PRICE CHARMING REGAL CARROUSEL
MICKEYS PHILHARMAGIC
IT’S A SMALL WORLD
UNDER SEA MERMAID?
MANY ADVENTURES OF POOH?

2-TOMORROWLAND:
TOMORROWLAND SPEEDWAY
MONSTERS INC LAUGH FLOOR
DISNEY CAROUSEL OF PROGRESS

FRONTIERLAND:
COUNTRY BEAR JAMBOREE

4-AVENTURELAND:
JUNGLE CRUISE
ENCHANTED TIKI ROOM
LIBERTY SQUARE:
THE MUPPETS… AMERICAN HISTORY- EVERY 1/2 Hrish
 
I would do 9-10 for ETWB and 10-11 for Speedway--some of the things you list are anytime attractions (especially Philharmagic, Carousel of Progress, Monsters Inc, Country Bear Jamboree, Tiki Room) that might be better to move later in the day when it's busy elsewhere.

I like to get more FP so would suggest 11-12 for Jungle Cruise, and try to get on the later end of that window.

I'd try for Pooh right after PP, that line builds rapidly.
 
Definitely agree with PP on doing Pooh right after Peter Pan.

None of the rest of your non-FP attractions will really need a FP, so I don't think getting a 4th FP is important for your plan.

Consequently I would probably get the Belle FP in the 9:30-10:30 range (would advise you to do Peter Pan, Pooh, and Small World before doing Belle).

Finishing out Fantasyland (Under the Sea, PhilHarmagic, and Carousel) might take you until about 11:00, at which time you might want to grab an early lunch (lines much shorter at 11am than at noon, for example).

Then on to Tomorrowland with Speedway FP scheduled, for, say 11:30-12:30. And by the time you get to Frontierland and Adventureland, a 1:30-2:30 FP for Jungle Cruise might be about right.

You definitely have the right 3 choices for your FPs (given that you are doing Peter Pan at Rope Drop, also a good choice).
 
10-11, 11-12, 12-1. Those rides won’t have long lines the first hour of the day, but you want them early so you can get later FP+.
 

If I were you, I'd get a 10am FP for peter pan and skip the fastpass for Belle (the lines for belle are usually not more than 20-30 minutes, whereas for Peter Pan, the line is often quite long even for rope droppers). Then 11am Speedway, and 12:30 or 1pm Jungle Cruise so you have time for lunch beforehand.

Question, I see your list does not include any of the "thrill" rides that your 5 year old would likely be height eligible for (e.g., Seven Dwarves, splash mountain). If you wanted any coasters or splash mountain, though, I highly recommend a FP. Also, Pirates of the Caribbean can be a good "bonus" fast pass after your first three and is not a very fast ride if you are trying to avoid those.
