We have been to Disneyland a few times, but this is our first trip to WDW, so we have no idea what to expect for rides times. We are also going during the last week of March, so it is going to be crazy busy. And now they're thrown FP+ into the mix...oh dear :headache:

If anyone could look over my FP+ plans and let me know if I should changes times or rides, that would be super helpful!

Hollywood Studios (Sunday, March 23):
Star Tours, 12:00-1:00
Tower of Terror, 4:10-5:10
Toy Story Midway Mania, 5:10-6:10

The only other ride we were considering getting a fastpass for is the Great Movie Ride. Does that ride have lines that are longer than Star Tours or Tower of Terror?

Animal Kingdom (Monday, March 24):
Kilimanjaro Safaris, 4:00-5:00
Kali River Rapids, 2:30-3:30
Expedition Everest, 11:00-12:00

I am considering swapping the Safari for Dinosaur. Ideally, we would like to ride the Safari first thing in the morning, when the animals are most active, but we can't guarantee that we will get there for rope drop, especially with the morning EMH at 8am. When do the lines start to build for the Safari? What is the best time to ride it standby? Is it worth it to get a FP For Dinosaur? Also, we have a 6:00 dinner reservation at Jambo. If we keep the Safari FP and get in line at 4 exactly, would we still be able to get to our reservation?

Magic Kingdom (Tuesday, March 25):
Big Thunder Mountain, 2:05-3:05
Space Mountain, 5:00-6:00
Splash Mountain, 1:05-2:05

I was also considering Peter Pan's Flight. Are there any of the coasters that might have a shorter wait time that Peter Pan's Flight? I know in DL that Peter Pan has a solid line all day, but you can occasionally catch Big Thunder around 20-30 minutes.

EPCOT (Wednesday, March 26):
Soarin', 11:00-12:00

Not really sure what to do with our other two fastpasses. We probably won't go on Mission Space, and as far as I'm aware, none of the other tier 2 rides need a fastpass. Also, we picked Soarin' instead of Test Track because we thought the lines for Test Track might be a little shorter. Is this true?
 
I do not think you should switch any of your FP to The Great Movie Ride. This can get a wait going, but it won't compare to Toy Story or Tower or Terror, especially during spring break season.

I think you should leave AK as is unless you think you will be there for RD. Then you could switch the safari to dinosaur. The safari is popular and will get a longer SB line as the day goes on.

MK leave alone, unless you will be there for RD. Then you could do Peter Pan's Flight then. We go during slow seasons and PP always has a 60min+ wait. This was also before the New Fantasyland, so now that may be different since other attractions are more popular.

Compared to Soarin' Test Track will have a shorter wait. Best if you could get there early and ride TT in the SB line. During our last two trips I never saw the TT line under 75-80 min. That being said, Soarin' SB line exceeds that always.
