Fastpass day is Sunday!!! We'll be there Christmas - NY day, so peak crowds & I'm in analysis paralysis! It will be just me & my 5 year old DS, he is afraid of anything fast...so we won't be riding 7DMT or Space Mountain.
Current hours show a 9am open, so I'm planning on that but definitely hoping for morning EMH! If everything stays as is, we have a PPO at BOG & my plan is to ride Peter Pan first. Here's what we have on our hope-to-do list after PP:
Small World
Pooh
Tea Party
Under the Sea
Meet Ariel
Dumbo
Characters at Pete's
Astro Orbiter, if the line's not too crazy long. Totally fine skipping it.
People Mover
CoP
Buzz

I'm thinking FP's for Pooh, Ariel meet, Buzz. Thoughts??? We've been during July 4th crowds, but I'm sure this will be much different & I'm just not sure how much we can plan on getting done for the day & what times to schedule our FP. I welcome your comments & ideas!
 
I think you've picked some good ones. Out of your list of attractions, I'd definitely get a Buzz one. (That used to be so easy to get, but the last couple of trips, it was harder for some reason and that's one of our faves).
If you think your DS will love PP and might want to do it 2x, maybe consider grabbing one for that and you can always shift it to one of the others if he doesn't want to do it again. We've had pretty good luck getting Pooh day of after we finished our first 3 FPs.

Also, as an aside, our last two trips (New Years week 2019 and in August), People Mover had some long lines!

Happy planning and I hope you have a great trip! :)
 
I'd recommend grabbing one for PP to do it a second time, because that one packs up very quickly due to the low rider capacity. Enchanted Tales with Belle is another good choice, in my opinion.
 

The only thing about Pooh is that my kids had a great time waiting in line - there were a bunch of things that kept them busy so it didn't just feel like waiting!
True, very good point! Last time we rode Pooh was during EMM & he was bummed that we rushed right through that part.
 
Will you be outside those two lands at all? I would get for PP, buzz, and HM/Pirates if you’re planning on either of those, using your rope drop time to hit up the less busy Fantasyland attractions starting with Pooh. A good FP choice could also be the speedway if you’re planning it, that’s a brutal line.
 
You will definitely want the FP for Buzz. Probably the tomorrow land speedway too, if your son is anything like mine. I would probably grab the FP for Pooh too and plan on letting him burn off some steam in the Dumbo play area.
 
Another Speedway vote. My son LOVES it and the line is very boring. Buzz is also a good recommendation since the lines over there have been disproportionately long.
 
I'd still do an FP for PP, just because you never know when they'll change the opening time and your PPO is during park hours.
