My dd will want to see a lot of the characters. What is worth the fast passes?

She will want to see:
Elsa and Anna
Olaf
Belle
Cinderella
Ariel
Tiana
Merida
Aurora
(REally, all the princesses)
Tinker Bell
Peter pan
Capt. Hook

Do they have:
Sophia the First?
Jake and Neverland Pirates?

I'm hearing Anna and Elsa would need the fast passes, but didn't know if the others were easy access.

Elsa and Anna definitely need a Fastpass.
Olaf isn't meeting anywhere. Yet at least....
Belle would be great to meet inside of Enchanted Tales with Belle (which you will likely want to use a FP for). It's a cute story interaction but she does not sign autographs in there.

Cinderella
Ariel
Tiana
Merida
Aurora usually isn't too busy in France in Epcot. (or at least when we go she is a short line)
(REally, all the princesses)

Have you thought about possibly doing a princess meal to meet some of the princesses?

Capt. Hook doesn't meet outside of special occasions.
 
Captain Hook does meet. He is right next to the Peter Pan ride. We meet him there last September. As for Jake and Sofia they meet at HS right next to Disney Jr Live.

Most of these characters do not have fastpass available for them.

Elsa and Anna - definitely FP this. Be online at midnight when your 60 day window opens to reserve the FP (assuming you are staying onsite). They begin greeting with FP in the MK on April 20.

Olaf - Not a meetable character.

*Belle - No FP available. You can find her with little wait in the French pavillion at Epcot.

*Cinderella - FP available in MK, I wouldn't waste a FP on her though.

Ariel - FP available in MK, I wouldn't waste a FP on her though.

Tiana- No FP available. You can find her behind the Christmas Shop in the MK.

Merida - No FP available. You can find her in the Fairytale Garden at MK, try going at rope drop for the shortest wait.

*Aurora - (and Snow White) available at Fairytale Hall until April 20 as "visiting princesses." After that, will likely only be available in the MK in the evenings after Anna and Elsa stop their greeting.

(REally, all the princesses) - The * princesses above (plus Ariel sometimes and Jasmine) are available at character meals. I'd recommend either Cinderella's Royal Table in Cinderella Castle at the MK or the Princess Storybook meals at Akershus in the Norway pavillion at Epcot.

Tinker Bell - No FP available. Seen in Tinkerbell's Nook in the MK. Soon to move to Town Square Exhibition Hall
Peter pan - Available outside his ride, usually in the morning. No FP available.
Capt. Hook - Check kennythepirate.com. Not a character available everyday.

Do they have:
Sophia the First? - In HS. No FP available.
Jake and Neverland Pirates? - In HS. No FP available.
I believe these two characters are also available at the Hollywood and Vine character breakfast in HS.
 

I plan on booking as many character meals as our plan allows (the one TS one QS).
I'm noticing that the character meals tend to have the same characters.
And she won't be interested in meeting Lilo and Stitch, or the Winnie the Pooh characters.

But I'm planning Cinderella's Royal Table (I'm hearing this requires TWO of my TS options?), Akershus, Tusker, 1900 Park Fare.
Any other suggestions?
 
Hollywood and Vine breakfast at HS is good for the Disney Junior characters (Jake, Sophia, Doc McStuffin, and Handy Manny)

Yes, CRT requires 2 TS credits. I'd probably only do one of CRT or Akershus. Maybe do Akershus so your DD can see Belle in her yellow dress, then do the 1900 PF dinner so she can meet Cinderella, Prince Charming, the Stepmother, and Stepsisters.

Your experience is extremely unusual. He does not have scheduled M&Gs (outside of parties) in the parks anymore--not for years now.

OP - the green link in my signature will help you prioritize FPs, including all those for characters.
 
If you want Captain Hook book the pirates cruise which goes from the contemporary hotel. You will meet Captain Hook, see and Peter Pan.
They are also in the festival of fantasy parade.
Kenny the pirate is a good web site for characters.

Did you mean to miss rapunzel off the list? She will meet with Cinderella at mk from 20th April. Fp recomended.
 
Don't forget about Characterpalooza in DHS! Good opportunity to meet several characters, including princesses, with absolutely no wait. The unfortunate thing is you can't guarantee which characters will be present,but in our visit we saw: Minnie, Chip and Dale, Stitch, Gipetto (sp?), Belle, Jasmine, Queen of Hearts, Queen from Snow White,Max, the little girl from Toy Story (I think)
