Fast pass help
We are ready to book our fast passes. I'm confused on how to do it though. I haven't been to Disneyworld in many, many years. We plan to go to MK for two days. I don't remember how big it is. We've been to Disneyland but I know that's much smaller. Do we book fast passes for all over the park or concentrate on one half one day and the other half another day?
This is so stressful!

Might I suggest easywdw.com. Great site. Josh has great cheat sheets. Tells you what order to do rides, what to FP, what time to schedule them for.

You can easily do them all over the park, it's not that big, just packed with stuff. You only get 3 per day so I would just schedule the 3 busiest rides. How old are your kids?
I would recommend Peter Pan's Flight (the line is always long and slow moving), Tomorrowland Speedway if your kids want to ride (soo slow moving) , and the 7 Dwarf's Mine Train if your kids are tall enough (38" I believe?). I would also do Thunder Mountain Railroad, Splash Mountain and Space Mountain if your kids are ready for those.

Re: Fast pass help
Great, thank you for the website -has some great things.
Kids are 9&6. I've booked Peter Pan, Small World (more because of the experience of the song), Mine Train and the second time we go Buzz Lightyear, Speedway in Tomorrowland, Pirates of the Carribbean.
They are both boys so we don't have to do the whole princess thing.
My older son is probably ready for the bigger/roller coasters but not sure of the little one and myself and DH don't like rides! lol

Re: Fast pass help
I would dump its a small world and pirates. You really don't need FPs for those. You are wasting you FPs. I would get one for splash mountain and jungle cruise instead. The small world and pirates do not get huge lines and after you use your three you can get a 4th etc. you would have no problems getting either of those two rides anytime. Whereas mind car, buzz, tomorrow land, jungle etc all get longer lines so a FP is worth having.

ITA. 
Especially It's a Small World.........that ride is never, ever busy in the ten zillion times I've been at Disney. I wouldn't waste a FP.

I would not do big thunder over splash mountain. More kids prefer splash over big thunder if they are not into roller coasters.

I agree 100%.
I am going to Disney soon and have 2 boys aged 9 and 7 (just turned 7)). I did Splash Mountain, Big Thunder and Enchanted Tales with Belle one day (also have a 3 year old daughter and we never did that so doing that one as a family did other FP for me and her while boys are on the bigger rides). The 2nd day we are FP'ing Peter Pan, Dwarf Train and Space Mountain.
My boys favorite rides in MK are Splash Mount and Big Thunder and Space Mountain. My 7 year old didn't love space mountain when he was 5 and we last went but wants to try it again this year now that he just turned 7. My younger son loooves Big Thunder so we did that and hope to do a child swap so they can do it again. His 2nd fave ride is Splash Mountain.
Just read your last post about the your son may not loves roller coasters so my stuff may not work for you....but I would recommend Buzz then esp if they have never been there. That's a fun ride and always has a wait! Also - I hate Roller Coasters but Big Thunder isn't one with big drops - it is just fast around a track. My younger son has done it since he was little. This is one I'll do with him - no problem.

Exact opposite for us. My daughter loves Space and Thunder, but does NOT like the big drop on Splash at all

Interesting. It isn't just for us but most of the people we know with kids that age. They all hated space bc it hurt and threw them around and none liked to be in front or behind a parent. In fact my 5 year old loved expedition Everest and got a lot of high fives from people around us but came off space crying saying it hurt. Plus the dark is not for everyone. Big thunder is hit or miss. The drop on splash can be intimidating but the rest is a boat ride so people who did like roller coasters liked that better. Even my terrified (at the time almost 7 yr old) who won't go on 90% of things bc of motion sickness and fear loves splash...lol so I guess yo are right.
