Disney Magic Kingdom intinerary, newbie any advice appreciated
We are doing one day in MK, first time since I was a kid lol
We are doing character breakfast at Ohama at 7:35 then heading to MK.
I tried to space out our fast passes so that we could spend sometime in each area, do you think I left enough time? should I space it more or less?
9:50-10:50- Jungle cruise in Adventureland
11:55-12:55 Peter pan Flight in Fantasyland
2:45-3:45- Buzz Light year rangerspin in Tommorowland
in between we plan to take our almost 4 year old son on other rides....it seems like most things he would like age wise are in Fantasyland so I alotted the most time there....
any input?

When are you going? Whether or not you have time to actually ride other rides depends on when you are going. Some lines move very slowly in the Summer. But, you can always change the subsequent FP times on your phone if you aren't sure you will make it over to the next FP on time.

Try to get there as soon as possible after breakfast. Don't linger too long at breakfast. Those early morning hours are the best as far as short lines.
Here's what I would do:
Magic Carpets (if you're there early enough)
Jungle Cruise
Pirates
Magic Carpets (if you didn't already)
Haunted Mansion (if your DS won't be scared)
It's a Small World (if time before PP FP, otherwise do after PP)
Peter Pan
Carousel
Winnie the Pooh
Dumbo
Teacups
*You'll probably need a snack break in there somewhere
Speedway
Buzz
Astro Orbiter
You'll probably be pooped after all that, but if you still have energy you could go back to Fantasyland and try some other things like the Barnstormer or Little Mermaid ride or do some character meets.
Of course, this really depends on what time of year you are going too. I generally allot 30 minutes per ride including wait and ride time, but we go don't go when it's super busy.
For me, the first ride I'd cut would be the carousel b/c you can ride those anywhere. There's nothing particularly special about the disney one, imo.

The times look fine.
Is that the only day you have to do the Ohana breakfast? JMHO, but if you are willing to get up that early, I would spend that time getting an early start at MK and try to do the breakfast another day.

The character breakfast at Crystal Palace at the end of Main Street is DELICIOUS and enables you to get an early start at MK if you can get an early seating there. We loved it!!! The characters were the Winnie the Pooh crew which was okay but the food was really yummy.

That is probably what I would do. Ohana dinner has no characters, FYI.
Another thing you could do, if you definitely want to do a character dining experience, is try to book a character lunch. You've got a little bit of a gap between your 2nd and 3rd FPs anyway, and it's during a time that will be very hot and heavy crowds anyway. You might appreciate sitting down in air conditioning for an hour to eat. Crystal Palace is inside MK but you could also do Chef Mickey's, just a short walk or monorail ride away at the Contemporary.

Gotcha. We haven't done CP either for the same reasons - DS has no interest in its characters.
If you wanted CM (or whatever) and it's booked definitely try again as it gets closer. Lots of people cancel and change things around, and looking last minute has been successful for a lot of people.
