I decide how many days I would like to use my pre bookable fast passes on first of all. So for fourteen days I might do two in Epcot, three in AK, four in HS and five in MK. In reality I might park hop and do more trips to each park but the only bit I preplan is the first park of the day for the advance fastpasses.

I book fastpasses for MK and Epcot for my first two days as the popular fastpasses are hardest to get in AK and HS, so I leave then until at least day three of my trip. I then pick my days per park pretty much at random, although I do aim to alternate them fairly evenly. I have no use of busy day guides, as far as I can tell, different ones say different things. I don’t believe I have ever been disadvantaged by not using them.

The only time I have ever really taken notice of what day I go to what park was when I went during MNSSHP season, then it made sense to go to MK during the day when a party was scheduled for the evening.

Once I have allocated my day to a particular park, I will think about what ADRs I want and slot them in according to where I am planning to be.

I book our advance fast passes on the rides which are hardest to get fast passes for, even repeating them. So for example I have Flight of Passage booked for each of my Animal Kingdom days. I think this makes more sense than trying to cover as many different rides as possible, because fastpasses for other rides are more easily picked up on the day and / or will have a shorter standby queue.

I am not sure what rides would be considered scary at Disney, they all seem pretty tame to me and it doesn’t have many I would describe as roller coasters either. Anyway as an onsite guest you will have your pick of any fast passes you want other than for the first couple of days when you will struggle to get 7DMT, Flight of passage, Slinky Dog Dash, Smugglers Run and Minnie & Mickey train.

I generally book fastpasses for 10am, 11am and midday. This allows plenty of time to get additional ones afterwards. I sometimes start later if I have a nice breakfast or brunch booked.
