Disneyland Park
Peter Pan's Flight* (queue times can get very long)
Dumbo the Flying Elephant
Mad Hatter's Tea Cups
Le Carrousel de Lancelot
Princess Pavilion
Buzz Lightyear Laser Blast*
Orbitron - Machines Volantes
Star Wars Hyperspace Mountain*

Walt Disney Studios Park
Crush's Coaster*
Ratatouille: L'Aventure Totalement Toquée de Rémy*
Rock 'n' Roller Coaster starring Aerosmith*(since you mentioned thrill rides)

For fastpasses, you can only hold 1 active fastpass at any given time, so you can use a fastpass and then go get another. Generally the bigger rides (big thunder mountain, hyperspace mountain etc) tend to go quickly.

I'm not sure if the fastpass systems are online during EMH so that you can get on a ride fastpass as soon as the park fully opens or not - perhaps somebody else can verify this

Thanks for this it's a really comprehensive reply. I've looked at the ride closures list and it seems that Buzz is going to be closed for our trip...I'm not sure either if us will be that fussed as we tend to find both of our lasers are broken in wdw as we never seem to get very high scores

I think we will prioritise space mountain and crush in their parks and then go on from there.

These all get really big queues later on. You could also use the time to do some character meets although the queues for this tend to be quite long even first thing.

*Depending on when your half term in you may find that Buzz Lightyear is closed for your dates - I am looking at going back with my 11 year old Daughter from 18-22 February and it's closed the entire time.

For WDS it seems to vary from day to day what's open for EMT, when we went a couple of weeks ago we had:

Crushes Coaster
Ratatouille
Parachute Drop
RC Racer
Slinky Dog
Cars Ride

I've also known ToT and RnR to be open during WDS EMT. Out of all of these Crush and Ratatouille are the most popular. Although as your Daughter is over 8 you and her could do single rider on Ratatouille which will save you so much time.

The fastpass machines do not open until 10am and as the PP said you can get genreally only get one fastpass slot at a time, the exception to this is when your slot is really far away and then it will have a note at the bottom confirming the time when you can get another.

The Fastpasses for BTM and Peter Pan tend to go the quickest, they're normally all gone by Midday. Other rides such as Star Tours and Indiana Jones tend to be avaliable much longer.

I hadn't realised that the attractions open may change each day in EMH, so this is interesting.

Also thanks for letting me know about the FP machines not opening until 10 am. This is good to know as we can just get on with stuff until then and sort out FP tickets later. I'm going to make sure we grab BTM and Peter Pan early if they run out. Thanks so much for letting me know.

We were there at the weekend and we went straight for Crush in EMH, waited about 20 mins and planned to get a FP for Ratatouille but it was actually only a 15 min wait so we just went on instead. When we came off the offsite guests had come in and RT was 55 min and Crush was 75 min!

Thanks, it feels like I'm getting a plan together, Well stealing all these helpful ideas... Crush is going straight to the top of the list, then Ratatouille.

Do any of you know if once the window for your FP is open you can then grab another before doing the ride...so if I get a FP for BTM when it's our time slot before we go to btm ride can we pick up a FP for another attraction...or do we actually have to use the FP before we can get another for a different attraction? I hope this makes sense...I'm hopeful that if it is open then we can get another before riding the open FP.
