This year I have the added bonus of pre-booking rides at Disney using FastPass+ 60 days in advance but which rides to book?

Which would you suggest are the 3 essential rides to pre-book at each Disney Park?

Magic Kindom
Animal Kingdom
Hollywood Studios
Epcot

Don't forget you have to factor in tiering. So while I agree with the above that the three Epcot rides are the ones worth FPing, they're all Tier 1 so you can only choose one per day. I would choose Test Track, since it goes down a lot due to weather/tech issues and if you have a FP for it when that happens, you can usually get a return anytime pass. Although personally I would do single rider at TT because then I can skip the car design bit.

Anyway, I don't think anything is essential to everyone. I could recommend the mountains of MK but if you hate coasters or water rides, that's going to be a waste of time. At the other end of the scale, I could recommend character meets since their lines get pretty long (especially the princess ones) but if you don't care about those, it's a bit pointless.

It sounds like you've been before, so what rides did you enjoy the most? I'd FP those unless they are ones that rarely get a line so would be wasting a FP. Although probably the one almost universally agreed worth a FP ride is Flight of Passage. Very long queues and I rarely see someone not loving it.

Hi, thanks for the info as much appreciated. It will be 6 years since we last went to the Disney parks and then the kids were a lot younger so bit out of touch as to whats new, whats changed etc.

Last time round we loved Soarin, Test Track, Animal Kingdom Safari & Exhibition Everest and we like coasters although not 100% what my youngest will think as he's a work in progress when it comes to coasters :-) We are definitely not interested in the character meets this time round. DD will be 12 and DS will be 9.
