Tuesday Magic Kingdom 11/5 9-9
11:10 Jungle Cruise
12:15 Pirates
1:50 Splash Mountain

Ok well Magic Kingdom start is easy. You rush for Seven Dwarf's Mine Train like 80% of the early crowd is going to do. Make sure you look at a map and know where you are going because there are multiple ways to get there(The fastest is a slight right before the castle and then veer left at the tea cups).

After Mine Train you make a mad dash to Peter Pan and hope the line isn't already and hour...and hope the attraction is actually operational. Once this line hits 45m it will only get longer throughout the day and is one of the slowest moving lines in the park with poor operational uptime(And when I rode it this last visit, none of the audio was functioning properly which was a huge disappointment).

Morning in Magic Kindom is going to be a lot of walking, and hopefully again, you got on both of these attractions by 10:15. While Peter Pan and Mine Train are in close proximity, your next destination unfortunately should be Space Mountain, which has this awful location in the back of Tomorrowland(And an exit that is long and will feel like a 10 minute walk).

With those 3 out of the way, you have two big cant-miss attractions left that you don't have a fastpass for, Haunted Mansion and Thunder Mountain, neither of which are anywhere near your current location. But by now crowds will start peaking, so there is no rush to get to either. If it is still early enough, go ahead and knock out a Tomorrowland attraction or two before heading to your Jungle Cruise fastpass(Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Spin, Astro Orbiter, PeopleMover would be my choice recommendations).

Keep an eye on wait times and do not try to get to your Jungle Cruise fastpass at 11:10. Since fastpass windows are an hour long and Jungle Cruise and Pirates are in close proximity, I would advise not using your Jungle Cruise fastpass until around 11:40-11:50 or so, even pushing it out til noon if you'd like. The idea is to ride Pirates immediately after.

Next the schedule will dictate your day. Disney World has 4 parks but for whatever reason is slacking in the parade department, and Festival of Fantasy is the only parade in the whole resort and its only running once that day(2pm). Its a fun Parade and most importantly it has an awesome dragon. So stop and watch it. But most importantly, the Parade route will begin at Frontierland before you go towards Splash Mountain and you have a fastpass running right along the 2pm hour. So you are going to want to grab a spot as close to Frontierland as you can get. Depending on crowds, arrive between 1:30 to 1:45. If the park seems super packed, 1:30. This is a theme park, personal space is at a premium here, if there is space in a premium spot and it seems like all the kids will have no problem seeing, take the spot. Watch the parade, then ride Splash Mountain.

The time between your Pirates fastpass and the parade is free time, do what you want with it depending on how much time you have. I will tell you the lowest priority rides in the park: The Barnstormer(A poorly themed to Goofy small child friendly roller coaster) and the Magic Carpets of Aladdin(These are just Dumbo but these mobile and they make creaky sounds like they are struggling). Avoid these unless you've done literally everything.

Depending on free time and the wait time, you want to ride Thunder Mountain either just before picking up your parade spot(A little risky, but maybe not depending on wait) or after your Splash Mountain fastpass.
