I think it changes. When DD was young, it was Dumbo (tried to beat the crowds). Now, we typically get a FP for Space Mountain, then head to BTMRR or Splash Mountain.
Since this trip will be our first time with smallies I can only answer based on previous adult only trips. DH usually likes to run and get FP for Space Mountain and then we'll do Philharmagic! while waiting on our turn for Space Mountain. This time we'll have DS1 with us so I think our first port of call will be something like the carousel or IASW just to ease him into things
When Dumbo was behind the castle, it was Dumbo. Now, it depends. If we will be spending more than one day in MK, our first day we do Fantasyland first, which makes the first ride Peter Pan.
We don't even have a ride that we have to ride 1st. I'm guessing this year it'll be space mountain though. We all love it. DD would rather to splash mountain but since it'll be morning it'll probably be too cold. I vowed to never ride that again after what happened last year, lol. I've never rode in the front and my lovely kids lied to me to get me to ride up front by telling me you don't really get wet. Well sitting in front is like dipping yourself in a pool.
