The BIG plus for me would be getting a TSM XP in advance so I don't have to rush there at opening, or I can rush there at opening for standby and not have to mess with the FP line, too. I can also see XPing RnR so I can more easily ride 2 times in a row.

At MK, I could XP a couple of attractions to extend our day beyond lunch and take a more leisurely approach to morning.

At AK, I would XP Everest and Dinosaur so I could do one of the first safaris and then not worry about rushing anywhere else.

Epcot, I would definitely XP Soarin so I could do it regardless of what time we enter the park, and I might XP Test Track for more flexible planning.

Beyond that, I don't have huge FP/XP needs. The biggest challenge to me is confirming in advance which day will be which park. At most, we usually work it out to "Well, on Monday, we'll do either this or that" and then make up our minds Sunday night.

with the part about TSMM Xpass. The only ride we really need a fast pass is TSMM. We ususally go during slower times and at RD so we can do whatever we need during the hours we are in the park. That ride is insanely hard to do as it fills up so fast and cannot move the amounts of people thru as quickly as needed. The layout is not built for large numbers of people. Maybe they did not expect it to be as popular as it is. Although they should have given that park doesn't have much in it.
