Speed passes can be a good thing, however they are for specific time frames per ride. I brought my 8 year old and got the speed pass. We were in line over an hour for one ride. That ended that idea And bring extra water!
You can get free fast passes on Disney app in advance, but I think children's ride should be fine
Children rides are not that bad with lines. Bigger rides you can get the free fast passes.
If u have another adult rider with u, u can get extra fast pass ticket with rider swap on the bigger rides.
Yes you should matters on time of the year you go
I would definitely get fast pass, you can pick 3 and zip through the lines because we all know kids are not big on waiting. Once you get done with those 3 you can jump back on the app and pick one at a time.
