Re imagined Epcot attractions for which you preferred the original version:

Test Track
Soarin'
Frozen Ever After/Maelstrom

kraysister · Posted: Wed Jan 22, 2020 6:06 pm Post subject:

Fastpass: Maelstrom
Standby: Test Track
Skip: Soarin' (I love both, they should film more & interchange them a la Star Tours)

what can you more easily not let bother you?
Long lines
Very hot weather
Favorite ride closed for refurbishment

Fast pass: Favorite attraction closed for refurb (a downer, but a necessary one)
Standby: Hot weather
Skip: Long lines (disclaimer: I don't mind long lines when they are outside. The noise generated by hundreds of guests trying to talk louder than everyone around them inside in a queue is horrible to me. Really feel for the CM's in those. Especially Seven Dwarfs mine train. That one seems noisier than the others.)

Would you prefer:
Unlimited fast passes for your favorite (1) attraction in each park
Unlimited fast passes for all attractions in (1) park
10 fast passes daily to use as you wish, in any park

Fastpass: 10 FP daily to use in any park
Standby: unlimited FP for my favorite attraction in each park
Skip: unlimited FP for all attractions in 1 park (I'm a park hopper kind of girl!)

Barbeque restaurants to tempt your tastebuds -
Flame Tree Barbeque (AK)
Hoop-de-Doo Musical Revue (Fort Wilderness)
Polite Pig (Disney Springs)

Hopefully, Regal Eagle (American pavilion EPCOT) and/or Roundup Rodeo BBQ (Toy Story land) will be open on my next trip.

Fast pass: Hoop De Doo
Standby: Polite Pig
Skip: Flame Tree (love Flame Tree and eat there every trip, but I've never made it to either of the other two and REALLY want to!)

The biggest challenge I have when planning a Disney trip is:

Picking out which attractions for which to get fast passes
Picking out the restaurants for my ADR's
Picking out which days for which park

Hope they're open for your trip too. Late August for you, if I remember right?

kraysister · Posted: Fri Jan 24, 2020 2:55 pm Post subject:

Yup! 3rd week in Aug, can't wait!!

Fastpass: picking out the attractions for FPs. I understand why a tier system is needed, but don't 100% agree with how it's divided.
Standby: picking out restaurants for my ADRs. Always like to try a new place if possible, which can be hard to get, which can conflict with FPs
Skip: which days for which park, kind of sorts itself once ADRs and FPs are selected.

Fun way to see EPCOT laser show/fireworks
Dessert party, perfectly timed dinner at Rose & Crown, from a boat underneath the walkway between the UK and France (bring your own snacks/drinks)

schinkus98 · Posted: Sat Jan 25, 2020 10:03 am Post subject:

Fast pass: Rose and Crown (we had reservations for the IllumNations package here last year, then Hurricane Dorian happened. Hopefully this year it works!)

Standby: Dessert party (done a couple of times, love the "Frozen" glasses that turn all the fireworks into big snowflakes!)

Skip: The boat between UK and France

Non US based Disney attractions you want to experience:

Hyperspace Mountain - Disneyland Paris
Journey to the Center of the Earth - Tokyo DisneySea

Standby: POTC: Battle for the Sunken Treasure (Shanghai)

Not that I'd skip any of these.

schinkus98 · Posted: Mon Jan 27, 2020 9:01 am Post subject:

Standby: Gonzo
Skip: Grandmother Fa
