Fastpass: Text Track (it's so cool to do at night)
Standby: Soarin' (usually a short line)
Skip: Spaceship Earth (HA! I'd never skip this)

You're flying into Orlando!
Early am flight & hit a park immediately
Later in the day, check in, grab dinner & hit a park 1st thing the next morning
Don't care , I'm looking for the best fare.

If you don't have them, the Ziploc space saver bags (no vacuum needed) are fantastic.

Fast pass: Fly as early as possible - don't usually have this option, as we generally fly after I get off work on Saturdays.
Standby: Later in the day, and hit a park at ropedrop. Usually land in Orlando after midnight.
Skip: Look for cheapest fare available

Epcot Quick Service:
Tangierine Cafe
La Cantina De San Angel
Lotus Blossom Cafe

We've been using the big Ziploc bags for years-saves a ton of space. We put a day's clothes in each bag. Great system for me, as I'm usually up while Shannon's still sleeping. I just grab a bag instead of having to find a shirt, socks, etc. in the dark.

Truly hope you have an amazing time!

Fast pass: Raglan Road - Have an ADR, really looking forward to this
Standby: Enzo's
Skip: The Boathouse - seafood just isn't my first choice

Hollywood Studios classic:
Mama Melrose
50's Prime Time

Awesome you got on Rise of the Resistance. Been hearing that the boarding passes are still going fast. You're making me really anxious for our trip!

Fastpass: Sci Fi Dine In
Standby: Mama Melrose
Skip: 50s Prime Time

Fast pass: Coke Zero! - drink tons of water all day in the parks.
Standby: Water
Skip: Specialty fruit drinks

Live shows that need to get going again!
Beauty and the Beast
Festival of the Lion King
Finding Nemo: the Musical

Speaking of water, have you noticed if the water fountains/bottle filling fountains are turned on in the parks? We've heard conflicting reports.

Fastpass: Finding Nemo
Standby: Beauty & the Beach
Skip: Festival of the Lion King

Car based rides-
Test Track
Tomorrowland Speedway
Radiator Springs Racers (Disneyland)

Water fountains seem to be working but not all bottle fillers are. Not sure if there's a rhyme or reason to it.
Got on Rise of the Resistance - it was incredible, won't say anything more.
Took the skyliner from Studios to Riviera to have lunch at their quick service place. Really good & the skyliner was fun & quick.

Fast pass: Radiator Springs Racers - only been to DL once, back in 2014, but this attraction was so much fun.
Standby: Test Track - still like the ride before the redo better.
Skip: Tomorrowland Speedway

Rides you "fly" during:
Soarin'
Flight of Passage
Peter Pans Magic Flight

We will be working that quick service in! Thank you for the suggestion.

Fastpass: Flight of Passage
Standby: Soarin'
Skip: Peter Pan's Flight

"Theater" shows -
Carousel of Progress, Philharmagic, Muppets 3D

The Muppets pre-show is still shown! They just have a lot of socially distant circles for groups to stand around.

Wait times don't really bear any relation to the length of a line. Except Frozen.
Each park has at least 1 indoor, with a/c, relaxation station, great way to take a break, although no one was in Akershus when we availed ourselves.
They made a change to boarding groups - your entire party is automatically selected, you have a choice to deselect anyone. This makes it a quick process. 1st time was boarding group #25; 2nd time, it was #6.
