Sorry! Been super busy with work (why is it always feast or famine and never an even level of a "to do" list?) and didn't got back to this. Attractions or best tips sounds good to me!

Oh my goodness, isn't that the truth of it all! and Hakuna Matata ~ I'm used to holding down the fort by myself sometimes
I'm way out of the loop on best tips and things since I'm going on 5 years of my last trip but let me see what I can scrounge up, and then y'all can add some

Older tips might be fun to revisit too. We can discuss if they still work

Let's see...a few I remember:
- don't go to MK on a Monday, people start their vacation there on Mondays
- if not using early entry, start in Adventureland because it isn't open early
- visit Mickey during the parade for a shorter wait

You're already off to a better start than me thinking of things!

Hehe, ok, I'll try to think of a few more

- no need for Genie+ at Epcot and Animal Kingdom
- ride Tomorrowland Speedway at night when it's cooler (and the lights of Tron are really cool)
- get in line for popular rides right before closing so you're waiting after the park is closed
- leave enough time for getting to any reservations, buses can take a while to show up
- resort hopping is fun!
- extra evening hours used to be great, probably even better now that it's deluxe guests only, but that's a pricey premium

I didn't know about the last one ~ wow. Nice if you're going to be staying at a deluxe anyhow, but yeah probably not worth the difference in price otherwise

I like the new topic idea!

- Never wait more than 15 mins for Pirates. It will be walk-on at night.
- Park in the lot nearest the park with the latest operating hours and then use resort transportation as much as possible.

yay, it's back up. I kept getting an error yesterday trying to come do my post. And I must apologize, I've been under the weather for a good chunk of this week so haven't put much thought into anything beyond trying to function enough to get through lessons and back to my cozy bed. Not-so-fun fact, the piano, and the loud children playing it, are quite amplified when your head is stuffy. So much noise!
