Re: First Fast Pass of the Day?
We plan our day around fast passes. Epcot is the hardest though. It's always good planning to have a Soarin' or Test Track Fastpass, but sometimes it ends up during the time we are already in the countries, and we don't want to trek back. So my suggestion for Epcot is get there super early, get a Soarin' Fastpass (because that line can be unbearable) and walk briskly to Test Track to ride that. Once you ride those two, the rest of the day is a snap. In DHS, go quickly to Toy Story, get a fastpass, then wait in line and ride it, that way you can do it twice! Then walk back over to do ToT and Rock 'n! Magic Kingdom? We do a million different ways, we criss-cross with fastpasses, and mix in a bunch of other rides. I can't wait to get there in December!

Re: First Fast Pass of the Day?
DW and I were in AK during Evening EMH and it was incredible. Because it was summer we did not get to see AK after sundown...even with EMH...but it did allow us to ride Expedition Everest 5 times in a row with no wait!!! We had to stop after that because we had ADRs for Boma at 7:45 and also because I was starting to get quite sick to my stomach.

Did you have to get off in between rides and go back through the queue or did you get to stay on it?!theBIGyowski wrote:DW and I were in AK during Evening EMH and it was incredible.

We had to get off...but just went through the queue again. The only sad thing was that we rushed through that awesome queue every time...missing out on some of the best imagineering in the world.Amy wrote:Did you have to get off in between rides and go back through the queue or did you get to stay on it?!theBIGyowski wrote:DW and I were in AK during Evening EMH and it was incredible.

I love Expedition Everest's que. My DH has never been on it and I know he's going to love waiting in that line!

Re: First Fast Pass of the Day?
Yeah...the only bad thing about it is when you get people who love ringing the bells...constantly...it can get annoying. But the museum portion of it is awesome and worth the slow lines when you're in there.LITTLEBIT wrote:I love Expedition Everest's que.

Re: First Fast Pass of the Day?
Disney has been known to change the EMH without notice for various reasons. We've had to update our December trip planner a couple times already. The only thing you can do is keep tabs on it and have a backup plan.

Re: First Fast Pass of the Day?
Yep! And Mouseoholic usually has a backup for the backup, too! You should see her planning portfolio for each trip...!
The schedule she sent you is a stripped down "cliff's-notes" version of what her planner really looks like.
