We successfully rope dropped FEA! I timed the “wait” at 4 min but in reality we walked all the way through the queue and onto the ride. We were sweaty and hot by the time we hoofed it there (me carrying DD2, DD7 and DD4 in the stroller, DS9 trooping on). But it was worth it to exit to a 30-40 min line!

We then attempted to go to TT but they had another “delayed opening” so we continued to Soarin’ and are now in a ~45 min line. DD2 will probably ride LwtL with DSIL.

The kids are close to done with Disney. DD7 in particular is pretty grumpy. So I think our vacation will be ending about the right time.

BUT when we were riding FEA, DD2 was sitting by me excited the whole time and wasn’t scared at all! Woohoo! And when we got off she said, “I like going to Epcot now!” :smiling_face_with_three_hearts::cry::sob: Such a cutie! She is hereby invited to all future Disney trips.

DD7 is on the waitlist. :wink::stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Oh, and they were testing War of the Worlds this morning.

P.S. This will be a short day for the kids. They need a break. So we are doing Soarin’, Test Track, and maybe Spaceship Earth. Then we will take an afternoon break before DW and I leave for our date.

THat’s the best, ain’t it? I mean, aside from the sadness that you can’t reride something cause of said wait…but just the satisfaction that you just basically “gained” so much time.

I never waited more than 10 minutes, and that was just due to a guest tearing her bag apart looking for her ticket/MB. It was the best kept secret in Epcot. :frowning: Oh well.

Only one gate allows entry though.
The other one is strictly for exiting
