Hello! My best advice would be to stake out a spot along the fenced-off bushes/landscaping areas near the statue of Walt & Mickey (aka the Partners Statue). This way, no one can move in front of you because there’s nowhere to go that isn’t fenced off and you’ll also feel less claustrophobic. While some of these are a little bit close, you still have a fantastic central view of the castle. I’d recommend setting up camp an hour and a half or so before fireworks start (2 hours on a really busy day) because those spots tend to fill up fast. If you line up along a taped off walkway, you will actually end up having people fill in the space in front of you because just before showtime, the Cast Members actually fill in most of the walkways with people to maximize capacity.

Agree with Rob. If you do Space Mountain (less demand than mine ride) you may have time to do Peter Pan before Frontierland and Adventure land open.

So Epcot was not particularly busy Monday and the plan worked like a charm. Jumped in line and it was practically a walk on. When we got off, the line snaked around outside the attraction. Love it when a plan succeeds!

Thank you Rob! Didn’t know about Rider Switch! Awesome tip!

How did you find Flight of Passage? I think it might be a bit too intense for my Mum, as from memory, you're locked into a bike-style position and they shoot air at you (Mum had a bit of a panic attack on the Jimmy Fallon ride at Universal Studios last year because of the air being blown on her face )!! Also, I might ride Dinosaur alone first, and see how it is :-)

Are you flexible at all with what days you go to each restaurant? Say you want to go to O’hana on day one, but no reservations are available; If it’s possible for you to go on day 5, you might have a better chance since you’re essentially reserving at 66 days and not 60 if that makes sense. I just checked at 9:00 a.m.. EST and both Garden Grill and Roundup Rodeo had lots of availability even at 57 days so you should be good for those! If you can schedule O’hana later in your trip, you should be golden. Those are all great choices! Good luck!

I have a similar question. I want to do space mountain first for early entry, but I will be with children who haven't ridden a roller coaster before, so I was thinking we can warm them up to it by riding astros orbiter first, then venture to Space Mountain. Will we have time to do that during early entry? I want to then make it over to Adventureland to do Pirates of the Carribean when it's official rope drop... :)

It is highly doubtful that the Cast Members at Guardians could help. If anyone could move the VBG to a different day, it would be Guest Relations, but I think they wouldn’t since you would have been free to simply rebook it. You can book at 7am without having entered the park so long as you have a valid ticket for that day, so why not just book at 7 on the day of your flight and show up late?

Wow. This is so helpful. Thank you!!!

Thanks for your response, Rob! The Pointer Sisters are there both days for Garden Rocks. 😳 I've never been there on a concert day. Do the concerts attract a lot of exxtra people?

Oh yea!!! I just love it. My husband likes to think I am nuts but I like to be a little extra! People wait until it is closing time and lay down as if they are napping in front of the castle. Also, on rides they do things like pretend they are answering a banana phone, napping etc…..

Thank you everyone! I did end up getting it and it was worth it alone for pictures with characters! Plenty of photographers too, so I definitely got my money's worth.
