What a subjective question to ask to help draw up your plans. Everyone is different. I'd dismiss every suggestion in the thread - do them all, and make your own mind up.

Hope I'm not hijacking, we're there at Christmas too, for a first time trip. I've got these booked on FP are there any I should take out & what to replace them? Or are they a safe bet and just standby other things.

SuperK - we are also there at Christmas! - your list of rides looks great and personally I wouldn't change any of them :-)

Edit to add: well, I wouldn't do Tower of Terror again (I'm a wimp!) but agree you should do it at least once!

Super K you've pretty much got everything covered and nothing to change as far as I am concerned. Have a great time.

Thanks. We've DD12 & DD13 so generally the bigger rides are what we're after. We did DLP a few years ago and I've memories of how big the queues were for Peter Pan and the Teacups so at least we'll be able to give those a miss.

I agree SuperK you have got the rides with long stand by queues covered with fast passes.

One's I wouldn't do again but must try once (although not if there is a long queue!) Are Barnstormer (30 minutes queueing for the shortest, most uninspiring ride ever) and Stitch's Great Escape (just really weird! But I think you should experience it just to see how bad it is 😀 ). Although I know this ride is closing so not sure if it's still open now (not one I will miss 😊 )

Yeah, there are a number of "average" attractions that aren't great but do typically have short queues and so are worth seeing. Carousel of Progress comes to mind.

Up until I took my daughter on it I would've agreed with you. But then we went on it - she steered whilst I controlled the pedals (she was too small to reach them, bless her) - and we had a great time and lots of fun. It's not the best ride by a long way but I do now have a fondness for it.

It does help if you can hold your breath whilst in the loading area.

To be fair, if no one ever asked any subjective questions to help them plan then the DIBB would be very quiet.

SuperK - your list looks pretty good.

My wife makes me go on "it's a small world" every time we go as it's a family tradition - the only positive is I get loads of pics and put them on my mates Facebook as he's not the tallest of people in the world so it's a bit of a comedy ride for us

I'd skip the Country Bears Jamboree in Magic Kingdom. We only did it for a sit down in the air con.
I'd also skip the Flying Carperts in Adventureland, Dumbo in Fantasyland/Storybook Circus and the Astro Orbiter rockets as they are all almost the same ride and not really a unique to style Disney.

Epcot - We loved Mission:Space and did Orange Mission twice. I think it just depends on the individual if it makes you feel ropey. Funnily enough, we were both fine of this but The Simpsons at Universal made us both feel a bit odd.

I'd skip the Nemo puppet show at Animal Kingdom as it's about half an hour long. We did it for sit down and air con, but we both hate Nemo (and Dory) so that may have influenced our enjoyment!

I hate the ride but we also had a moment, I think my youngest was about 5, I was videoing the car ride, we are pulling into the finish and she looks up at the camera and says "can we do it again?" its the single best piece of video I have ever taken and although we don't go on it, it will always have a place in my heart
