Today was successful. I had three Fastpasses at Epcot and then @bernina trasnfered me fastpasses for Alien Swirling Saucers and TSMM. Unfortunately, Slinky Dog went down but when we got off TSMM at 10:25 we saw it up and running. we ran and made it on the standby line before the park closed. It only was about a 25 min wait. It’s such a fun family coaster and it’s pretty intense considering the 38in height requirement. Toy Story Land was dead at 10 PM for a 10:30 closing. One person was ahead of us at Woodys lunchbox. 10 min waits for TSMM and AS2 at about 10:15. Definitely would recommend doing the land right before closing. It looks cool at night too.
Glad the trip is turning out so well. Your experience has me re-thinking my touring strategy for our Christmas trip. We have traditionally been "rope-droppers," which worked well when you could collect paper fast-passes and use them throughout the day. The earlier you got to the parks, the sooner you could start collecting them. But with the new fast-pass system, I'm thinking it might not make as much sense to be at the park at 7 am. Maybe better to sleep in a little and plan to stay later.
