You did the right thing,,,,FOTL is absolutely AWESOME!!! Cant say it enough.....the express is just like the fast pass at disney,,,you put your ticket in and you get a "time" to return. When you return,,,you go directly in, like you would with FOTL (same line).
But with FOTL you dont need to hassle with the fast passes and returning and all, you go RIGHT ON! I was just tickled pink and now IM spoiled and going to DIsney will not be as good as it used to be for me, after experiencing FOTL. Mae
