[quote=Anonymous]Flight of Passage isn't really a roller coaster and isn't really all that intense.  FPs do occasionally pop up so if you change your mind, get the app on your phone and check religiously.  The alternative is to get to the park BEFORE rope drop and make a made dash for it as soon as the gates open.

My kids' (7 and 10yo boys) favorite ride in the park is Everest.  If you skip the mad dash for FoP, you can go straight to Everest at RD and ride 4 or 5 times before there is much of a line.  It is a coaster.  There is darkness.  It goes backwards for a little ways.

Do Lion King.  There is no "bad" seating, but if you are at the tail of the line on a busy day, there won't be enough room.  If you FP, you'll be right in the middle of it.  Awesome show and a good air-conditioned break.

Nemo is a good air-conditioned break but the kids are kind of meh about it.

Boneyard is a hit with my kids.  Make sure to go over the bridge to the dig site.  It's not indoors, but it's covered with lots of fans blowing.  It's also quite comfortable to bury your aching feet in the sand ... until some kid walks across them.

The kids might like Primevil whirl.  Adults hate it, me included.  It's a carnival style ride and really jerky.

DINOSAUR was surprisingly fun.

Fastpass the Safari if you can.  It's a classic and the lines are consistently longish.

I don't remember if Flights of Wonder (the bird show) is still running (it's being replaced with a different bird show themed on Up!).  If it is and you have time, it's a great show.  Not as must see as Lion King but we all really enjoyed it.  My 10yo was in a snit with me on our last trip and sat all the way in the back on the raised bleachers.  He ended up having a giant bird take off and land right next to him and he was just over the moon.

Yak & Yeti is probably one of our favorite table service restaurants in the parks.  If you do Tusker House, though, you can get the show package for FP seating at Rivers of Light.

Kali River Rapids is fun if you don't mind being soaked.  You're more likely to be get a bit damp, but there's always one person who ends up getting drenched head to foot.  I have a suspicion it's seating related and CM can seat you away from it, but I'm not 100% sure.
