[quote=Anonymous]You should book your LLs asap—they opened 7 days before your first hotel night.  We are also going next weekend and already have ours.

For HS, I would prioritize—
Slinky dog dash
Millennium falcon if they are Star Wars fans
Toy Story Midway mania 
Mickeys runaway train 
(That’s more than you can get but giving you options). 
If not—
Frozen ever after (very funny show)

Star Tours which is another Star Wars ride is very fun and they expanded it years ago so the line moves really fast.

For MK—I would not do Tron with those ages, it will be too scary.  7 dwarves is a great ride, might be scary for the little one.  I love thunder mountain but my kids think it’s too bouncy.  I haven’t been on Tiana yet but I think you will get wet so plan accordingly (maybe ponchos?).  Dumbo is great and has a play area in the waiting line.  Small world is classic.   Pooh and the Peter pan ride are both very popular and tend to have long rides. Haunted mansion, pirates and jungle cruise tend to have long lines due to the movie.  Really any of these are valid Lightening Lane picks.   I higjly recommend Mickey’s philharmagic when you need a break — it’s a short movie over by the carousel and is so funny.  It’s old school 3D.  If you can get into monster inc laugh floor, that’s also great — try to think of some corny jokes first as they take audience suggestions so if they pick yours that is fun for the kids.  I’m not sure if it’s still open but there is a mark Twain play island (Tom sawyer island I guess) that is closing forever at the end of the year—it might be very crowded with people doing it one last time … but kids of your age might like it.

I’m happy to answer more questions if you have them.  We’ve been a million times.  I agree with PP that you should bring snacks to eat in line.  We’ve also done group games like HeadsUp on our phone while we are waiting in line.  Wear the most insanely comfortable shoes you have.  It’s gonna be chilly nights this weekend so bring a jacket or hoodie.
