I apologize if these have been mentioned before.
The Sun Wheel has both stationary (like normal ferris wheels) cars, and cars that swing back and forth on tracks. Because of their novelty, most folks want the latter. Even though there are twice as many swinging as normal cars, the normal cars often go empty. BTW, the normal cars go higher and therefore have a better view. If you're willing to ride a normal car, just go in through the exit, and all the way at the back, there is a seperate (very short) line for the normal cars.
CM's will take your fastpass anytime after the return time. We asked about this at Soarin' when returned late and were told it was no problem. After that, we did it many times, and only once got a funny look (though still accepted).
OK, one more. If you want a slow enjoyable afternoon, maybe while the rest of your party runs around the park. At about 3:00 PM, head over to the winery area, and grab a table in the seating area across from the buildings under the semi circle awning. at about 3:15 Wine tasting starts. They come out with three samples, accopmanied by cheese. After the tasting, grab a refill for $250 and relax. At 4:30 turn around and enjoy the parade.
