    Confused by new fast pass

    Can't say I'm feeling much Disney "magic" right about now :( Thank you to those who replied, and especially to those of you who provided tips. We'll do our best, but guess I won't get my daughter too filled up on meeting them. Sounds like MK is becoming more of a let down for some kids (and...

    My daughter will 2 1/2 in Sept when we head to Orlando. We hope to visit wdw, Universal and Busch - any advice on rides to do/avoid? She is 36 inches so I think that makes her tall enough for some rides but I don't know which ones would be suitable for her. Any advice?
