FP+ and Interactive Queues

[jas80]

It sounds like for most rides that have interactive queues, using FP+ on those rides means missing out on the queue. Are there any exceptions to this, where FP+ riders also get to experience the interactive queue?

Also, which interactive queues are worth, say, a 15-20 minute standby wait and which ones is it just better to skip over and use a FP+? (Above 20 minutes, there is probably no interactive queue I would choose over FP+).

We hardly ever wait in lines so I'm not sure what I am missing (I am ok with that.) I know you can still design your car with a TestTrack FP. You can see the whole queue with a Star Tours FP. You still get to go in the library on ToT.

Dumbo has a play area for kids, not sure if you have kids with you. My 5yo DD loves it. You get in the first line and they hand you a beeper and let you play. When it goes off you get in back in a line and ride . Last time we had a FP and there was no line so they had us skip the play area and went right to the ride. She was bummed, but as there was no wait we went right back in and asked if she could play, they handed us a beeper and told her to play as long as she wanted when she was done to hand them the beeper back and head out to ride.

I should add, we'll be with our kids, ages 5 and 2.5. So the rides I'm most interseted in hearing about would be:

HM, Dumbo, Pooh, 7DMT, Little Mermaid, Peter Pan, Star Tours, TSMM, ToT

You don't get to see Mr Potato Head if you have a TSMM FP. I had no idea what people were talking about till I saw him at Tokyo DisneySea. He's neat - not worth waiting if you don't have to, though.

You don't see the queue at all with a FP on 7D.

The Pooh queue is cute. Interactive touch screen and some mirrors as I recall. We were in the FP line but watched others touching everything. So, take some wet wipes with you to cleans the little ones' hands!

HM has a lot of interesting features that aren't blatant. If you run your hands over the musical instruments, it activates music. Again, wet wipes are a necessity!
