How to avoid the lines other that fast pass

Hey everyone,
I am going to disney in april for 10 days and was wondering if you had any tips on how to avoid the long lines at the thrill rides like all the mountains and tower of terror,

Thank you
yoni

Arrive at park opening is the best thing to do other than go to WDW at a really slow time. I suggest you purchase an Unoffical Guide to WDW as they have some touring plans that can be useful. Other than that, FastPass!

I also do most of the big rides right at park opening and that usually works out well. Also, lines are usually shorter during the parades and slightly shorter at peak meal times like noon and 6pm.

If you are on site take advantage of EMH. Get there right at EMH opening. This gives you the extra hour for resort guests plus about an hour of regular opening time before the parks start getting crowded.

Also, evenings and night time end to have shorter lines as parents with young children leave the park. It seems the most crowded time is from about 11:00 am to about 5:00 pm.

Parade times are good to squeeze in a few rides. Also, stay away from attractions near the "show" (like Philarmagic) when they let out as large crowds exit and start looking for the nearest rides.

Eat meals at off hours. People often break for lunch between 12:00 and 2:00. Keep touring at this time as the lines will be SLIGHTLY shorter.

Use the single rider lines at the few attractions that have them.

Test Track has a single-rider line that gets you on the ride pretty quick!

Go for early am priority seating, if the park opens at 9am, and you have PS for 8, you will finish breakfast and will have positioned yourself further into the park. I'm not sure I could have done Space mtn, but I was not too full for BTMR or Splash. We ate at Crystal Palace and it was really good.
