Thanks! I'm planning a trip for a family with a shy 4yr old girl who loves animals. Epcot is their first park day, so I'm hopeful that the aquarium, Nemo ride and Turtle Talk will help ease her in to all that is Disney without being too overwhelming.
I guess my question is why get there at park opening if you won't be doing things that have a long standby time at 10:30 am.
Whether they get there at 9 or 10, the wait for Nemo will be small and the pavilion doesn't really change. If they are there at 9 and the child is tall enough Soarin is a much better option in regards to time savings.
If Soarin is not an option, try Spaceship Earth, Living with the Land etc. as both will have waits that build faster than Nemo & Friends.
If the 4 year old is that shy and timid, if they get there at 9 am they may be done with the park by 11:15 (unless that is the goal).....good luck. always hard planning for someone else.
