Optimal Seat Selection for each ride

Don't laugh at me..........first row of Living with the Land gives the best view. Very relaxing!
No laughing from me, just complete agreement. It feels like a private ride, since all the other passengers are out of sight behind you.

I always request the back row for Star Tours because I like it when my feet dangle above the ground. Lol. My absolute favorite seat is row five, last seat by the door. There’s no one directly in front of you and I find the motion to be more intense. But it’s a hard seat to request, so I just ask for last row and cross my fingers that it’s almost completely full already. Typically though, I end up in the first seat at the other end of the row.

I don’t request a specific roe on 7DMT, but I’ve found that the first and last rows feel like completely different rides. First row is calm and smooth and last row is much more intense. They’re both fun though.
 
I prefer front row every time. Rides and shows. I don't have to see other people's heads or feet. Makes me feel much freer and less confined.

I don't usually ask though. The CMs are working so hard to move people through efficiently that it seems to hold things up for others to ask for a specific area. If I am standing next to the CM in a holding position then I might ask, but if I am in that position, I am usually put in the front row anyway because I am holding for all rows to clear (except where they load back to front, like BTMRR).
 
I will wait for front row Everest every single time. I like the view when you get to the end of the track and watching the track switch over after you go backwards.

Back of BTMRR and 7DMT.

I like the front seat of Space if I’m carrying a really full backpack just because it’s easier to get in and out lol.
 
BTMRR: Last Row
Space Mountain: Front Seat
Everest: Last Row
Soarin: B1
All Dark Rides: Front Row
Splash: Back Row
RnR: First Row (less rough)
Figment: Row 5 (don't laugh.. it's most centered)
Star Tours: Front Row
Avatar: Middle of the row
 

Is there an option for the least motion on Soarin'? We have a family member reluctant to go due to motion sensitivity.

Technically row 3 of any theater has the least motion. It travels less and does not go as high as the others. However, once the ride starts they all move the same amount.

Tell your family member it is a family friendly ride. It is gentle and moves slowly at all times.
 
I like riding on the bottom of FOP. It makes the world seem larger.

I like the middle of 7DMT, a ride I've probably ridden more than any other, and in every seat. The front is too slow, and sometimes the back bangs my kid's head on the seat.

I've never ridden anywhere but the front of Space Mountain, and I like it there, but I can't say for sure it's the best.

I like being in the front for Tower of Terror since otherwise I have 0 chance of my kids actually even being in the picture.
