rides w/ FOTL - need advice!

[Jenny]

DH & I are going w/ grandma & our 2 DDs, 10 mo & 3 yr, & i've gone over & over possible touring plans & gathered info. from these boards since i think we'll travel better w/ some type of plan in place. at this point, it looks like we'll stay one night on-site & use FOTL - i'm so thrilled about this but i have 3 more questions (at least, that's what i hope) - we're going may 19-20 - thurs. @ IOA - fri. @ USF.

My questions are: 1. How long will we wait w/ FOTL for popular rides like Spiderman, River Adventure, Mummy, MIB in the p.m.? Is there a maximum time that one will wait w/ FOTL? I know that the recommendation is to go on these rides in the a.m. but w/ FOTL, I was hoping to see them in the p.m. while grandma pushes the kids in the stroller for their naps.

2. Where can i find a list of rides that have the express line?

3. Can you access baby swap areas from the express line?

Thanks.

We just returned from US/IOA during the Easter break. The longest we waited for FOTL was 15 minutes for the Mummy. Most waits averaged 10 minutes while others were waiting up to 75 minutes in the regular line.We often passed the same people still waiting in the regular line.
Also wait on the FOTL even if it seems long. They move very quickly. At one point the Mummy FOTL was getting long and people started complaining (some people pay extra for once to the front.) They immediately started loading all avalable cars with FOTL much to the dismay of the people in the "regular line"
We loved front of the line for the middle of the day. Who wants to get up early? We also enjoyed it on the spur of the moment. many times during our stay at RPH my son wanted to ride Hulk. We hopped on the water taxi are were on the Hulk within 20 minutes.

1-Each attraction does their best to keep Express under 20 mins.

2-Most attractions have express. When you get your park maps, there is a little logo indicating rides with express. P-Flyers in IOA is one of the only ones without express.

3-Yes. Child swap is always located near the loading or unloading area of most attractions.

thanks for all the GOOD NEWS. good to know that you don't necessarily have to hit all the big rides first thing in the a.m. w/ FOTL - worth staying on site.
