What shows/rides do you save for the busy afternoon?

[texasgingerbread]

What shows and rides do you save for the afternoon when the popular rides have lines? I've made a list but would you take away or add to this? I'll be there first week in March.

DL
Mickey's Magical Map
Mr. Lincoln
Jedi Academy
Aladdin (or Frozen in my time I believe if happening at all)
Musical Chairs with Mad Hatter and Alice

CA
It's Tough to Be A Bug
Turtle Talk w Crush
Animation Academy
Olaf Meet n Greet
Sorcerer's Workshop

I will be there around the same time as you, Mar 4-6. Our go-to afternoon activities WOULD HAVE included the train, riding the Mark Twain or Columbia, and running around Tom Sawyer’s Island, but as we all know that won’t be possible for who knows how long!

That said, I would also add the following:

DL
Ride the Monorail (usually just a 5-10min wait, and try to sit up front in the cockpit)
Tiki Room
Frozen show at the Royal Theatre
Casey Jr. Circus train (usually a shortish wait)
Buzz Lightyear Astroblasters (if they still have the disconnected FPs)

DCA
Mater’s (one of the shorter waits and so fun)
Little Mermaid
Monster’s Inc.
Wilderness Explorer Camp

And, pressed pennies! Grab a map from one of the shops, they will break bills for you too if you need change.

Have fun!!

I would have normally said Tom Sawyers Island, the Mark Twain/Columbia, and the Train, but none of those will be running for much of 2016.

I would add:

• Sleeping Beauty Walk Through (DL)
• Buzz Lightyear Astro Blaster (DL)
• Tiki Room (DL)
• The Carousel (DL and DCA)
• Winnie the Pooh (DL)
• Monorail (DL)
• Main Street Cinema (DL)
• Monster's Inc (DCA), and
• Ariel's Undersea Adventure (DCA).

Things that may have a line or may not, but I'd check to see how the line is looking include Mater's Junkyard Jamboree (DCA), some of the attractions over in Paradise Pier (e.g., Jumping Jellyfish, Zephyr, Silly Symphony Swings, etc.), Big Thunder (so some reason, that one seems to have a shorter line than the other thrill rides), and IaSW (through, probably not during the holidays).

I would also consider getting something to eat, doing some shopping, or touring the resorts and DTD.

• Winnie the Pooh (DL)
• .

Wow! I would never think Winnie would be on the "short" list. At WDW it's insane! Is it the same ride at DL? Do you know?

It's not an identical copy...it's got some similar elements (but in a different order), and some unique scenes/figures/etc.

Does anyone know when the Frozen Musical starts? Will it be as soon as Aladdin closes or will that be dark theater for awhile?

Aladdin is closing on January 10 (last day) and the Frozen show isn't scheduled to open until the "summer". The Parks Blog announcement was vague about an opening date.
