Spring Break has sprung at Walt Disney World!
Tower of Terror, Disney’s Hollywood Studio

We were at Disney Wednesday (MK) and Friday (Epcot) and Epcot was terrible. We bought the Lightning Lane and used it for Remi and Spaceship Earth because Frozen and Test track were down half of the day and the Lightning lane was not available. We waited 90 minute in the standby line for Soaring because the next lightning lane availability was during dinner. We bought an individual lightning lane for guardians of the galaxy because the virtual queue was gone in 2.8 seconds (a record according to the cast member we spoke to) and individual lightning lanes sold out immediately after 9am. You know the park is busy when the boat ride in Mexico has a line out the door.
I hate to see it Easter week.
