    So on Monday (9/10) just stick to DHS all day, or at least for opening?
    I'm not really worried about TSMM since I'm a DLR passholder and visit pretty frequently, that and Soarin' are okay to miss on my list.

    I would say if you want to ride TSM, Rock n Roller coaster and Tower of Terror (or just one or two of them) it's worth hitting DHS for a rope drop. If you're not bothered about those rides it's not so much of an issue.

    I'm still iffy about Cape May Cafe, it sounds good in theory but I'm just not 100% sold on it. Thoughts?
    We tried Cape May Cafe during our March 2011 trip at liked it. So when we stayed at the Beach Club in Novemebr 2011 we ate there again and we were happy both times! Plus if you want - you can explore the Epcot resorts area/walk around the lake if you have the time!

    I envy solo trips, the best I can do nowadays is let my wife sleep in and I head out for early morning magic hours. I Love the freedom to do what you want at your own pace!

    Does Rock 'n Roller Coaster have a single rider line? That might help you!

    I agree with Scooby, if you want to get a couple of rides on TSMM you really should be there for rope drop. Get the FP first then get into the regular line. When I was there in Jan. during the marathon TSMM was my first objective and we got in using this plan. By the time we got out of the first ride the FP return time was late evening. When we came back for our second ride an hour later the FP machine were closed. It shouldn't be as crowded when you're there but if this attraction is a priority for you, you may want to adjust your touring plan. By Sunday you may need a little break during the day, park storming is hard work ! It may also be a good day for you to use for catching anything you missed earlier in the trip. I'm excited for you! Can't wait to hear all about it.

    I like TSMM but yeah, it's not a big issue if I miss it. Also, I don't like super fast roller coasters or drops (wimp, I know ) so RRC and TOT are not on my list to do.

    It just wasn't holding my interest enough to keep the ADR. Le Chefs De France really caught my eye so I switched for that one.

    Not a serious roller coaster fan.

    I think I'll wait to see if I do rope drop for DHS after I see how I'm feeling on Sunday. That is turning out to be my "relaxing" day, which really only means that I won't be up for opening any park. I think it depends if I end up loving EE and wanting to ride that again, then I would do early EMH on Monday and hop over to DHS.
