It sounds like it time to make a change to the standard touring plans. For years, I've preferred to play FastPass Poker and accumulate a deck of 40 or so passes (8 sets of 5) before playing them throughout the afternoon and early evening when it gets really hot and really crowded.

I learned about this while reading the 2001 "Unofficial Guide" and have now been following the same strategy for over 10 years. Looks like the times, they are a-changin'.
