ETA...it should read April...b/c I REALLY dont think Arpil is a month...is it?? LOL
I tried searching for an old thread but maybe you all can help me. In planning the process, and then visiting here, I see some things here that I haven't seen in my research..lol You gals are a wealth of information. We are doing 4 days, and want to fit in as much as we can. But not waste our time on not so great stuff...kwim. SO what I am asking for is, what are some things we MUST do( regarding shows/rides)

Here are our family's must-do attractions:
MK:
*Space Mountain
*Mickey's Philharmagic
*Haunted Mansion
*Pirates of the Carribbean
*Splash Mountain
*Peter Pan's Flight
*Wishes
AK:
*It's Tough To Be A Bug
*Kilimanjaro Safari
*Rafiki's Planet Watch
*Kali River Rapids
*Expedition Everest
*Dinosaur
*Note - some people really like Finding Nemo, we thought it was ok, but there was a huge long line, and if I had to do it over, I wouldn't have done that wait for it.
Epcot:
*SOARIN!!!!!!
*Spaceship Earth
*Innoventions
*Journey Into Immagination with Figment
*The Seas w/Nemo (including Turtle Talk with Crush)
*Refreshment Port
*Note - lots of people love test track, too, but we've never been on it, so can't give personal endoresement!
*Illuminations
MGM:
*The Great Movie Ride
*Sounds Dangerous
*Indiana Jones
*Star Tours
*Muppet 3-D (this is a must do for my hubby, just "ok" for dd and me)
*Tower of Terror (hubby loves it, dd hates it, I get sick on it)
*FANTASMIC!!!!!
*Note - we've never tried Roc & Rollar Coaster, hear it's great.
Downtown Disney:
*If you have time, Disney Quest is cool, but skip it if time is way short.
*Cirque du Soleil - AWESOME SHOW!!!!
Have a fantastic trip!!!!

The show is 30 or 35 minutes long.
We are going that third week in April. I will definitley add Nemo to our list. As for Fantasmic, not too sure. After looking at it. I am not sure my two would go for it. They are kinda skiddish when it comes to things like that. But I may reevaluate when it gets a little closer. We are totaly night owls, kids included so we plan on staying late! We went once before a while back and i HATED leaving with the masses tho..lol I felt like cattle! lol

Hmmm - the show itself was maybe 30 minutes? It could've been more or less? While you're in the show, you're totally not paying attention to the clock, lol, so I really don't remember, and I just looked at the AK guide I still hahve from our last trip and it doesn't say, either.
However, we were in line for a good 75 minutes or more before the show. We weren't going to line up that early, but when we walked by, there was already a significant line forming (this was for the first show of the morning) and so we went ahead and lined up to make sure we'd get in because we knew we wouldn't have time for one of the later shows that day. That may have been because the show was still rather new - when the Tarzan show was there, we didn't have to line up that early. So maybe by the time you go (which will be about a year & a half after our last trip there) the waits will be less because it won't be as new? Just a thought.

YES, you'll want to see Fantasmic! It's soooo cool - it's the finale show at Disney-MGM Studios, and they do it at least once a night, some nights it's twice (you have to check the schedule.) You don't need reservations or tickets or anything, but you will want to line up early (unless you have VIP seating) because it fills up quickly, and they don't allow people to stand, you must have a seat.
