But kids sneaky ran into the front to see the parade. I was stand at the back. 17. Pirates of the Caribbean New Orleans land Boat in river cruising at Caribbean pirates land. Wait for 15 minutes 18. Star wars: rise of the resistance Star war Edge *** Similar to roller caster and spin cart, but in a star war background. We were about to ride the train between pirates of Caribbean and haunted house. But saw this only 10 minutes wait. So, we ran to here. But await for 30 minutes. 19. See firework at the America river.     We get there almost 9 pm. no good spots. But we can see project and firework. It was great. So you need to be there earlier to secure the spots. Either in front of castles or at American River. (between Frontierland and Adventure land) 20 Go back to main street, take picture at castles. Main street   The picture is too dark. It is not good. So if you want nice pictures. You will need to do it during the day. 20. Go try Matterhorn bobsleds again. But line was 40 minutes wait. So left (10 pm) Fantasy land   No genie pass 21. Walk/rest and found a show – dancing with hosts.   Tomorrow land   22. Star Tour- The adventure continues Tomorrow Land Ride in a cart, no move too much, but what you sea changes a lot, all about star, universal. Gennie pass. Waiting for 10 minutes. 23. Leave the Park at 11:40 pm.     Wait for 10 minutes to uber coming.   Download the app. All rides are at Your Tip Board, or My Day tab.  The paper map online you can access now does not have the star war edge land (I guess it is too old). So you will be confused. So use the map on the app. For Gennie pass, you will reserve a time. But it is a timeframe, such as 2:45-3:15 pm. You can use between it. No worry to miss the time.     Two days may be good to explore all the rides and meet princess. One day is too short. I think we could slow down, not taking so many rides. Instead, we should go see princess and take pictures with princess, castle. We just tried too much about ride, and did not take pictures with princess.   Indiana jones Adventure was either waiting line too long over 40 minutes, or temporarily broken/closed. So we did not get chance to ride it. Splash mountain was closed that day. So we did not ride that either. We started from the right side of the park from tomorrow land. But I think you can star from left side of the park first (start from Indiana jones, jungle land, splash Mountain, haunted house, then go to star war.). because the tomorrow land is so close to the main street. You can take those rides when you leaving the park. At late night (10-11pm), the line is very short. So you take the rides before you the park.   All recommended rides are highlighted in yellow. If you have time, ride more in green.
