Test Track's Single-Rider Line: Check It at Rope Drop

Gawrsh, EPCOT friends — here's the word for Thursday, October 15. Disney turned single riders away from Test Track all day Wednesday while testing a "new operating procedure," and nobody's said whether the line reopens Thursday. If you're ridin' solo, check it at the rope — and note that Disney ran the same experiment on Expedition Everest earlier this year and kept the change for good. Without single riders fillin' seats, expect the standing queue to run longer than its usual self.

Otherwise, keep it simple, yuh-huh: the Food & Wine Festival runs through November 21, and tonight drew an 8-out-of-10 crowd reading (the week averaged 6), so get there early and eat your way around the World Showcase instead of chainin' rides. Soarin' and Living with the Land's greenhouses were down at closing tonight — give the app a peek in the mornin' before plannin' around 'em. Even I couldn't goof this strategy up! A-hyuck!
