EPCOT's a Zoo — Skip the 135-Min Line and Waddle

Well, whaddya know — EPCOT's the hottest hotspot at 135 minutes on Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, more than double its normal baseline. Don't sit in that queue for two hours, folks. Here's my play: grab the Lightning Pass for Cosmic Rewind at $14-20 before 3 PM — that's a bargain when the walk-up is 135 — or just rope drop it at park open and beat the crowds. Soarin' is permanently closed and Test Track's down for refurb, so the classic World Showcase stroll is your best bet anyway. With highs near 94° and afternoon storms likely, wander the booths, grab a cold treat, and let the heat of the day do its worst. Save the outdoor rides for late afternoon.
