Touring strategy starts here. Mine-Cart Madness climbs steeply through the morning on moderate days.

Quick-service queues stack between 11:30 and 1:30. Plan around them.

Mid-afternoon dip is real but brief

The window around 2 PM is your friend. Use it on Mine-Cart Madness or whatever you've been putting off.
