TRON is at its lowest right at the official open, holds in the 50s through mid-afternoon and runs longest in the evening, so ride it first.

Seven Dwarfs holds in the 40s and 50s from late morning through the evening and only eases in the last hour before close. The first public hour is the other short window (about 35 this fall); Early Entry ran about 40, so it doesn't help.

Tiana's opens close to a walk-on, sat around 30 from late morning through the afternoon this fall and peaked near 45 around 6 PM before it dropped off near close. Ride it in the first hour. It closes for refurbishment from November 2, 2026.

Space Mountain peaks around noon, holds in the 30s through the afternoon and evening, then eases in the last hour. It's on the Early Entry list too, so the half hour before the official open is the other way around it.

Early Entry doesn't cover Big Thunder, so it opens to everyone at once. It posted about 5 in the first hour this fall and about 25 by 10 AM, so ride it as early as you can.

Haunted Mansion climbs to its peak by late morning and holds there most of the day, then settles back in the last hour. Ride it early or at the end of the night instead of mid-afternoon.
