with clever use of fast pass's and getting to the parks at opening its very easy to get the rides done without silly wait times, we can do MK in 1 day this way

the newest ride ( in Batuu, the new star wars bit ) has a virtual line, so you get in the park, get on the app and book a ride slot, this means no more than a 45 min wait, the wait line for rise of the resistance is interactive anyway, so maybe this shows the way WDW are heading, of course WDW are experts in milking that last dollar, so many think the virtual line is coming to most rides, 3 free and maybe pay for the rest, more money for WDW

Of course all of this was before Covid19 ( they are not doing FP's during these times as the wait times should be low due to park entry )
Fast passes are a must. When we did avatar 18 months ago the queues were 3 to 4 hours long, took us 10/15 mins which was about the longest we had. Did a few of them more than once, like the mine train as you can renew your fast passes during the day.
