Any of those NOT to waste my time on? I love Disney plays so was hoping to take in Beauty and the Beast and Festival of the Lion King.

    Don't forget PeopleMover and AstroOrbitter and Carousel of Progress and Jungle Cruise (very different from DL) and the finale: Late night final hamburger at Cosmic Rays Starlight Cafe to meet Sonny Eclipse

    Personally I prefer Festival of the Lion King to the Nemo show, but I know of others who feel differently.
