The big top is only for stand-by, where they will be treated to distracting entertainment, on account of it's still gonna be a pretty long wait.

Originally Posted By Ursula I disagree with you. Having waited over 2 hours for Splash before FP, no thank you. Now, I just have to get a FP and the line is less than 20.

I am not on vacation when I am at DL, but when I am in WDW, I most certainly am on vacation and I still refuse to wait in lines.)
