Your experience is the blue lobster, EXTREMELY RAREIn hindsight, I didn't need to do most of the prep work that I did. I could have easily gotten by with one video and reading a few key posts on message boards/websites. But I had no way of knowing that before actually being able to use it. I was so nervous the first day (due to reading so many horror stories) that I couldn't even sleep. I was awake at 5:30 a.m. and couldn't get back to sleep because I was so worried about screwing things up (again, thanks to all the horror stories). When 7:00 finally came around, I booked an ILL for GoTG and a LL for Remy. At 7:02 I was sitting in a chair saying to myself, "That's it???? That's what I was so worried about??? What did I miss??" We didn't even arrive at Disney until about 10:00 a.m. that day and we headed over to EP at 2:00. Over the morning/early afternoon hours I was able to stack Frozen, Soarin, and Test Track in addition to Remy and GoTG. We were able to do all of those rides, hit a few standby lines, have dinner, and meander through a few gift shops and be back at our hotel by 8:30. We never accomplished that much on arrival day with FP (and I *loved* FP). With DAK, we did rope drop and I booked FOP and Safari at 7:00 (both with early return times). We then did book/ride/book ride to cover EE, FOTLK, Nemo, and KRR. We were back in our room by 2:00 relaxing in the a/c. We had no issues getting on every ride we wanted in every park during a busy time. I guess maybe all of my prep work paid off. I was happy to pay for the convenience of not having to wait in long lines. Yes, we could have gotten by without using G+ but we would have been spending *a lot* more time waiting in lines and a lot *less* time relaxing.
to the point where theres 12mm people per year that visit Epcot and if they all tried that, less than 5,000 would have even close to that success
In Epcot, getting even 2 of the 5 (GoTG, Remy, Frozen, Soarin, Test Track) is impossible 95% of the days so you got lucky on a slow day. You might get one for noon and a second for 8pm and thats it.
AK you would never get both FOP and Safari and you might get one of the others you mentioned
