My birthday trip!  
First time user of this new system, our 60 day mark is July 29 (I think), so Im starting to think about which passes we want for each park. We will be there for the anniversary on October 1st, any idea what crowds will be like historically? What rides require fastpass vs rides that at some point during the day should hit a 20 minute or so wait? These decisions are tricky!!! I know Soarin requires one, but that's about the only one I'm feeling sure about!!
A bit about us: we are 2 adults traveling without children, so the meet and greets and frozen stuff are off our radar. We are looking at things like Star tours, kali river rapids, Space mountain, Splash Mountain (thunder will be closed when we go), 7dmt, little mermaid since its new... things like that! Its my boyfriends first trip to the world and my 4th. We will be skipping everest, tower of terror, rockin roller coaster, and mission: SPACE as my boyfriend is a self-proclaimed chicken.
In my guide book it talks about the Studios and Epcot having 2 categories of attractions where you can take 1 from category A and 2 from B. It also warns that these lists could change, have they been known to? With muppets and indiana jones maybe closing in the fall (vague!!) Im assuming the lists for studios will change?
Final question for now. How do fastpasses work for fireworks and other shows? How far in advance do we need to show up? Is it guaranteed seating or viewing area? Is it worth it?
