Plaster Fast Pass...

Given that Emily was sporting a brand new cast, the hotel suggested we ask for an "Easy Access Pass" at the park. The glossy piece of paper, worth its weight in gold, allowed Emily and often the rest of us to completely avoid the (sometimes long) line at the rides. I would say purely from a time perspective, Emily's misadventure actually allowed us to do more than would have been able to otherwise. We rode the same rides as last year and saw basically the same shows. The "Stitch" show was new and relatively cool. A computer generated image appears on a screen but a live actor (somewhere "behind the curtain") does the voice, so it's very interactive.
By the way, I don't think the weather could have been any better. It was mostly cloudy at some points, but didn't rain and the temperature didn't seem to make it above 70 or so.
The big hit this year with Robert was the Indiana Jones roller coaster. While I was positive he was going to have a breakdown in the middle of the loops, he loved it. We waited in line for 10 minutes or so for this one.
This year the park wasn't even as full as it was last year. Once again, rides like Pirates of the Caribbean had a wait of less than 5 minutes. We got fast passes for the other popular rides so, with Emily's plaster fast pass, I don't think we ever waited more than 10 minutes for a ride.
