What we would do today
If you have not committed yet, Volcano Bay is the value pick — 5 minutes average against 18 at EPCOT is close to an hour of standing saved over a full day. If you are already committed to EPCOT, rope-drop the headliner you care about most and accept a long midday lull; the second wind comes after dinner.
Weather today: Overcast, high 94°F, low 71°F, 28% chance of rain. No rain worth planning around.
