Critique my HS plan!! :-)

[Pinkos]

Here is my following plan ... PLease suggest away, the only thing I won't do is switch the FP. I have 2 kids, both which are really wanting to do Jedi training, the boy TSMM, and the girl Frozen ... and she wants to sit up close and see the characters. We are NOT doing the meet this year with the Frozen Princess as I don't want to waste a FP on it in MK, so I'm going to "waste" one in HS bc I'm hoping it will be an easier park to "waste" a FP on ... LOL ... if that makes sense.

Arrive for Rope Drop (well before Rope Drop)
Head straight to Jedi Training sign up and ask for a later show (130ish)
Ride Star Tours
Explore the new Star Wars Launch Pad, hopefully meet Darth/Chewbacca
The Little Mermaid Show
The Great Movie Ride (if line is not too long)
TSMM (FP #1: 10-11; thinking we will be closer to 11 on this one)
Frozen Show (FP#2 1130)

Eat Lunch : PLease suggest wear. QS only as we have a TS later this evening ...

Arrive for Jedi Training Show @ 1
Leave Park for Midday break/cool down after Jedi Show

Arrive back to park around 630.
Ride RnR, TOT (If lines aren't too bad)
See Fantasmic (FP #3)
Star Wars Fireworks??? Anyone know if that is going ahead?

I'm thinking I won't have enough time in my morning (before lunch) plan ... wondering if I should do Frozen earlier (instead of Little Mermaid/GMR, and then just do the other 2 "If we have time")

Have you looked into the Fantasmic Lunch and Dinner packages? I am not sure if your on the Dining Plan or not, but it would be a way to get back one of your Fastpasses. Also, I would move your Toy Story FP to before you do your Star Wars stuff, if possible. Even with the FP, you might be looking at around an hour wait (or more) if you don't do it first thing.

It is a very adventurous plan for the morning. You might have to pick between the Great Movie ride and Little Mermaid (both very good, but i probably prefer TGMR)

You can't use a FP for Fantasmic if you're using it for Toy Story - they are the same tier.
I would use FP for Toy Story, Frozen and Star Tours (if the whole family isn't doing each ride/attraction you will have a few extras to play with).
I would make your Jedi plans and run to TOT and RnR first thing. I'd do Little Mermaid and GMR later in the day.

Have fun!

 

[Pinkos]

Ugh. The tier gets me again. What are the chances of either being available that day?

 

[JaimeK]

I'd FP TOT (before you leave for your break) and then try to get a FP for Fantasmic immediately after you use your 3rd FP.

The meet and greet is now Kylo Ren and Chewbacca. No more Darth (I'm disappointed in this). We go in June. In all my research, I've heard Starring Rolls is great for lunch (but there isn't as many choices as some of the other QS). We are doing either the F! Lunch or dinner package at Hollywood and Vine. If you have the dining plan, it's still just 1 credit, same as eating there without the package.

 

[Pinkos]

The thing is that I don't want a table service for lunch we want a quick service ... It's not possible to do a fantastic package for quick service is it?

No, but you could change your existing TS ressie...or not.

We used our fourth FastPass+ for Fantasmic at around 3pm a few weeks back. It was threatening rain all day (never did) so that might have scared some folks off. I will note though that we initially tried to get Toy Story Mania with no luck. My husband and a few friends got RnR at the same time.

I was also shocked at how quickly the Toy Story line built up: 120 minutes by 10:30 while ToT and RnR hovered around 45 minutes all day.

The arena is HUGE though so a lot of people can fit into it and I'm not sure any seat would be badly you decide to use your FastPass+ elsewhere.

Thank you! Lots of good advice there!
