DCA rope drop/1st Genie+ to book

[KKB]

BFF & I are doing 1 day park hopper next week starting at DCA as it has Oogie Boogie that night.
Planning to maximize G+, POSSIBLY buy LL.
Bought touring plans but have heard those might not be super helpful currenly.

I have scoured these boards & various blogs and have come up with 3 possible starting points.
I realize there is NO perfect plan but looking for others' thoughts.

A--Rope Drop Webslingers, grabbing 1st G+ for Toy Story
B--Rope Drop Webslingers, grab 1st G+ for GoG
C--Rope Drop GoG, grab 1st G+ for 2nd GoG ride

We are looking to ride more "grown up" rides at each park.
Head to DL sometime after 1PM...after hitting the major rides (maybe GoG 2x) & lunch.

Are you attending Early Entry?
Do you have no interest in Guardians Monsters After Dark?
Are you buying Individual Lightning Lane?

No EE
I'd like to do Monsters but with only 1 day & Oogie Boogie I figure it is more of a hassle than it's worth.
Considering ILL.
It seems RSR works well using single rider line so might try that.

Would you use Single Rider for Web Slingers?

Absolutely!

Rope Drop Guardians, SR WS and SR Racers.
If you can finish and get to Pixar Pier by 845am you can so TSMM and Incredicoaster easily by 9am.

Or SR WS at Rope Drop, Guardians, and then SR Racers.

Definitely do SR for both Web and RSR; you will save enormous amounts of time. The SR line for Web is not usually long, and sometimes you end up in the same ride vehicle anyway. Ride GOTG in the morning, either standby if it is still early in the day or LL. You can book the LL for around 10am, and try to SB GOTG first so you can ride it twice easily. Since SR lines will not build immediately, I would favor:

-GOTG at RD (and book LL for GOTG for later in the morning, buy RSR ILL$ if you want to ride together later after you ride it SR; buy ILL$ for ROTR at DL for afternoon time (you may have to wait until the times hit early afternoon, but they go quickly)
-SR RSR (use back pathway through old “Bugs Land” to get from -GOTG to RSR quickly)
-SR Webslingers
-LL GOTG
-LL TSMM
-LL IC
-Book LL for GOTG MAD (if you don’t have a party ticket) at noon, to ride before you leave DCA


Now you have hit all of the “adult” rides in the park and it is probably still before 11 or noon. You can then start booking LLs for DL for later in the day (you may feel like leaving DCA around 3pm when the “mix in” starts, as it does get very crowded from 3-6pm). You may want to focus on getting your first LL for DL on HMH since it runs out VERY quickly right now. The time may be far out when you go to book it, but do some refreshes on the app to see if you can get an earlier time. It often will advance the time by several hours sooner if you take 5 minutes to keep refreshing (make sure to Edit the Tip Board when you start the refresh process so that HMH stays at the top of the Tip Board so you can see it easily to book any better time that is offered-it will go in a flash if you don’t click “book” immediately).

Can’t tell if you have a party ticket, but if you do, you should be able to ride GOTG MAD during the party, especially right after the first parade ends, with about a 15 minute wait. Once the parade is done, rush over there and ride it. My DH and DD17 rode it last night during the party, and they said it was amazing (and very different than the regular GOTG that you will have ridden earlier in the day). So worth it!!!

If you don’t have a party ticket, you can book a LL for GOTG MAD even though you have already done a LL on regular GOTG. So they drop the MAD LLs around noon, I think.

Have a blast!!
