DHS show strategy

[sersee05]

So we are trying to catch all the shows in dhs. Plus the rides...so.I'm trying to figure out a good strategy.

First fps. ..we want to do toy story which we have never been able to do. We also need to do the rollercoaster. Which one should I fp and which one should I hit at opening? We want to see beauty and the beast...does.that really need a fp?

I'm confused on some things. My son and I don't ride roller coasters. Can my two daughters use our bands to ride it twice? Once with their fp and then using our fp? That is if we fp it. Also someone told me to use my 3 fps and the get a 4th for fantasmic later. I can get another tier 1?

For tier 2 we will try for tot. We want to see the stunt show..so maybe get the fp for that? I don't think there were to many tier 2 that we were interested in.

So I have us going at 1:20 for stunt show and then heading over to the 3pm beauty and the beast. Is that time frame doable? We thought about doing the 11:15 Indiana Jones then getting lunch before 1:20 stunt show.

I also have to fit frozen in there. But it depends on when I can get the fps for.
After beauty and the beast...we are thinking of dinner. Then coming back and maybe doing the 630 or 730 frozen, then 930 frozen fireworks. Is it to hard to do 9pm fantasmic then 930 fireworks?

I also have my last day open to try and get done what we missed.

Tia!!

1. FP+ TSM. Ride RnRC at rope drop. (But, the opposite will work just fine, too.)
2. No. Arrive about 15-20 min. before show-time.
3. Yes.
4. That'll work most nights. Even as a 5th FP+ on some nights.
5. Yes. Anything you like (if available.)
6. OK.
7. Not needed. AT. ALL.
8. Yes.
9. OK, if you like.
10. OK.
11. OK.
12. Not doable. 9:00 F! ends at 9:30. Then, you must exit the theater.

Robo is right on. Also, RNRC has a single rider line, which would be shorter. This may also allow multiple rides. We usually RD RNRC and FP TSMM.

Awesome...and thanks for organizing my ramblings. I tend to think as I type..
1.Why do they fp things that don't really need it? So you can get a good seat?
2. With the shows, I should fp most of the rides in the morning? That way I will be able to fp Fantasmic?
3.So take the second fantasmic. How long is that show usually?

thank you!!

I may have missed you mentioning this, but I don't know when you are going. If you are going on a day with 2 Fanstasmic shows, don't use a FP and just attend the second Fantasmic. The show lasts about 30 minutes.

On our last trip (crowd level 8) we were able to ride ToT twice and RnRC just walking on while the first Famtasmic was playing. Our Fast Passes were for TSMM earlier in the day, and I agree with a previous poster...if you want to ride it twice, hit it at rope drop and FP it later, too. We chose to hang around ToT and RnRC coaster in the evening because of their proximity to the Ampitheather for Fantasmic. We were able to go GMR, Ariel, Frozen sing along, Muppets, One Man's Dream, Star Tours, M & G with Phineas and Ferb and more during the day. It was a fun time.

1. Nope. To herd uninformed guests away from premium desirable busy attractions and toward lesser attractions, and to appear as though guests are "getting something extra" because they got a "special entrance" to something that they could generally simply walk into, directly.

2. Sorta. You'd virtually automatically be finished with most (if not all) other attractions before
the start of Fantasmic!, anyway.

3. All Fantasmic! performances are the same half-hour length (except in the rare case of technical difficulties.)

definately FP+ TSM! You can get ToT and RNRC in right away in the morning.
