DHS Touring Plan

[tink9702]

Hi! I need a plan of attack for HS, please help!

September 17th, Saturday, recommended park, current hours are 9am to 7:30pm
myself, husband, son (7 years old) & daughter (5 years old)
Dinner reservation at Sci-Fi Diner for 5:15pm
We don't plan on taking a break at the hotel, just QS meal and sitting down at shows in the early afternoon.

Priorities:
Toy Story
Launch Bay
Rock n' Roller Coaster - with rider switch since DD is not tall enough
meeting Kylo (with Disney Visa) & Chewy
Star Tours - riding twice hopefully
Frozen Sing-a-Long

Other things we want to do:
Indiana Jones
Beauty & the Beast
Star Wars a GAlaxy Far Far Away
Meet Woody & Buzz
Captain Phasma March
Meet the Jawas

Questions:
1. Should I obtain FP+ for Toy Story, Star Tours and Frozen show?
2. Ropedrop RnRC and then head for Star Tours? or Buzz&Woody, RnRC then Star Tours? or some other combination for the first three rides of the day?
3. How long is the Launch Bay, Kylo, Chewy & the Jawas going to take all together? DH is a fairly big Star Wars fan and DS is also into Star Wars.
4. Any recommendations for lunch or afternoon snacks?

I loosely based my DHS plan on what easywdw.com recommends. You might want to check that out if you're not familiar with it already. http://www.easywdw.com/easy/hollywo...s-rope-drop-wait-times-and-fastpass-priority/

Agree with ddavev. You'll want to hit RNRC- first for the shortest standby lines.

In the past, I've gotten a FP for TSSM and rope dropped RNRC. This didn't work out for us on our last trip in June 2014 because RNRC was having problems that week and was frequently offline. We didn't get to ride it at all on that trip.

In June, we're going to rope drop TS and use FP+ for RNRC and ToT (not on your list but we love it.) My hope is to get through TSMM fairly quickly since they have a 3rd track now, then ride ToT once on standby then again with FP.

Since you're going in mid-September, crowd levels should be a little lower. I'm sure you could FP once for Star Tours, then probably ride it again after dinner on a fairly short standby. The plan at easywdw.com can give you more specific guidance on order and approximate wait times.

Hmm, that gives me pause on RDing RnRC. Good point on Star Tours in the evening. No one in the family wants to ride ToT. The kids are terrified and neither adult likes that kind of ride - both of us get sick on things that drop like that. Give me a looped upside down roller coaster any day - drop me in an elevator and I'm sick as a dog!

Thanks! Yes, I've checked out their plan.
