EPCOT or HS for early entry

[aronny]

We are going this coming holiday weekend and will have only Saturday and Sunday in the parks. It will be me, my husband, and 3.5 year old. We're thinking a fully day at MK on Sunday but we're not sure where to start Saturday. We're really only looking at attractions for our daughter and our priorities for EPCOT are Remy, Frozen, the Nemo ride and in HS really only Toy Story Land. I'm thinking start with Epcot but I'm really not sure. Interested to hear others' thoughts.

If you are purchasing Genie+, I would recommend doing Hollywood Studios first, given your priorities.

At 7:00 am (or soon thereafter), Lightning Lane times for Remy should be after 2:00 pm (when you can hop). By 10:30 (when you are eligible to book your second Lightning Lane), Frozen will have a return time well after 2:00. You won't need a Lightning Lane for Nemo (although you may want to grab it at 12:30 as your third Lightning Lane).

If you go to Toy Story Mania first thing at Hollywood Studios, you shouldn't have too much of a wait.

Thank you! Yes, will be doing Genie+.

One thing to consider that Epcot on a Saturday is packed with Food and Wine crowds, especially at night. If your only priorities are Remy, Frozen, Nemo, and Toy Story Land, I suggest Epcot first. You have two top tier rides there and none at HS. Get a 7am G+ for Remy and rope drop Frozen. In addition to Nemo, do Turtle Talk, Living with the Land, and Figment. Consider doing Spaceship Earth and Grand Fiesta as well. Use a combination of standby and G+ in the morning, then start stacking for HS. By 2pm you’ll still be able to get G+ for Runaway Railway, Toy Story Mania and Alien Saucers.

I think this is pretty much exactly what we’re going to (try to!) do, mostly to maximize our chances of not having to wait too long for Remy/Frozen. Thank you!

Depends on what your daughter is interested in. Mine just wanted to camp out for Aurora in Epcot.

There’s *a lot* of Frozen in my life . . .
