FP + priorities at Hollywood Studios

[Princessmom0617]

We are leaving in a week and Hollywood Studios is usually our favorite park. We have two little kids, so we will be sticking to the "kid friendly" rides/shows. Which ones would you suggest getting Fastpass plus for? I have never seen Great Movie Ride busy, so I am guessing that is out. We like to do Little Mermaid, Muppet Vision, Disney Jr., and Indiana Jones- which two of those are most likely to get busy?

Also, has anyone been to HS staying offsite- wondering which kiosk locations might have the shortest line. We are planning on Rope Drop to try to do TSM, but won't be devastated if that doesn't work out.

I can't speak from personal experience, but I've been doing a lot of reading, especially on easywdw.com Here's Josh's HS cheat sheet: http://www.easywdw.com/cheatsheets/hs_cheat_sheet_fastpass_plus.pdf It needs to be updated since there are no more paper FP, and I'm not sure it will be done if you're leaving in a week. If you email Josh your question, he's usually very good about answering quickly. You will definitely be able to ride TSM if you're there at RD. You shouldn't have a problem scheduling a FP+ since so far it seems like there have been plenty for off-site guests day of. I would say to look for a kiosk that's far away from where most people are heading first thing in the morning. Maybe go ride TSM first thing, then head to another area to look for a kiosk. From easywdw.com: FastPass+ Priority: Tier One (Choose One): 1. Toy Story Mania 2. Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster 3. Fantasmic 4. Beauty and the Beast Live on Stage Tier 2 (Choose Two): 1. Tower of Terror 2. Great Movie Ride 3. Voyage of the Little Mermaid 4. Star Tours 5. Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular 6. Disney Jr. Live on Stage 7. Lights, Motors, Action! Extreme Stunt Show 8. American Idol Experience 9. Muppet Vision 3D FastPass+ Kiosks:  FastPass+ Service Center just inside the Park on the left  Guest Relations outside the entrance  Tower of Terror FASTPASS machines  Voyage of the Little Mermaid FASTPASS machines  Wait times board – just to the right of it Maybe more have been added since there are no more paper FP.... Not sure...
