GAD at HS - How Early?

[Elmo007]

I am going this week and will redeem my GAD Vouchers at HS. I want to get there early beacuse last time I went I showed up 20 minutes after opening and there was a 65 minute wait at TSM.

The day I am going HS opens at 9 am. How early can I redeem them so I can join the "real early birds" at TSM

BTW - where exactly do I redeem them?

Thanks

Will Call opens 30 minutes before the first guests are allowed into the park, including EMH and breakfast reservations. So for a 9:00 opening, Will Call will open at 7:30. After passing through the security check, I think it is to the right, but it will be marked. We redeemed a voucher for FP cards at DHS and I think it was the same window as Guest Relations (before the turnstiles), but I might be confusing it with another park.

I'm not sure if you are redeeming for admission or FP cards, but the FP cards were sweet at DHS. We rode TSM three times before noon and used our park tickets to get ToT and RnR FPs. We probably saved 5-6 hours of waiting. TSM FPs ran out at 11:15 that day, but I was able to get 8 FPs using our GAD FP cards - we had already used four earlier that morning.

Thanks. Good advice but I need to use my GAD for admission. I am upgrading from a 2 day to 3 day and the benefit of FP is outweighed by the cost of the ticket
