We're heading down for a couple days soon. I'm looking for updated info so I can make a plan. Haven't been in more than 15 years, so pretty new at this.
1) If I'm reading the website correctly, USO and IoA will both have early open when we're there (6/21 and 6/22). We're doing 2 day single park tickets. Parks open at 8 on Monday and at 9 on Tuesday. I'm assuming they expect it to be busier on Monday because it opens earlier? But that also means the early entry should be earlier so maybe worthwhile? I want to do IoA on the day it will be easiest to do Hagrids and/or VC. Which day would you do IoA?
2) I have the app, but am not sure of the best way to stay in touch with Hagrids and VC going to VQ. Where am I supposed to watch? I'd like to ride both, but Hagrids is the priority. We probably won't wait if the line is over an hour.
3) We're onsite so have EP, but obviously not for those attractions.
4) I'm worried about the heat and the food. I need to get breaks from the heat, but I'm seeing reports of half hour waits just to get indoors at a food place. What's your best "go to" plan for this? I get lightheaded when I don't eat. And I get overheated easily. So I need a plan for dealing with both issues. I did make a TS reservation each of those 2 days but not at great times. But I'll need a second break on each day. Not sure with one day per park that I want to leave the park.
5) Staying at Royal Pacific. How far ahead of rope drop should we leave the hotel to head for the parks for early entry?
