Half day DHS strategy

[disneymore2]

Trying to hit the highlights of DHS for mid June.our must do’s
tsm
Alien
Slinky(1pm FP)
RoR(12pm Fp
Star tours (9am FP)
Meet and greet mike and sully
1130 50s prime time ADR

I think it’s doable- 9am park opening (as of now) alawyas do RD, but trying to avoid chaos of everyone going to slinky. My plan is to do tsm and Alien between 9-10 and have time to make the end of my star tours go window.That would give us plenty of time to do meet and greet and fit in anything that time permits before our lunch ADR. Then after lunch do ror and sdd FP- then head out. Any thoughts on the plan?

It's aggressive, but seems doable as long as you don't have any short legs not in a stroller. I agree the wildcard is your ability to get the two TSL attractions done before your ST FP+ window closes. I had a very similar plan (with two littles 3 and 6 yo) until we discovered DHS EMM was open on our trip.

Seems very doable. Based on things I've read, you should easily be able to do both TSMM and Alien at RD. Here's Easy WDW's (Josh)'s recent take on this (if allowed): https://www.easywdw.com/easy/blog/disneys-hollywood-studios-slinky-dog-dash-rope-drop-touring/

Ralph and Vanellope are at Epcot, so that won't work. Did you mean the Monster's Inc meet in Walt Disney Presents?

I did AS2 to TSMM in March and was off TSMM at 9:20. We signed up for Jedi Training first so didn't make it to AS2 until about 8:56am. I think you're fine from there to Star Tours. I would probably hit the Monsters Inc meet immediately thereafter. The line starts forming early and generally stays at 40ish minutes until late in the day, so you're going to have to suck it up and wait that one out one way or another.

You are right. My 11 yr old DD came up with her must dos. I know there is one meet and greet at DHS she wanted. Can’t remember which one. Will have to look when I get home tonight.

You should be able to swing it. The TSL part should be no problem with time to spare to make ST. I rope dropped the day after Thanksgiving and did all three rides back there in roughly 75 minutes so with just doing two, neither of which is the one drawing the most people, you should be clear.

Most of the other unique greets in HS (Olaf, Chewy, BB8, Kylo Ren, Dis Jr characters) tend to sport lower waits than Mike and Sulley, so you'd be fine with those. If she wants to do Woody/Jessie or Buzz, I'd bump your ST FP back 30 minutes and do that meet while you're still in TSL that first hour.

My only concern would be the 11:30 ADR and the 12-1 RNR FP. Depending on crowd levels and speed of service, it might take more than an hour/hour and a half for lunch. I would perhaps try to get to your ADR a little early with the hopes that they can get you seated a little early.

I'm not sure about you, but I can't do RNR right after eating a big lunch. I have to give my lunch a little time to settle before going on a thrill ride. Just something to consider for you and those in your party.

Otherwise, I think it looks like a pretty good plan!

Have a great trip!

Thanks for the responses everyone! I edited my post- the meet and greet is with mike and sully. I guess we will just have to wait that one out

Also any thoughts on what time i should arrive at the turnstiles... most of the recommendations are for SD
