Help planning HS day!

[cole4/25]

I need someone to help me figure out how to do my HS day....I already have FP's picked but will change as needed so not even going to tell you the times (I think seeing the times is what is throwing me off in my plan rearranging). There will be 5 adults (3 of us have been many times & 2 newbies), hours are 9-9 & we are not rope drop people. More like 10-11......plus we will have been out late the night before. We have an ADR at Captains Grille at 5:15 & then was hoping to wonder around there before heading back to HS to get a good spot about 8 for SWAGS at 9. We don't do ToT or RNRC or any character greets so those don't need to be figured in. My FP priorities are Star Tours & Toy Story Mania.....the 3rd FP I had made for Frozen Sign along but ??? I mostly want a really solid schedule - whether we stick to it or not is one thing but need to have a plan. So, how do we fit in Indiana Jones (times are 12, 1:15, 3:15, 4:45 & 6), Beauty & the Beast (times are 11, 1, 2, 4 & 5), TSM, Star Tours, the Little Mermaid, Great Movie Ride, Muppets Vision, probably SW Launch Bay & maybe Frozen Sing Along. So basically we have from the time we get there to the time we HAVE to leave to make it to our ADR. Any ideas in how to do this & when to schedule the FP's for would be greatly appreciated!!

We have an ADR at Captains Grille at 5:15

My first question is "Why Captain's Grille"? If you're a guest at the Yacht Club I could see it but since you are leaving HS and traveling anyway I think you could do much better in the world showcase or even Sci Fi or mama melrose (if you don't have hoppers). I don't personally think it's worth a special trip unless there is some sort of sentimental reason behind it.

Depending on when you arrive I'd knock out the shows first thing. Beauty and the Beast at 11 and Indiana Jones at 12pm. The dead time between could be spent in Launch Bay. Ideally, arrive at 10, catch Great Movie Ride, then Beauty and the Beast (11 am), then Launch Bay, then Indiana Jones (12 pm), Little Mermaid, Toy Story Mania (FP 12:30 - 1:30), Muppets, Star Tours (FP+ 1:30-2:30), Frozen Sing Along, March of the First Order (3 pm).

(I think thats everything but didn't triple check it)

Not guest of yacht, no sentimental reason, have no desire to eat anywhere in HS, already have multiple ADRs in Epcot, place we have never eaten that is 1 table credit (use of DDP vs OOP is not up for discussion) & want to walk around the Boardwalk area......but thanks for your thoughts.......
