Help with my plans 1st Monday in February for DHS

[Jon Paul]

Arrive Sunday Jan. 31st, being picked up at the airport by a friend that lives in Orlando staying with him for the night.

Monday February 1st, me and my friend are driving to fort wilderness to drop my bags off at Bell services so my friend can head home after DHS and I will head back to the fort to set up camp. Than heading to DHS, hoping to get to DHS about 815 because my Friend is using a Florida Resident ticket and needs to have his ID checked, and than hoping it won't interfere with RD at 900.

Monday February 1st DHS arrive at RD:

Go straight to TSMM, and than try to get RRC and HTT in before 1045
11:00 Beauty and the Beast live on stage
11:25-12:25 FP for HTT (Trying to hit all the big rides at least twice)
12:25-1:25 FP for TSMM
*Maybe try to fit the great movie ride in between these two, timing will be tight with FP and lunch
1:25-2:25 FP for Star Tours
2:15 ADR for Sci Fi dine in
After lunch Do Star Wars Launch Bay
4:00 Indianna Jones Epic stunt spectacular, which should be done about 4:40

Than do the Great Movie Ride if we didn't do it before, and than Star tours, RRC and maybe HTT one more time before the park closes at 7. The DLR version of HTT is my favorite so I want to try to do that one three times.

How Feasible is this plan as in there anything we should definitely do that I left off?
Will be doing dinner at the Fort after I set up camp. Not worried about doing it in the dark, I will have lights and stuff with me.

I'm at WDW the rest of the week but decided to just post the plan for Monday for now. Thanks for all the help!!!

Any help or critiquing would be appreciated, thank you.

Great Movie Ride can get long lines these days. You might want to consider trying to get a 4th FP for it, or moving it earlier in the day.

Also, be aware that rope drop isn't right at 9:00. They'll start letting people in the entrance around 8:30, and will hold the crowd at internal ropes until around 8:45 or so. If you aren't in the front of the pack, You'll have a wait when you get to TSMM, which could throw off the rest of your plan. You might want to have a Plan B in case your friend doesn't get finished at Giest Relations in time.

I'm also not sure if you'll have time to do Sci-Fi at 2:15, then Launch Bay, and then get to Indy in time. Are you planning on seeing characters there? If you're just walking through, it might not be a problem, but I've often waited to get seated at Sci-Fi.

Even with an ADR you think it might take more than an hour? We just want to see it not really stand for the character s

You might fare better than we usually do, but even with ADR's we've often waited 15 minutes or more to be seated. Going after the lunch rush might work in your favor, though. And, maybe we've just had bad luck, but service always seems slow there. I usually budget 90 minutes to eat, just to be on the safe side.

I think it depends how long you don't mind waiting in line that will determine if you will get on Star Tours, RRC and HTT (you mean TOT right?) after Indiana Jones. We were there in June and that would've meant HUGE lines with no fp+..... After Star Tours you def should try to get a 4th fp+ for one of the rides you're hoping to do again. When we were there last even Great Movie Ride had a 45 min wait.....

I think I will try to do a 4th FP for great movie ride. I'm thinking trying to fit it in inbetween the TSMM FP and Star Tours FP is never going to happen, but we should have maybe a 30 minute window to go see the Launch bay. Its just me and my friend and we both are very nimble so making good time from attraction to atraction shouldn't be a problem, I think I have done a descent job of trying to do things near each other for the most part. Is seeing the 3rd stage show in DHS worth it? The extreme stunt show? I know I want to see the other two, but just wanted to ask about that one.
