Hollywood Studios Afternoon Fastpass Availability

[kace08]

My family would like to park hop to HS after a morning at AK. We want to use our advance reservation Fastpasses for AK in the morning, go to HS in the afternoon and go back to AK in the evening for the Rivers of Light show and other evening AK activities.
My question is, would it be likely to get an individual fastpass to the Tower of Terror or Rockin Roller Coaster the day of touring after using our morning fastpasses? We will be touring in late August on a Wednesday which I think might be a lighter day in terms of crowds. Any advice?

If you'll be at AK at rope drop, you don't have to pre-book all 3 FPs for AK. If you pre-book 1, you can book your remaining 2 for DHS as soon as you enter that FP#1's line.

Our FP day is tomorrow. I have been playing around with times since we will park hop every day. For example, today at noon Disney time you can get Toy Story and Rockin Roller Coaster later in the evening and The Great movie Ride almost immediately. Surprisingly, Star Tours is not showing any availability.

It's not a busy time but it is a Saturday.

Our experience in early March was pretty positive in terms of getting good 4th and 5th FP at HS. We got ToT and TSMM without difficulty for late afternoon/early evening.

The Star Wars Celebration/Convention is happening in Orlando right now. SW fans are out in Force!

will there be 2 Rivers of Light shows that night? Standby might be rough if there's just one. Not to throw another wrench in your FP plans...

Same thing for us. On March 8.

Star Tours had a 110 minute wait on Tuesday (4/11) at 2:00! Thank goodness for FP!

I did think about that and fortunately they recently released a ROL dining package last week at Tusker House and I was able to make a breakfast reservation In the reservation they mention seating at the early ROL show but Disney is not showing two shows on their calendar the last time I checked.

Thank you for your feedback. My daughter is just now getting tall enough to ride the roller coasters and ToT so we are really excited to try those with her. I think I'll use one fastpass for pandora then try to get the HS fastpasses. Nothing else at AK is a must do for us this year except maybe Expetition Everest and we can do the single rider line for that one if we have to. I haven't tried the Express Transportation option between parks. If you have tried it, let me know if you think it is worth the extra cost.
Thanks again!
