Hollywood Studios Plans

[s u]

Looking to do the following at Hollywood Studios:

1. Toy Story Mania (fastpass+)
2. Lights, motors, action
3. Frozen Sing Along
4. Muppet Vision
5. Star Tours 3d (Fastpass+)
6. Indians Jones
7. Little Mermaid
8. Disney Junior
9. Magic of Animation
10. Beauty and the Beast
11. Fantastic at 8:30

My questions are these:

Are any of these attractions not appropriate for 6 year olds?
We'd like to time our arrival so that we aren't sitting around waiting for Fantasmic.....what time should we arrive at the park? We will need some time to eat lunch and dinner and we will probably do some character meets.
What would you suggest as a third fastpass?
What times would you suggest the Fastpasses be set for?

Looks like a great plan!

None of it is inappropriate for a 6 year old
As for your Fantasmic question, I can't speak for that since I haven't seen it
Maybe fastpass a Little Mermaid show? I think the theater is relatively small, so getting there as early as you can is a good idea. I would schedule it for one of the afternoon performances, as it's a nice, short break from the heat- good for a post-lunch break

Highly suggest you do some homework on Show Times because that will greatly affect what you can get done. Sometimes there are only a few LMA happening each day. The other shows are not revolving but strictly scheduled Frozen, Beauty & Beast and Indiana Jones. We find it difficult to do all shows in one day and still do attractions, meet & greet and eat one meal let alone two. While the park may not have a lot the set times affects your day.

I agree with a 3rd FP+ for Little Mermaid. The standby line outside can get long, hot or wet depending on weather and you could be out there 20+ minutes waiting for a show to finish assuming you get in after that show. Then you go inside to a holding room for the duration of another show. Getting the FP+ allows you to skip the outdoor wait. Depending on when you go it can be very long. I would shoot for all your FP+ as early as possible so you could possibly pick up others. We have been offered Fantasmic later in the day a few times.

Most of the attractions on your list were things we recently did on our HS trip. We were a group of 11, and this is what we did on a crowd level 4 day. Hope this helps.

1. RD- TSMM
2. 9:30- Little Mermaid
3. 10:00- Mike and Sully M&G
4. 10:30- Disney Jr.
5. 11:00- Lunch
6. 12:35- Frozen Show (arrive 20 minutes early)
7. 1:20- LMA Stunt Show
8. 2:10- Star Tours (FP+ 1:45-2:45)
9. 2:40- Muppets 3D
10. 3:15- TSMM (FP+ 2:45-3:45)
11. 4:00- Indiana Jones
12. 4:45- quick Dinner
13. 5:30- Beauty and the Beast
14. 6:00- Tower of Terror (FP+ 5:30-6:30) (Mr. Incredible M&G for kids and one adult)
15. 6:30- Art of Animation
16. 7:00- Great Movie Ride
17. 7:30- Buzz & Woody M&G
18. 7:50- some did RnRC, the rest got seats for Fantasmic
19. 8:30- Fantasmic

Some were exhausted after a long day, but everything went perfectly to get all this in. Recommend doing rope drop if you hope to get most of this done. We arrived 5 minutes early to all shows except Frozen, but during busier times you might want to arrive earlier. This is how we did it, and Tower of Terror was our 3rd FP.

Little Mermaid is too adult for a 6 year old. Clam shells?! C'mon...

The only one I'd be a little worried about is Indiana Jones and Lights Motor Action as some of the pyrotechnics and other stunts might be a little intense. Same with Great Movie Ride for the Aliens scene.

None of them are absolute stoppers though - You know your kid the best!

It might be hard to do both stunt shows and Beauty and the Beast due to limited show times. We ended up skipping both stunt shows, but they were a low priority for us. Maybe if the stunt shows had air conditioning. LOL. We did several meet and greets and rode star tours and TSM both twice and other rides once. It was so hot watching Beauty and the Beast live in summer, but it was a good show! We also missed the little mermaid and the art of animation, but we lost some time going over to the Beach club for dinner before coming back for Fantasmic. Arrive early if you want decent seats. We ended up way in the back--on a very low crowd day, too!
