Hollywood Studios PPO

Can anyone speak to recent experiences with a Disney Junior PPO breakfast? I have heard horror stories about the Toy Story rope drop and am wondering if that breakfast will get us back ahead of the crazy? (We will do the breakfast anyway, but am trying to decide between busting it to get there right at 8 or trying to be eating when everyone else is stampeding!)

Toy Story rope drop for some reason does tend to be a vicious one. Even pre park opening ADRs don’t help much. You’re better off going early and just waiting at the entrance.

We did a ppo breakfast this past December. I honestly think it would put you at a disadvantage from what we saw. We weren't trying to rope drop anything, but we noticed they let the rope drop crowd in at about 8:20 and they filled up the street. I didn't watch when exactly they walked them to the ride, but you would be at the back of the pack I'd you did breakfast.

Given the state of HS right now and TSL being "the" place to be at the moment, there really isn't anything that's going to help deal with it. RD right now is almost inherently bad because there's not a lot of space for the crowd to disperse to, and with TSL being the newest attractions everyone instinctively heads that way. I don't think the PPO will help you at all, and I think you'll just have to deal with the RD crowd if getting to the rides is your intent.

It’s really worth the effort to stalk mde for a FP. They pop up all the time, you just have to be there when they do or ride it late at night when wait times drop. There is no cure for the RD situation at HS except another new ride to draw the crowd away.

On Thanksgiving, we had a Disney Jr PPO breakfast at 8am. We were out of the restaurant and at the TSL entrance by 8:45 (9am Park Opening) and the SDD line was already at 180 minutes. Thankfully we had a FP for it later in the day, so when the CM let everyone into Toy Story Land we went directly to the other two rides and pretty much walked on both of them.

I see no benefit to a PPO breakfast at DHS right now for TSL. We rope dropped and it was hectic. I found most people to be extremely rude and when people starting running, I just thought, WOW really for a ride?? But I digress. If riding SDD and seeing TSL on top priority over the breakfast, I would skip the meal and just wait. Just be prepared for the nuts. We did not run and we ended up getting in line and waited maybe 20 min.
