HS - morning or afternoon?

[mamateacher]

Looking for some advice/suggestions for a HS strategy. For our family, HS is a half day, so is it best to do HS at rope drop and another park in the afternoon, or rope drop another park and do HS in the afternoon? And, which park should i get FPs for? Which scenario below is best?

1) Morning: HS rope drop and fastpasses/////Afternoon MK or EP
2) Morning: HS rope drop /////Afternoon MK or EP and fastpasses

3) Morning: MK or EP rope drop and fastpasses//////HS afternoon
4) Morning: MK or EP rope drop //////HS afternoon and fastpasses

Thank you so much!!

If you're planning on riding ROTR you need to be at DHS at opening. And I would definitely do fastpasses at DHS; the lines were crazy on my trip a couple weeks ago.

If you want to ride Rise of Resistance you will have to be at HS at rope drop. Reason being it has no stand by or fastpasses. Right now they are giving out boarding groups right at opening and they are usually gone within minutes. You have to be inside the park the minute it opens. Unless things change and they start giving fastpasses out for it.

I would be there at RD.
If you want to do RoTR, you must be.
If you don't care about RoTR, at RD, the other rides will have a very short line. That won't be the case in the afternoon.

Thank you all. What kind of ride is RoTR?

It uses several different ride systems, so it's hard to nail it down as one type of ride, but it's mostly a trackless dark ride.

Check youtube. It's pretty cool!

Even if you don't want to ride Rise of the Resistance, the other rides will have long lines in Toy Story Land because of people with boarding passes heading there first. You can only get a fast pass for S inky Dog Dash or Smuggler's Run now, so those will be swamped first thing by people who didn't get one of those fast passes. I'm not really sure you can call HS a half day park anymore unless you ride the three rides you get FP's for, and a couple of shows. It really has so much more now-
