HS Thanksgiving Weekend Strategy

[TheBigErn]

On 11/30 HS has extra morning hours at 7am. We are 4 adults. We have FP for Star Tours (10:25am), Frozen (3pm) and SDD (6:35pm). We want to ride MF, ToT, RnRC and TSM as many times as possible. What rope drop strategy would you employ? What would be your plan of attack?

First I would modify those FPs to earlier times.

That's not happening. It is what it is.

I think a good question would be if you intend on seeing the Frozen sing-along. AKCFP - Always keep checking fastpass. I modified a ASwS FP for SDD for a 3:30 time at my 53 day mark (it was after I made my 60 day booking) for my first day, the day after your Nov 30 date.

That said...I'm going to assume you are completely unlucky and can't modify & Frozen is a "serious" use (which is fine, just a lot of people don't see value in show FP's since you generally don't need them):

EMH TSL>RNRC & ToT>Star Tours FP>Galaxy's Edge>Frozen>TSM>SDD FP>End of Night MFSR.

Why not? It is fairly easy to modify fast passes day of (and even the night before). Best strategy at HS these days is to work through your FP as early as possible and then start working MDE to keep them going. This past Sunday, we arrived at 9:45 with only a FP for RnR (9:35 - 10:35). We tapped in and picked up FP for Frozen at 10-10:15, and then while waiting in our seats picked up Star Tours for 11. Then picked up ToT for 11:35 while in Star Tours, RnR at 11:50 while waiting to board ToT, and TSMM for 12:25 while in RnR. Had a Oga reservation for 12:30 and went in after finishing on TSMM. Left the park at 1:40. During numerous searches, SDD showed up (all for afternoon between 4 and 6) and both TSMM and AS2 were readily available. It was pretty busy too - MFSM was 100 - 150, ToT was at 160 when we did it, and RnR was 90. YMMV, but it is your time if you want to wait around in lines all day.

Can anyone answer the original question based on the parameters of the question?

I did. EMH entire TSL. Then hit RNRC & TOT. Then Star Tours. Hit Galaxy's Edge for MFSR. Go to your Frozen Fastpass. Then TSM then SDD. Get in line for MFSR before close

Between 7:00 and 7:55 hit RnR and ToT first, then head over to TSM and hope the wait is minimal. Hopefully you can exit and get to MFSM before 8:00 and the rest of the crowds are allowed to enter the park and join the queue. If I had to eliminate one of those it would be TOT. It is an easier fastpass to get later in the day after you use SDD. Good luck.
