HS Touring: Early ADR & Jedi Training--Launch Bay?

[summerw]

We have an 8am ADR for Hollywood & Vine. DS6 wants to do Jedi Training (ideally the 1:10 show). Would you go immediately to sign ups or would you risk it and try for TSMM first? It's 4/6, CL=5 per easywdw.com, a recommended day.

Also, we have a Disney Visa and were thinking of hitting the Launch Bay. Are the lines rough (longer than 25 minutes-ish) after 1? Is there a time to hit it that's good (other than park opening)? How long would you give to meet the characters? We will breeze by the other stuff.

Has there been any word on the Ezra / Sabine meet? Confirmed? Opening date?

Thanks!

If you absolutely want a certain time, go to sign ups. If you're open to be flexible, head for TSMM. The new sign up system has more slots available, if you're flexible, and you can probably do TSMM so long as you don't get involved in anything worse than a 20-minute wait.

I haven't seen Ezra or Sabine confirmed yet.

Thanks, I'm definitely flexible although it would be nice to get that time as I have tentative plans for different shows. I always feel like it's so hard to plan HS around all the shows and Jedi Training isn't making it easier.

Oh and how long should I plan for Jedi Signups coming from H&V--I will be sure they leave by 8:40 even if we miss a character.

With the new rope drop process, I don't know that leaving from H&V gives you any advantage over everyone else any more. Haven't been since they changed the holding areas. Half an hour or 45 minutes, maybe? Signup is still manual.

We arrived late at the park 10:00am in early Dec. and waited about 15min in line to sign up. We were offered a 1:15? time to come back but asked for a later time because we had other plans around that time.

Ugh, that's what I'd heard too. 45 minutes is kinda brutal. Too bad they didn't automate this or at least streamline.

Well, that would be ideal. I make FPs tomorrow night and I'm having a hard time nailing much down and feeling confident.
