Only one voucher, what would you do?

[cfmarie79]

So I am agonizing over this and I could really use some good advice/opinions. I have one voucher and would love to use it for fast passes either at MK or EPCOT to get the most bang for my buck. Here's the twist... we only have a half day at DHS and we won't get there until at least 1 or 2 PM, I am in charge of a five year old boy's happiness and absolutely have to get him on TSM! I know FPs will be sold out by then, and I cannot risk waiting in the standby line (for one hour, two?) but I hate to waste my GAD FPs on only ONE ride at Hollywood Studios, no less. What would you do?

On the bright side, one attraction, but three times to ride it...I understand your dilemma, though. Pretty sure you will be a Rockstar in his eyes . When are you going?

We're going December 6th... that's our DHS day. It really kills me not to use this pass at MK. Is it a suicide mission to try and wait standby for TSM after 1PM?

The line for Toy Story Mania is long, but the queue is really entertaining. We went last month and our kids wanted to ride it again after we used our fastpasses and the line was a 70 minute wait. They are 10, 8, and 6 and generally don't wait in line very well. However, there was so much to see that the wait time seemed to pass very quickly. Of course, that is time that you don't have to see other attractions, but if your just worried about him not being able to wait it might be easier than it sounds!

If you are going to DHS prior to MK why not ask on the way in, prior to passing the turnstiles? Some CM's have radios and would probably be willing to find out for you what the current standby line wait is. If the wait is too long you could go straight to redeem the GAD fast pass.

What else are you planning at DHS?
If its not a lot, then waiting in line might not be bad.
Also, consider your plans for Epcot and MK. If you're getting there at rd, GAD FP might not be necessary.

yeah pretty much. you are looking a MINIMUM wait of an hour for each ride, and it has been spiking as much as 3 hours mid day lately (relevant b/c the crowds this time of year are comparable to the time you are going). I know that would not make my 5 yr old boy happy at all.

If you want him to ride TSM use the GAD FP card there. MK's rides aren't anywhere near as long a wait as TSM and with good use of time and FP you can get to all of the GAD FP ride easily with regular FP use.

These are some really good suggestions. We don't plan on doing too much at HS that day, we would like to hit RRC, Little Mermaid, Beauty & the Beast, Playhouse Disney and Osborne Lights. We have to be back to the Contemporary for 8PM Chef Mickey reservations. I feel like we'll have plenty of time but I just worry!

I would definitely use it at DHS! MK is too easy without the extra FPs!!
