Any thoughts on if this plan seems do-able? Should I change any FP+ times? This is for Fri 11/20 Easywdw lists it as a 3 crowd level and HS is Recommended but not Most Recommended.

I don't want to plan on arriving before 10AM bc we have MVMCP night before, and we have 3 kids age 4-9 and want to stay for F! and Osborne Lights.

We go next week so Toy Story FP+ time is set and there isn't much else left for Frozen Singalong, though I read a FP isn't totally necessary for that.

Only thing I didnt see being able to fit in is Little Mermaid ride but Id like to try...see anywhere to squeeze it in? Id like to do Beauty and Beast but we did it 4 years ago so we could skip if need be. And kids dont want to try ToT or RnR, though I think I could convince my DD to try RnR w/ DH. We might be able to squeeze in another 1/2 day here, think we need to?

The Little Mermaid is a show, not a ride. I'd look at the schedule and see if there is a performance that works with your schedule.

Your current plan looks fine. In my experience, meeting the Cars only took about 3 minutes so you might have some extra time there.

I don't think they have set times for Little Mermaid - shows start about every 20 -25 minutes all day. You'll probably have time after dinner (shouldn't take more than an hour) and we got excellent seats for F! (we had dinner package) getting there 45 minutes ahead. Little Mermaid is just across the hub from H & V (5 minute walk at most) and in the general direction of F!

I would move the Toy Story Fast Pass until later and I think you can fit in either little mermaid or batb. I was under the impression Honey I shrunk the kids was still closed. Double check about that.

10:00 arrive

10:20 Star Tours (10:20-11:20 FP+)

10:45 Meet Phineas Ferb

11:00 Lunch Pizza Planet

12:00 Muppet Vision

1:15 Meet Monster's Inc

2:00 Frozen Singalong (1:35-1:50 FP+)

Disney Jr Characters and 2:35 or 3:00 Little Mermaid Show
or you could do 3:00 Beauty and the Beast if you prefer that


4:15 Minnies Hollywood & Vine Dinner

5:15-6:15ish Toy Story Fast Pass and meet Buzz and Woody (might have to cut buzz and woody to make it to F!)

7:00 Fantasmic

8:00 Osborne Lights … Time to pop in Honey I shrunk Kids?
 
if you have three kids age 4-9 then I think Honey I shrunk the kids is a definite. My kids would much prefer to play there than go see a show.
 
When you list 12:30 as the time for Lights Motors Action, do you mean that's the time you're going to show up for the 1:00 show?

Note that the showtime is at 1:00 (at least it is this week) and runs for about 30 minutes, so there is no way you will make the 1:25 Toy Story Mania FP+ (unless they give you a 15-minute late grace period, but I sure wouldn't want to count on that!).
 
Just make sure your show times sync with your plans and you should be good to go. They look fine to me.
