Hi all! We will be driving our car and not staying onsite, so no early entry for us. We want to start our day at Epcot and end it at HS. I'll try to grab a VQ for Guardians and I think we will buy Genie+ for HS and try to stack some LLs for Slinky, MF, ToT, and MMRR. We plan to park at HS and take the skyliner over to IG to try to do Remy first thing. Frozen is not a priority, so we would get in line for TT after that. We have a 10yo who doesn't like to get separated for rides, so we can't do single rider, but it's fine. We might do Soarin' and Spaceship Earth, but we want to get to HS a bit before 2:00 so we can hopefully hit our favorites. If I can secure those LLs, we'll also try to ride Rock n' Roller Coaster, Toy Story Mania, and hopefully get in line for Rise during Fantasmic.
Is this doable? This would be our first time trying Genie+ so I've read through the guide and I hope it goes smoothly 😅
Help me find the holes in my plan, please!
 
When are you going? Crowds will dictate whether or not arriving after ETPE guests will get you on Remy without a super long wait and of course, if Remy's down, you just bypass and head to TT. I've not parked at DHS and skyliner'ed over to Ep before but I'm sure there are groups that do this so there may be a bit of wait at the station. And, the crowds will also dictate what's left for post 2pm LL return times for PH guests. Just be sure you've read up on G+ and PH before you go and make sure you indicate which parks you'll be at for the day in the tip board.

I'd recommend you get to IG as early as you can and try to be the first of non-resort guests allowed in. I'd see no reason you can't get to DHS a bit before 2 given your short Ep to do list. Getting in line for Rise during Fantasmic is a good idea but do try go as close to park close as you can as the line will be shorter.

And just as I mentioned earlier, rides going down can be a sticky wicket but beyond that, I think you have a pretty solid plan.
 
Thank you for your tips! We're going on Monday, so I'm hoping it's not super crowded, but we'll see.
