Pre-Park Breakfast at HS- How to Maximize Benefits?

[AtlantaDisneyDreamer]

My daughter and a I have a pre-park breakfast (8 am) at H&V on a Saturday in June with no EMH and no EMM.

I have read that there will be very little if any benefit as far as getting in before the crowds to the rides because the breakfast will not be done before everyone else is already in, but what would you do right after breakfast?

We already have fastpasses for ToT, R&R, and SDD. Should we head straight to Alien Swirling Saucers? I also read that sometimes that ride has shorter waits in the afternoon. Would Toy Story MM be a better choice for our first ride? Head to ToT and R&R and just ride them each twice- once with a fastpass and once first thing in the morning?

My daughter loves all the rides- I was just wondering how to maximize our time in the park. We haven't been to HS since Toy Story Land opened and I wondered about the first crowds in the park. I imagine everyone heads to TSL first, but ToT and R&R may also develop heavy crowds early on (that's where everyone used to head first).

What are your thoughts?

You're right in that there's no need to rush through Breakfast. They'll hold the crowd all together on Hollywood Blvd until opening and then most will run toward SDD...or by that time GE. Since you already have SDD, you're smart to go to TSMM or Aliens, if those are of importance. Be careful in the stampede! I've never seen anything like it outside of HS. Have a great time!

Thanks. We are going this June so we will not have GE crowds to contend with. I hate the mad rushes. I like to go where others do not. Which is ironic, given my love for Disney World.

Right. Sorry. I have a DLR trip planned and have May 31st for GE in my head. You're right. You're gonna love SDD...he's terrific.
