Quick trip plan questions

[ExcitedMama]

Our first full day at the parks is going to be Monday. We are staying at DLH so I was planning to start the day at DCA for EMH. DL will open at the same time. What time would Jedi Training start to fill up? I want to try and schedule for it to be done by 12, will there be slots left between if we get there by 9-10? Or will they be out?

How would you use the EMH? Would you go immediately to Soarin'? Then try RSR? Or get a FP for RSR? We are not going to try to get GOTG. Ideally we'd get Soarin' and RSR done and go to DL to try and cross off Jedi Training.

DD has BBB at 1 so hoping to stop for lunch at 12. DS would really like to get to HM, POTC and Indy, what's the best strategy? Just check the app for waits? In order to decide what to wait for and what to FP?

We are doing the party that night so I want to check off HM before there's a line. Plan is to get in line for the pre-party. Any other advice? Thanks!

I don't know about some of your questions, but HMH is basically not doable during the day if you don't have a FP, unless you want to wait in a 90+ minute line. If you don't want to get a FP for it, then plan to do it it during the party. The wait times will only get shorter the later into the party. Post-fireworks would be your best bet.

POTC has had long waits recently. My thought is people are in the area for HMH, see the ridiculous wait, and decide to do POTC instead. I've seen the waits shoot up to 45 minutes in the past week. I'd wait until there is a 25 minute or less wait for it. OR you can do it during the party as a walk-on.

Best bet for Indy if you don't do FP is Single Rider. Or again, during the party for 15 minutes or less waits

Thanks! My son is finally tall enough for Indy so we are definitely doing that one together. Any idea how quickly FP are running out for HM? I think both kids have to be present for Jedi sign up, do they need their tickets for sign up? Or could DH take our tickets and tr to get HM FP?

Any other much needed advice on my other questions? Thanks!

HMH is currently running out the fastest of all the FP rides at DL. It seems to only be outpaced by RSR at DCA. Would definitely get it ASAP. If you get Maxpass, you can get a FP for it while you're still in DCA if you have the hopper option. However, I will note that we had a late arrival on Sunday 9/17 at around 12:30 PM, and we were able to get a FP for 3:10 using Maxpass. I think it was an hour or two earlier than the posted FP return time due to them putting cancellations in the Maxpass queue.

If you aren't getting Maxpass, I think I would grab Soarin FPs, then head to RSR, then go back to Soarin on your way out of DCA.

No idea re: Jedi training unfortunately.
