Studios Strategy?

[leebee]

We are Disney vets but have never purchased LLMP or SP. Already giving too much money to the Mouse to pay for something that used to be free, hahaha. HOWEVER... DD32 only has 2 days at Disney so we are doing Epcot (no worries there) and the Studios. We are onsite so can take advantage of EE. TouringPlans shows an overall park crowd level of 6, but a 7 for the Studios (I can't tell how accurate these are anymore). Here are the attractions that we really want to do: SlinkyDog, MMRR, ToT and RnRC (DD only), TSM. We'd also like to fit in B&B, the new Mermaid show, and the Villains show, as well as Fantasmic. Luckily for us, none of the StarWars things are of strong interest (DD's done RoR and hated it- triggered her anxiety thru the roof). We have a 7pm ADR at Brown Derby (which can be canceled, it's not a must-do). Do we need to purchase LLMP, or do you think we should be able to get this all squeezed in? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

That's a tough one. I feel like since you are skipping Galaxy's Edge, maybe you don't need LLMP.

I have a two thoughts...

1. Go right to Slinky at rope drop (along with the crowd). It will probably be the shortest wait of the day at that time. After that, do TOT, RNRC (single rider) and MMRR.

2. Go right to RNRC and TOT at rope drop (should be a short wait). Do single rider if available at RNRC. Then go to Slinky (first wave of guests will have gone through) and MMRR.

In both cases, save the shows for after you have done the above. Saving a popular attraction for closing time isn't an option since you are doing Fantasmic.

The only tough one is Slinky. You'll have a wait for that no matter which strategy you use.

Have a great time!
