Think I can do all this in 1 afternoon?

Hi there.

First USF trip for my family. Staying at HRH on August 19 - 21. We have 3 day ticket and plan to use it starting on arrival day. Flight gets in at 10:30am so hope to get luggage, car, lunch and check in at hotel and get Express Passes and be to US by 1:30 - 2. Hoping to do the following:
Terminator
ET
Simpsons
MIB
Disaster
Mummy
Twister
Rip Ride Rocket
Despicable Me
Transformers - If line is too long- wait til morning
Shrek

We will also have to grab dinner quick at some point in there. Since these all have Express pass I was thinking it would be possible. But let me know if I'm not being realistic please.

Leads me to another question...I have read here that Express Line waits for Transformers can be LONG...Are the wait times posted outside the standby AND express pass entrances so I can determine whether or not to ride it or wait until the following morning (after WWOHP which we will do first)? I'm so used to knowing at WDW how long the queues are and I would immediately know if a FP line was too long for my liking...but at US I will be clueless and might get into a line with a 45 minute wait accidentally.

Last question for now...and the silliest one of them all. I plan to have my family wear lanyards with our Express Pass in it...Do lanyards ever get in the way or fly off or in your face on the roller coasters?? Do you hold onto yours?

Thanks! REALLY looking forward to the Dark Side!

if you are in the park at 1:30, using the express lines, it looks doable.
exception could be the TF ride.


tuck the lanyards inside your clothing.
won't fly away then on mummy and other faster moving rides.

Terminator2 can be tricky to plan, at least the last time we were there 2 years ago. It only ran at certain times. Not sure if that's still true? It will say in the guide map at the entrance

Both Transformers and Despicable me tend to have longer waits on express pass.
