Toy Story Land and Off Site

[Ambehnke]

I have been busy and haven’t been reading in a while so this may have already been answered but what are we thinking the best strategy will be if staying off site and wanting to ride Toy Story rides? There probably wouldn’t be a benefit to a 7:45 PPO breakfast because on site people will already be there riding in the hour we’d be eating breakfast, right? I’m guessing FP availability will be slim especially for SDD at 30 days out. I’m thinking we may be stuck waiting. Any advice? Looking at August dates but not booked yet (besides dining).

yes more then likly no FP ( I could not get one 61 days out) so it will be get there as early as you can just be parpaird to wait in line, for a long time. ( i a guessing you are asking about opening day/weekend

It's too bad offsite folks get the short end here. They pay just as much for a mickey bar as onsite guests. Then again the perks for onsite folks are slimming up a bit too.

I really don't think there is any way of knowing at this point. Since they are all Tier 1 rides, you may get one, just not necessarily the one you want.

Hard to say at this point. I think at first TSMM will be the easiest to get, but once things settle down I bet AS2 will be the easiest. I'd plan on having to do them all standby and if you do get a FP it will be a bonus.

Yeah it’s a total bummer! We are normally on site but are trying to squeeze in an extra trip on a budget while building our house. Stinks to get the short end of the stick since EVERY day is EMH. But I guess we benefit from that when we are on site so can’t complain when we aren’t. Have done TSMM tons of times so priority will be SDD and AS2 I guess we will just go there first and be prepared to wait. I don’t think a PPO breakfast will be worth keeping because of the EMH.

Edited: That came off much crabbier than I meant it, my bad lol. Soooo deleting.

Basically, I think it's fair that on-site guests get the benefit, personally. The additional cost of staying on site makes it reasonable to me.

Yes I agree. This time we are debating saving about $400 (vs Pop although typically we’d stay somewhere like Riverside or the Contemporary) by staying off site and that would be the downside is NO rope drop available at HS. our loss for deciding to cut costs. Although as a normal onsite guest I also wouldn’t mind having one or two days a week be regular hours with no EMH. I don’t go to the same park every day I am there on a trip anyway.
