So wrapping up our week at Disney and it couldn't have ended any better. Was able to ride toy story 10 times yesterday with the early open and the optimizing of fastpasses. Arm was gonna fall off by the end of the night. Was able to go on all the other rides, do character meets, and view all the shows. The most efficient time at a park I've ever been to. And to top it off we also encountered Taylor swift! Will for sure be going back real soon!!!

"Wow" is all I have to say.
 
The worst part is the bonus round at the end. Doing that 10 times really messes up your arm. So glad I chose a good day to go on. They were calling for rain but it was just overcast all day. I also loved the animation studio session, even though we didn't get to draw what we wanted.
 

I don't use my arm to pull the rope.

i use just my fingers, cupped and flipping toward me, like I was montioning to someone to "come over here."

Sweet tip! My arm is always dead by the end of one ride!

Any chance you could some rough times on how you did that? With afternoon waits over an hour and fastpasses gone at 2 pm, I don't see how you accomplished it, but I'd love to learn.

Well we went on a recommended Friday. Park opened around 8:40, go straight to toy story, fastpass and go through standby queue. Return time was 9:40. When done go through standby again. Wait time said 20 min but it really was just a walk on. Once done wait time said 30 min. Was gonna try standby again and see if it was really 30 min or if line moved along but went to tower of terror and rockin roller coaster. It was 9am and already rode toy story twice. After tower and coaster it was about 9:45ish. Grabbed another toy FP and rode. Return time was 11:40 or 12:05. I can't remember. Stopped by woody and biz for pictures, then Indiana Jones I believe. From there just timed everything to make sure to return at the opening of the fast pass time to get another fast pass. What really help was the wait times for the other rides which was no more than 10-15 min. Maybe one 20 min wait. Just had to co-ordinate with showtimes. Although only got to ride ToT and RR once, but vs 10 times on TSMM that's a fair trade I think. Also there was just 2 of us so that helped. And being a grown male, I'm hesitant to say it but I really enjoyed the beauty and the beast show lol. Maybe cuz we got to sit real close... although I wish we had a slightly better belle singing lol. She was just average
 
Also on this day I think the fast passes didnt run out until 6 I want yo say.. or maybe 5. Not sure if the chance of thunderstorms scared ppl away but the crowds were not heavy at all.
Its always fun when the casts members keep asking "so what number is this" as they laugh
 
Wow! My record is 3 times in one day. Even though I try to use only my fingers and don't pull the cord all the way out, my arm still gets sore.

I have done EE more than 11 times in a ROW one day using the single rider line that nobody was in. I actually got sick of riding, which I didn't think was possible. Eventually, the reward became less sweet with no challenge to get it.

We got pulled into a car in the wheelchair pod one time....there are 2 cars in each "pod" like normal....but that pod has push buttons on top of the "gun" in addition to the pull string. My best score ever. I wish they all had the button. I'm assuming they are for those who don't have the physical ability to pull the string.
 
Is there a direct route to get to TS Mainia from the main entrance to HS? I mean, looks like on the map you just go just ot the right of the big mickey hat directly into the Pixar area.? or is that closed off... Or do you have ot go way arond somehow?
