Wait times for Villains and Little Mermaid at DHS

[MsNewsradio]

How far in advance do you need to show up to the new Villains or Little Mermaid shows at DHS in order to get in for a particular show time? Our touring plan has us arriving 7 minutes before the Villains show starts, but I would think that would be cutting it awfully close to being able to get in/seated and not be cut off and have to wait for the next showing.

Each of these shows run approx. every 40 mins. You could arrive when your TP suggests but it may be full when you arrive or, you will be sitting towards the back. (We sat towards the back for both of these shows and were totally okay with the view.) Personally I would attempt to arrive at least 10 mins before those shows but more time is better if you can.

OP, you should also take into consideration that even though your touring plan says you will arrive seven minutes before the show, there could be hiccups in your schedule that cause you to arrive before or later than that seven minute mark. Attractions can go down without notice, wait times can be longer or shorter than expected, mealtimes can take longer than planned . . . it’s pretty difficult to stick to a schedule by the minute when so many things will be out of your control. I would build a little bit of buffer time into the schedule if it were me. Even having a fifteen minute buffer at some point during the day can make a difference if something throws the schedule off.

Actually 30 minutes may be a much better amount of leeway… so you can ensure your party is together for the shows…

Thanks all! Good to know. Yes, I always pad time into the touring plans for adjustments since there's always something that pops up. Will definitely pad time in to the show waits.
