HS typical day plan

[spankswife]

We've only been to HS once in the last 15 years...

What is your typical day plan? Where do you start? Tips/tricks?

We have a very adventurous 6yo DD (too short for Rockin roller coaster), and an 18 mo old DS. I know we want to FP Toy Story, ToT, and Star Tours.

We have a 5 yo DS. He's super into Star Wars, so HS starts before rope drop so we can get in line to sign him up for that. ( spots fill fast!!)
We FP toy story, star tours, tower of terror.... DH likes muppets 3D and we have an ADR for the 50s prime time diner for lunch.
We'll see how the rest of the day goes... Whether we take a break at the resort or not. I know we'll definitely head back to HS at night though for the new Star Wars fireworks show...

Def FP the three you said :0)

and muppets, the disney jr show is freaking cute. we LOVE 50s prime time...sci fi is cute too. the shows are great--even the street shows are fun. we like the great movie ride (not sure how your kids do with dark stuff--we've taken our kids at 1, 2 and 4 and they've not been scared yet?? but i could see how many kids COULD be scared)

We did:

Rope drop TS
Met Woody and Buzz
Voyage of the Little Mermaid
Met a bunch of Dis Jr Characters
FP Star Tours rider swap
Muppets 3D
Single rider line for dh and I to do Aerosmith
Indiana Jones FP (dd2 was def scared of this at 2.5)
TOT with rider swap so dd1 could ride twice
Beauty and the Beast
Star Tours again
ADR for Mama Melrose with Fantasmic Package
The Great Movie Ride
Fantasmic

I'm sure that there's stuff missing. We didn't get a chance to do Frozen so we came back another day (it's DDs' favorite thing at DW).

There are so many great shows that we found it best to space our ride FP and then fill in with the shows. We still haven't seen the Disney Jr one or made it to the dance party, but we want to next year.

And don't forget the Star Wars fireworks in the evening – one of my favorite shows!

My kid was 4 last time and LOVED Star Tours and was so PROUD that he went on ToT but wasn't begging to do it again.

Right now I don't think HS is a full day park. IF JTA is a MUST for your DD then get there early to sign up. IF it's not I would get the three FPs and make it a late start day adding in a few shows and see if you make it to the fireworks OR Fantasmic. It looks like right now you can't do both on the same day.
