    Hollywood Studios… Rope Drop RoR or Slinky?

    The last several times with early entry we have used iLL for Rise and we rope drop slinky, head to smugglers run, back to Toy story mania, then off to Mickeys Run away railroad. We typically have been able to get Slinky, Smugglers, and toy story done before or at park open with a minimal wait at...

    Hollywood Studios Rope Drop

    What has worked for us if staying on site and using the 30 minutes early entry we buy iLL for Rise and rope drop Slinky. Then immediately head for Smugglers then back to Toy Story Mania then breakfast break. We don't do TOT every time but would use our first Genie pick for Mickeys runaway...

    What's the big deal about Gideon's?

    The atmosphere and theming is fantastic, the cookies are ok imo. Nothing stellar, nothing bad.

    Tour Plan Resources

    I cant speak for the website but the Touringplans Teaches videos on You Tube with Becky are excellent. She will walk you through a day at the park, telling you what to shoot for first and why along with wait time data etc.

    DW Food... Surprisingly Disappointed, with Exceptions

    Surprised at Via Napoli, that's a go to every trip. Did you eat at the window outside by chance or sit down?

    Current wait times look pretty long. I was thinking September had lighter crowds. Is there anything special going on that might account for the

    We just got back from a Monday to Monday trip. Last week lines were short across the parks, yesterday (Monday) Hollwood Studios was noticeably busier.

    Best breakfast anywhere on property?

    Maybe we had an off visit but Boma was good but I wouldn't have gone out of my way, again though maybe it was an off day based on the number of people who love it. Grand Floridian café has been very good the few times we have gone but Topolinos has been our favorite. Just a cheery fun atmosphere...

    Hollywood Studio Plan- feedback?

    I would get there just a little earlier if you can. We typically arrive 7:45 or so. You should be able to knock out 2 maybe 3 rides before general park open. If you are able to get Slinky as genie+ and Rise as iLL I might start with Smugglers run then immediately go to Mickeys Runaway and then...

    Guardians of the Galaxy review?

    I don't think you would need to skip anything. Are you are staying on site and able to rope drop? If so I would Rope drop Remy and head immediately to Frozen. If you are able to afford Genie + that will help as well and would try to grab Test Track or Soarin. Mission Space and Turtle Talk should...

    Reservation finder issue

    I don't usually use the link in the alert. I try to go in through MDE and reserve it. I have had decent luck doing that.

    The two times we have rope dropped Slinky dog with early entry we have arrived about 8am ish, we ended up in line about where Toy Story Mania is but they were holding the start of the line around the corner about halfway to where you enter the covered part of the que. At 8:30 they opened the...

    What to rope drop Hollywood Studios…

    Our plan the last few times has been to pay for Rise, grab smugglers with genie +, rope drop Sdd using early entry, then head over to Mickeys when done with Sdd. It stinks to pay for these things but it's worked for us lately. We don't mind rope drop and take a break mid-day so this gets 4...

    Question about renting points

    Hi All, this is our first time renting DVC Points. We placed a request with one of the popular rental agencies for a standard studio at the Poly in early September. In corresponding with them they indicated to be patient while they looked and that we were looking far in advance. At what point...

    The Genie Usage, Tips and Strategy ONLY Thread

    We chose Rise and tried to get Slinky, we rope dropped Slinky if we didn't get it and took Smugglers instead. That way you set yourself up riding Slinky before park open and then can get on one or two other rides before lines get long. The remaining G+ rides it seems like you can get a bit...

    Space 220…any reviews yet?

    We had lunch there last week and loved it. The atmosphere was great and the food was very good! Sci fi was a fun experience also but the food was pretty average. The meal at Space was far better.
