Planning a day at Hollywood Studios with FastPass+ isn t too complicated (except for trying to schedule around the shows !) but there are some restrictions put into place by Disney that you ll need to understand.
Tier 2 choose 2 of these Tower of Terror* Star Tours* Voyage of the Little Mermaid* MuppetVision 3D Disney cheap car rental in london Junior – Live on Stage Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular! Lights, Motors, Action! Extreme Stunt Show
On-site guests can make FastPass+ reservations (3 per day in 1 park) using the My Disney Experience app or website up to 60 days in advance. On-site guests can also make use of the kiosks in the park.
Off-site guests can make FastPass+ reservations cheap car rental in london (3 per day in 1 park) using the My Disney Experience app or website up to 30 days in advance. Off-site guests can also make use of the kiosks in the park. FastPass+ priorities
You will have to make 3 FP+ reservations (reservations are in 1 hour blocks of time, except for shows which are a shorter period cheap car rental in london of time), even if you only want 1 or 2 (if you choose cheap car rental in london 2 attractions, the system will automatically pick another for you so you ll end up with 3). However, if you arrive to Hollywood Studios less than 3 hours before the closing time, you will likely be restricted to making just 1 or 2 FastPass+ reservations.
Third priority for Hollywood Studios (and not recommend for FP+ at all) Tier 1: Fantasmic! in the early stages of FP+ testing, this gave people prime seats to watch the show. Now it gives people the ability cheap car rental in london to skip the standby line but the prime seats are given to people who book the Fantasmic Dining Package. Since this is in the same tier as 2 very popular rides, it s not recommended. Beauty and the Beast – Live on Stage The Great Movie Ride Tier 2: MuppetVision 3D Disney Junior – Live on Stage Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular! Lights, Motors, Action! Extreme Stunt Show
However, you can get more FastPass+ reservations after you use the first 3. Once your first 3 FastPass+ reservations are used, you can then go to a kiosk and get a 4th. Once your 4th FP+ is used, you can go to a kiosk and get a 5th. These additional FastPass+ cheap car rental in london reservations can be in the same park or a different park and can be for the same ride over and over, if you want. There are plans to add this functionality to the My Disney Experience app but for now, you must go to a kiosk.
Don t use FastPass+ reservations unnecessarily. If you arrive at an attraction to use a FastPass+ reservation and the standby line is short (5 or 10 minutes), skip the FastPass+ line, get into the standby line and then change that FastPass+ to something cheap car rental in london else to use later. You can make the change cheap car rental in london on your phone (if you re staying on-site) or at a FastPass+ kiosk.
My custom map has been updated for Hollywood Studios. People who buy the eBook get custom cheap car rental in london park maps as bonus material and the Hollywood Studios map (which prints out on 1 piece of paper) has been updated to reflect the attractions that offer FastPass+ (and are noted as being Tier 1 or Tier 2) as well as the FastPass+ kiosk locations.
All guests should cheap car rental in london make FastPass+ reservations online ahead of time. In order to do that, you need to have tickets on your My Disney Experience account. If you are staying on-site and bought a package for your trip (which includes a hotel and tickets), they ll already be in your account.
If you are staying off-site and/or bought tickets separate cheap car rental in london from your on-site hotel room, you need to link them by going to MyDisneyExperience.com , logging in and then clicking Link Existing Reservations and Tickets.
This video was made when Festival of the Lion King was still open. It was also made when Hollywood Studios and Epcot allowed cheap car rental in london guests to choose cheap car rental in london any rides for FastPass+ but now guests are limited to just 1 of the top tier rides.
After making FastPass+ reservations, you will be able to scan your MagicBands or RFID-enabled park ticket when you arrive to an attraction at your FastPass+ time. There are often 2 sets of scanners at attractions the first scanner can be scanned by just 1 member of your group; the second scanner must be scanned by each member.
What times should you make reservations? Because of the tiers that are in place, you should plan to show up at rope drop (arrive 30-45 minutes before park opening) and ride the things that you won t have FP+ reservations for. In the touring plans below, I ve given suggestions on when to make FP+ reservations.
General Hollywood Studios touring plan (w/FP+ reservations for Toy Story Mania, Tower of Terror and Star Tours) Arrive 30 minutes before park opening Rock n Roller Coaster Tower of Terror if you have a FP+ and there s a line, use it here. If the line is short, cheap car rental in london get in the standby line and change this reservation to re-ride later in the day or switch to a different attraction. (suggested FP+ time: 9:15-10:15) Voyage of the Little Mermaid The Great Movie Ride Use FP+ for Toy Story Mania (suggested FP+ time: 10:30-11:30) Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular cheap car rental in london Lunch Use FP+ for Star Tours (suggested FP+ time: early afternoon) Lights, Motors, Action Rest of the day: Studio Backlot Tour MuppetVision 3D Beauty and the Beast Live on Stage Fantasmic (at night)
Hollywood Studios with little ones (w/FP+ for Toy Story Mania, Star Tours and Voyage of Little Mermaid) Arrive 30-45 minutes before scheduled park opening Ride Toy Story Mania without FP+ Disney Junior Live on Stage Use FP+ for Voyage of the Little Mermaid if lines are short, change to something else (suggested FP+ time: 9:15-10:15) Studio cheap car rental in london Backlot Tour Use FP+ to ride Toy Story Mania again (suggested FP+ time: 10:30-11:30) MuppetVision Use FP+ for Star Tours (suggested FP+ time: 11:45-12:45) Lunch Rest of the day: Magic of Disney Animation Beauty and the Beast Live on Stage Lights, Motors, Action Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular
What about Rider Switch (sometimes called Child Swap)? That still works the same that it always has. Please cheap car rental in london read my Rider Switch article so you can see how to ride big rides even if you have little ones who can t or won t.
Want to park hop? If you want to visit more than 1 park in a day, I would suggest Hollywood Studios as a good park to do during the first part of the day because you can usually do everything without any FastPass+ reservations (unless crowds cheap car rental in london are heavy) if you show up early and hit the busiest attractions within the first 2 hours.
Even with FastPass+ and the ride tiers, I still think the hardest part of planning a day at Hollywood Studios is figuring out how to fit in all of the shows. My very first podcast episode was about how to fit all of the Hollywood Studios shows in a day. You can listen to that and read my show notes by clicking on the image below.
cheap car rental in london If I miss a FP time- then does it count as me using that FP+ at that time? For example- I only want a FP for Toy Story Mania and Rockn Roller Coaster. So I get the TSM FP+ on reservations- wait for the Tier 2 FPs to expire and then go to a kiosk to try and get a RnR FP?
How are the lines for the Great Movie Ride in the evening? Like after dinner time? I am planning our schedule for the parks (we will be in HS on Tues, August 19th) right now. There are two reasons I didn t want to use a FP+ for it 1) we don t want too many scheduled activities, since we are going to try to land a spot in the Jedi Training cheap car rental in london Academy for our kids, and 2) we d like to use the FP+ on higher priority rides and shows.
Some of our longest waits were on Great Movie Ride before it had a FastPass+ option. I think it s a very optional cheap car rental in london ride (don t tell my kids that though they both like it) and if you don t want to use a FP+ for it, maybe just see how the line looks and visit it if the standby wait isn t too bad.
I was wondering if you can still give your fastpass+ to someone in your group. For instance, when we used paper fastpasses my husband and i would both get a pass for star tours then i would give my husband mine so he could ride twice while i shopped. Can he still use both of our magic bands to do the same thing?
We have 4 boys ages 4,7,8 and 10, who are all crazy for Starwars! Our biggest priority is to get them into the Jedi Training. Should we go sign up for this first and then go ride Toy Story Mania, or go get fastpasses. We are staying off-site. Other tips for Starwars fans?
We are staying on-site at Disney the first week in February. I chose the Indiana cheap car rental in london Jones and the Lights Motor Action shows as two of our fastpass+ so that we can get into them at the times we want. Now after reading your post I am second guessing this. During this time of year would you expect that we would need to arrive very early (if I get rid of the fastpasses) to ensure seating at the mid-day shows? THis is our first Disney trip so we are very green!
Any word on what is going to happen with AP holders? I was down in Dec and was very disappointed that we (AP holders) could not get on fastpass+ , there were plenty of rides we wanted to do like toy story but by 9:30 (the park opened at 9) the fast passes were already at 7:30pm! (Obviously we stayed off site) Thanks!
My suggestion, don t use Fast Pass+ for any of the shows unless you have no other option. They just make you walk less but there is no guaranteed seating and you get funneled in with everyone else. Good article I LOVE your stuff btw. I studied your website and we had a wonderful time! We used Fast Pass+ thanksgiving cheap car rental in london week and your resources here and never waited longer than 20 min for anything! It was an awesome trip and I can t wait to get back!
I was able to get FP for Tower, mermaid, and rockin cheap car rental in london . I am thinking we need to do ToyStory first, right? 6 and 10 yr old, Thanks! Your breakdowns have really helped in this final couple of week
