When you hear someone say that Hollywood Studios is a “half day Park,” this collection of shows and attractions is most likely what they’re talking about. It visits all of the Studios’ major attractions and at least two of its major stage shows. It’s ideal if you’re short on time , prefer to spend your time elsewhere, or are concerned that you won’t be able to tour for an extended period of time and don’t want to spend the time traveling for an afternoon break. The other positive aspect of the half-day easyPlan is that it includes the 3pm Parade, something that isn’t usually possible if you’re planning a break. Additional FASTPASSes The Plan only calls for you specifically to collect FASTPASSes for Toy Story Mania and Star Tours. If you’d like to ride Rock ‘N’ Roller Coaster, Tower of Terror, or Star Tours a second time, you’re welcome to collect additional FASTPASSes for those attractions in place of a stage show or other attraction. Note the average length of time it takes to complete the attraction with FASTPASS on the list of attractions below and consider walking times as well. Replace another attraction with a return to a FASTPASS ride or tack on extra time in the afternoon to return to a favorite. If you would prefer to stay together, instead of using the FASTPASS runner, simply have everyone in the group head to the FASTPASS machines to collect their own FASTPASSes. The FASTPASS runner is intended to save time and allow those who are slower or have less stamina to rest. Deviation from the Plan and Adding Addition Attractions in the Afternoon The Plan officially “ends” at about 3:30pm, but there’s no law that states you have to leave right after. Feel free to visit any green attraction you’d like to experience or return to any major attraction with FASTPASSes collected earlier in the day. As usual, the key to success is the early morning, where you want to arrive prior to Park opening and be among the first people to FASTPASS and ride Toy Story Mania, before moving to Sunset Boulevard for Rock ‘N’ Roller Coaster and Tower of Terror. After that, you have little to worry about other than making it to the many scheduled shows. Timing the shows means staying to a relatively rigid schedule or maintaining a lot of flexibility as you tour in the late morning and afternoon. You may need to rearrange your plans a bit if you’re running behind by switching around stage shows and attractions based on when the stage show begins. This won’t alter the effectiveness of the Plan so long as you make it through the major attractions in the morning. The Attractions in Order: Arrival: Arrive at Hollywood Studios at least 30-40 minutes prior to opening. Have one person from your party collect all theme park tickets and move to the front of the pack on Hollywood Boulevard, prepared to head straight to Toy Story Mania. 1. Collect FASTPASSes for Toy Story Mania. Ideally, have your fastest member collect the group’s theme park tickets and head straight to the FASTPASS line (this person is known as the FASTPASS runner), which is located before the attraction entrance on the right side. There will be a single line for all FASTPASS machines and cast members will be set up at each FASTPASS machine to put your tickets through (they’ll put one ticket or 100 tickets through, they don’t care). The rest of the group can meet across from the Toy Story Mania entrance. 2. Once the FASTPASS runner meets the rest of the group, continue immediately to the standby entrance to ride Toy Story Mania. 3. Exit Toy Story Mania and head back the way you came toward Mickey’s Sorcerer’s Hat. Continue walking back toward the main entrance, only take a left onto Sunset Boulevard after passing Hollywood Brown Derby Restaurant and the entrance to Starring Rolls Café. Head to the end of Sunset Boulevard, passing Tower of Terror, to ride Rock ‘N’ Roller Coaster in the standby line. The wait time will likely be inflated this early in the morning – don’t worry. 4. Head back the way you came to ride the Tower of Terror in the standby line. We bypass it initially because waits build faster at Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster. 5. Exit Sunset Boulevard and head toward Mickey’s Sorcerer’s Hat. Have the FASTPASS runner collect everyone’s tickets to get FASTPASSes for Star Tours. Star Tours is located in Echo Lake. Head down the path outside American Idol Experience, directly to the left of Mickey’s Sorcerer’s Hat. Continue past Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular and Backlot Express Quick Service to Star Tours. The FASTPASS machines are located to the right of the standby entrance. The rest of the group can stay at Mickey’s Sorcerer’s Hat. There should be several characters in the area to meet and there’s a pin store underneath the Sorcerer’s Hat to peruse. You may also want to sit down on the various benches. 6. Ride the Great Movie Ride once the FASTPASS Runner returns. The entrance is located directly behind Mickey’s Sorcerer’s Hat. 7. See Voyage of the Little Mermaid. The entrance is located in the Animation Courtyard directly on the left as you enter the Courtyard. If you don’t see the Courtyard, head back out to the front of Mickey’s Sorcerer’s Hat and look diagonally to the right for the large archway. 8. See the 11:30am Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular or the 11:30am Beauty and the Beast Stage Show - whichever you prefer. If you’d like, you may be able to catch the 12:45pm show in place of Lights, Motors, Action Extreme Stunt Show in Step 10 or stay long enough to catch the 4:00pm (Beauty and the Beast) or 4:15pm (Indiana Jones) show. Indiana Jones is located across the way from American Idol Experience and Beauty and the Beast is located on Sunset Boulevard, on the right just before the walkway up to the entrance to Tower of Terror. 9. Have lunch. You’re welcome
