Created exclusively for easyWDW.com users Hollywood Studios For Disney Adults – Standard One Day Plan – Plan B – Without Fantasmic I recommend the Standard One Day Plans for the majority of Disney adults (groups that consist of those age ten and over) who plan to visit the bulk of the most popular attractions, including the thrill rides with height requirements of 48 inches. This plan visits all of the best attractions at the Hollywood Studios and most of the other attractions geared toward pre-teens, teens, and adults as well. It also skips those attractions that have little to offer adults, including Playhouse Disney/Disney Jr. Live on Stage, Honey I Shrunk the Kids Movie Set Adventure, and Jedi Training Academy. It’s relatively easy to work these attractions in if you do want to visit them. Luckily, Jedi Training Academy and Playhouse Disney have the most shows scheduled throughout the day. If your itinerary is focused primarily on a child, I would recommend using one of the “with kids” touring plans and work in the thrill rides with FASTPASS throughout the day if you also want to do Tower of Terror and Rock ‘N’ Roller Coaster. Plan A Vs. Plan B – Standard One Day Plan Plan A and Plan B have different approaches. Plan A minimizes wait times and walking as much as possible and keeps you away from the bulk of the morning crowds (other than at Toy Story Mania). This is possible because we use FASTPASS at Rock ‘N’ Roller Coaster and Tower of Terror, rather than going to those attractions immediately after Toy Story Mania in the morning. The downside is that we aren’t scheduled to ride Rock ‘N’ Roller Coaster, Tower of Terror, and the Great Movie Ride until the end of the day. This allows us to see as much as possible in the Hollywood Studios in the shortest amount of time, but it may be difficult to put off the Studios’ most popular attractions until after 5pm, especially if this is your first visit. If you would like to ride Rock ‘N’ Roller Coaster and Tower of Terror earlier in the morning, I would recommend using the Plan B version of the Standard One Day Plan. The major downside to Plan B is that we have to deal with potentially heavy crowds on Sunset Boulevard in the morning and it will take more time to do those attractions, because the line will almost certainly be longer than the five to ten minutes we would be waiting in the FASTPASS line later in the day. Of course, if you arrive at Rock ‘N’ Roller Coaster and the line is longer than you’d like, you can always grab a FASTPASS rather than wait in line. There is also a lot more walking involved in Plan B. Plan A is more compartmentalized. On the plus side, we’ll be riding each of the headlining rides at least twice with Plan B, and possibly more, depending on how many FASTPASSes you collect throughout the day. While the itinerary only explicitly schedules you to pick up FASTPASSes for Rock ‘N’ Roller Coaster and Tower of Terror once, you’re welcome to obtain as many FASTPASSes for these rides as possible throughout the day. I recommend sending one person with the group’s tickets to obtain the FASTPASSes and then they can rejoin the group at a stage show or meal. You can Created exclusively for easyWDW.com users use as many FASTPASSes “back to back” as you want (as long as they’re due), but you will need to exit and reenter the line each time. Still, the wait shouldn’t be longer than five or ten minutes each ride. Also, remember that FASTPASSes don’t have names attached to them. You can get FASTPASSes with people’s tickets even if they aren’t planning to ride. For example, if there are four people in your group and only two of them are planning to ride Rock ‘N’ Roller Coaster, you can still use all four tickets to get four FASTPASSes. The two people that are interested in the ride can then use all four FASTPASSes to ride twice. In order: 1 and 2. Head directly to Toy Story Mania in Pixar Place. If the line is 30 minutes or less, go directly to the standby line and ride and then get a FASTPASS on your way out. If the wait is longer than 30 minutes, you don’t want to wait at all, or you only want to ride once, grab a FASTPASS without riding and continue to step three. 3. Exit Toy Story Mania and head back out toward Mickey’s Sorcerer’s Hat and over to Sunset Boulevard. We’ll pass Tower of Terror and ride Rock ‘N’ Roller Coaster first because the wait increases earlier in the day. 4. Walk back toward Tower of Terror and ride. 5. Continue walking out of Sunset Boulevard and walk back up to the Great Movie Ride at the end of Hollywood Boulevard. The entrance is behind Mickey’s Sorcerer’s Hat. 6. Walk back up toward Pixar Place and pass Toy Story Mania on your way to the Backlot Tour, which is now conveniently located through an archway. Prior to Toy Story Mania’s construction, you would have had to walk all the way around through Streets of America to get to the Backlot Tour. It’s still a trek, but there’s really no way around it. We want to avoid the Backlot Tour from 2pm to 5pm because of all the people who exit the Lights, Motors, Action! Extreme Stunt Show and immediately get in line for the nearby queue to the Backlot Tour. Don’t be too concerned if the line seems long – they move a ton of people through at a time and the line doesn’t move in between pre-shows starting. 7. Walk back down to Sunset Boulevard to obtain FASTPASSes for Rock ‘N’ Roller Coaster. I recommend sending just one person with the group’s tickets to the FASTPASS machines to do this. That person can then meet the group for lunch. 8. Have lunch. I recommend Starring Rolls on Sunset Boulevard because of its proximity to Beauty and the Beast and Rock ‘N’ Roller Coaster as well as the high quality of the food. Sunset Ranch Market is also nearby and offers a wide variety of options. 9. See the 12:45pm Beauty and the Beast Stage Show. Created exclusively for easyWDW.com users 10. Obtain FASTPASSes for Tower of Terror. The FASTPASS machines are just about two minutes away from the entrance to Beauty and the Beast. 11. The Disney Channel Rocks show begins at 1:30pm near Mickey’s Sorcerer’s Hat at the end of Hollywood Boulevard. Because the stage is out in the open and there is no formal queue, you can walk right up and see the show. Disney Channel Rocks won’t necessarily entertain adults much and we actually want to be on our way to see the 2pm Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular in Echo Lake, but you do have time to enjoy a few minutes of the show. If Disney Channel Rocks is more important to your group, I would recommend watching the 10:30am show in place of the Backlot Tour. You can then reschedule the Backlot Tour in place of a stage show or attraction that you don’t necessarily care about seeing later in the day. 12. See the 2pm Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular in Echo Lake. Unless Hollywood Studios is extremely busy (Rock N Roller Coaster wait times of 50+ minutes and Tower of Terror wait times of 30+ minutes), arriving about ten minutes early should get you good seats. If the Studios is busy, skip Disney Channel Rocks completely and head straight here. 13. We have some time to take a break, use the bathroom, and gather snacks before the 3pm Parade. The Parade takes a while to get to the Echo Lake area and probably won’t arrive until about 3:15pm. I wouldn’t risk trying to fit in another attraction before the Parade unless you don’t care about missing the Parade. Consider browsing the store attached to Star Tours if you need something to do or search for nearby characters. 14. Watch the 3pm Parade. I recommend getting a spot along the Parade route in the Echo Lake area, near the entrance to Sounds Dangerous and American Idol Experience. It will be much less crowded than Hollywood Boulevard. Since we’re headed to Muppet Vision 3D next, stand on the Sounds Dangerous side so that you don’t have to cross the street after the Parade goes by. 15. Walk up the Streets of America to see Muppet Vision 3D. Including the preshow, the attraction is about 25 minutes long. If it looks like you won’t exit the show until after 4pm, save it for after step 16. 16. Continue up the Streets of America to see the 4:10pm Lights, Motors, Action! Extreme Stunt Show. Looking at the stadium seating, sit on the left side (the right side if you’re sitting and looking at the stage) to exit the theater before the majority of the other people in the stands.
