Hollywood Studios early entry

What’s the first thing I should go on in Hollywood Studios during early entry? I already have LLMP for Slinky, Tower of Terror, and Toy Story Mania later in the day, along with Rise of the Resistance.

Are any of those rides you would care to do twice? My family definitely has things we want more than once, and SDD and ROTR would both qualify for us. :slight_smile:

Pay attention when you enter. If any main rides aren’t open during EE, they will be announcing it as you enter. We completely misunderstood, because it sounded like, to us, the CM was saying RotR and MFSR “are open” for early entry. Great! But instead, they were closed when we got there and we wasted our EE time going there first. We ended back at RnRC, only for that queue to grow from 25 minutes posted wait to 90 minutes within about 5 minute period. (Turns out she was saying “aren’t open”, but it didn’t sound like that to us!

So listen closely and be ready to pivot.

That said, if it is open, MFSR might be a good choice to start at. As lines build for rides, transition to shows.

Unless you want to ride something you have an LL for twice, I would say MMRR because it moves fast and is almost never down. Then TSMM because that is one of the hardest to get LL. Aliens should be pretty short after that. MFSR and RNRC have decent LL availability, so hopefully you can pick those up.

I’d do MMRR and then TSM (it’s fun to ride more than once and try to improve your score!). You can then go to GE and ride MFSR. Since it’s far(ish) from the front entrance it takes a bit for the crowds to build back there.

Alternatively, you could ride MMRR and then head to RnRC for potentially multiple rides. We RD’d RnRC once and walked on three times in a row and it was a very low key RD choice.

You’re golden. There’s no wrong move for RD.

Adding to what @ryan1 said, there’s at least one CM standing around in the hub in front of MMRR, helping people with directions. Ask if anything is down.

Welcome to the forum.

We like to ride MFSR twice during early entry, both times asking for pilot roles and switching off.
