Hit The Parks - Disney's Hollywood Studios

It is no secret we like to be the first ones in the parks.  There is something special about being the very first ones at the turnstiles waiting for the start of a magical day.  You can accomplish so much in the first 2 hours of the day that it is worth the effort of getting your crew out of bed and to the gates 45min before the parks open.   When it comes to Hollywood Studios, we don't like to mess around - we aim to be there a hour before park opening.  The reason is simple - Toy Story Midway Mania (TSMM)!  It is far and away my family's favorite ride.  Unfortunately it has one of the most constant long lines of all the parks.  So, we beat the crowds to it.  Hollywood Studios also allows guest to enter the park 15min early (on most days)!
Here we are first in line at our very own set of tap-styles.  We bring the kids electronic devices while we wait.  This is the longest we wait for anything at Walt Disney World.  We would rather spend an hour of time waiting while the park is closed rather than when it is open.  

We won the Toy Story Dash and were the very first family to ride on this day.  This is not any easy feat to accomplish.  Look at the focus that Alden is displaying!


Doug takes great pride in this picture.  It is not his best score but it is the only time he can say he was the "best today" (Just don't tell anyone we were the only ones of the day at this point.)  

After tackling TSMM we were free to hit the other headliners before the lines truly developed.  We were off TSMM by 9:01 on this day!   Then with a FastPass + we head back to TSMM for a re-ride later in the day when all the lines are long!
