Planning October trip with 8 year old daughter. Have a pretty good grasp on our plans, which fastpasses to prioritize 30 days out, have reservations for different things, etc.
The one thing that seems to throw my plans off is SDD. I won't be able to get a FP. I am all for RD and we will be RDing things every day. However, it seems like to get SDD early in the morning, you have to RD the RD. To get in the first batch of guests for SDD, do I just have to plan on being there 1.5 hours before park open?
I like getting to the parks 45 minutes before open. It is a short enough time that the kids (and me) are still engaged, still excited about being early, the thrill of the anticipation doesn't wear off, etc. 1.5 hours early seems to be as bad as standing in line.
When I check the lines app, SDD is busy even at park close, even during evening shows, even at park open, all the frickin time.
Has anyone regretted basing their HS touring plan around SDD? Should we consider just forgetting about it and cross our fingers that a FS could magically appear day of? My touring plans looks magical without SDD. Maybe just eliminate the stress and enjoy it in a couple of years when new stuff opens and it isn't the hot new thing?
