Will the Captain Hook meet-n-greet follow the same times as advertised for Peter Pan? We are going to try and do three parks, which order do you recommend?? (HS – villains, MK – hook, Epcot – genie)

For the DHS Villians, do you recommend rope dropping Sunrise Showcase and lining up at 9? Do you expect that group to be most popular?

And then each line after that will have grown to around 2 hours probably?

Expect them to be ridiculously popular and yes, go there at 9am.
