I too ask, but more about at RD how are RNRC and TOT? Trying decide a plan of attack for us in August.
We have FPs for all rides (CL xFP) but would like to take advantage of the early entry at EMH.
Also, thinking riding SD at night is now a must, darnit, my FPs are during the day. Guess we hit it right before close.
What is the latest we can jump in line do you think?

I believe that the PPs article from Josh mentioned that RNRC and TOT were pretty much walk on in the first hour or so of operation for the EMH. Also that you can get in line right up until (or possibly a couple minutes after) official park closing time. He has done a few articles on TSL over the past couple days, so I am not sure which one mentions which. However, they are worth the read to see what you can expect!

Thank you! Been in the mountains in Montana for a week, guess I have some catching up to do! Going to Josh's site now!

Here's a great blog by Josh about touring at night. I found it informative. I'm hoping they extend the hours for my trip!

That’s a really great article!

Josh's article is very helpful. Always appreciate the wait breakdowns. Since I wasn't able to snag my hoped for nighttime FP for SDD, how long should I budget if I *really* want to do standby before I bop of out DHS?

I have a Homecomin' reservation at 9:10 that I *might* drop just to hang out at DHS if hours are extended. But if I don't, I was thinking of getting in line for Slinky at 6:30 or 7. I'm hoping that would account for the wait and be able to leave DHS by 8:15.

Did your 3year old ride SD? If so how did they like it?

She’s tall enough (she’s almost 4), but didn’t want to ride. She’s done things like 7DMT and Barnstormer before and likes them, but for whatever reason she laid eyes on SDD and said no.

But she sure did sit there near the bridge watching it for a very long time thinking about it!

Thanks. Mine has never been on a roller coaster before. We are going to start with barnstormer but we already said probably not SDMT, but thought probably this one but then I heard people saying that it’s a little more intense than SDMT so now I’m second guessing myself. I guess just play it by ear.

For those who've ridden Alien Swirling Saucers, do you think its suitable for an almost 2 year old? My daughter is almost 33 inches tall (minimum height for ride is 32 inches), so she can technically go on the ride. If she does end up going on the ride, she'll be sandwiched between my husband and I. For reference, I have no idea how well she does on amusement park rides in general since this October will be our first time taking her.

My youngest just turned 2 and he LOVED it! Thought it was hilarious, laughed his head off every time we were flung around, I think we rode it about 5 times in a row (during a preview) and he would have just kept riding! He is pretty big for his age (about 37 inches, so a bit taller than your little one) and I held him up against me tightly with my arm behind his head so he wouldn't bang it.

Most children coming off the ride loved it. But the child on front of my dh cried at the first launch and all through the ride. Exiting the ride she told her parents no rollercoasters.

Has anyone who picks their FP at 30 days been having any luck getting slinky dog? We go down in Oct and wondering if it is even worth going into that park at all. We will have 2 small kids so waiting even for 20 min gets a little hard.

Keep checking the app! We found fastpasses at midnight for 9:30 that morning! (We were still up from EMH lol)

Are the queues in TSL air conditioned? Are there any air conditioned spaces in TSL. My mom will do Midway Mania but not the other two. Is there an air conditioned space where she can wait in ECV. We have a fastpass to SDD and hot to rope drop TSM. Thank you in advance for your help.

Other than the queue for tsm and the restrooms nothing else is air conditioned

I haven't been able. AS2 at 30 days, I've been successful.

In addition to what @yulilin3 said, there are fans placed throughout. AS2 had a good amount of fans in the queue. There are some umbrellas set up along the path leading to SDD.

The benches are in direct sunlight.

We went in the evening and the heat bothered me. I carried around a frozen bottle of water.

The hype is real! Woke up at 6 am on Saturday and couldn't get slinky. even at 60+5...looks like we need to be there early.

I'm a local as well. At 30 days I haven't been able to grab a SDD but I have successfully got fp for AS2 on the same day. Both times I've gone to TSLand I've done in the evening and the lines die down a lot.

my FP+ date is tomorrow and I'm hoping it will pan out to get SDD...but I want to try both so I'll probably "settle" for AS2 and then keep checking. We have a really open schedule for park time w/ 2 adults zero kids this trip so we'll be trying to do all the things haha
Of course if we luck out and the AP email ever becomes a thing...

Same boat!!! Me and the DH are really focused this trip (since we were just there in Dec/April) on Epcot for F&W - MNSSHP being the only MK time - and then TSL however it can fit in, and last 5 days of trip are at BCV so we can get up boat/walk to HS and then leave after we do whatever it is we want to.

What about the gift shop? Is that inside?

there are no gift shops inside TSLand, only carts selling merchandise

If you are actually on Disney property, as in on your onsite resort property, you’ll see the bus scheduling where your resort info is located.

Hmm, now when at the resort, looking for bus times on rhe app it only says “departing every 20 minutes”
Is there somewhere that actually gives the timing of first bus as well as when the next one should be there?
