Oogie Boogie Bash Halloween 2023 Super Thread

What is everyone's game plan this time around? Multiple devices, website, app, etc? I think I will log into the website from my computer.

I'm planning on doing 3 queues - Chrome, Edge, and my phone. My boyfriend will also be trying on his phone and computer. Hopefully we get lucky this time

I should add Im in Ontario which is why it will be 12EST here, in case anyone gets confused, it still opens at 9PST lol

Is there any benefit to logging in early, say at 11:30 or so, and waiting for the queue to open?

not really, but they usually open the "waiting room" a little early and anyone in the "waiting room" gets automatically added to the queue in a "random order" when it opens. So for me it's a bit more convenient.

Part of me hates buying into the bananas part of this, but here I am with four devices in various combos of app/website/wifi/cellular....

I'm right here with you all even though I got myself tickets last time. A friend now wants to join me for one. Oof.

tell me why I keep refreshing the page even though it's still 20 min out

I can only be on my phone my husband's hopefully on his phone, computer and tablet at home.
I really and truly hope from the bottom of my heart we all get the tickets we want!

waiting room is open on the ap, trying to find the web page now too

Since they haven't updated the event page yet - and at risk of breaking things - direct link to the waiting room:

I think the app actually takes you to the web.

This maybe bad timing with so many just trying to get tickets, but any word on the Desert Party. All the information has been removed from web site: assuming not this year?

One potential "pro tip" - the second it hits 9am, open the above link in a Private/Incognito window - if it goes to the Waiting Room, close it. Keep doing that until it takes you directly into the queue.

It doesn't always work, but I've sometimes gotten shorter wait times doing that (usually via Ticketmaster or AXS rather than Disney, but they all use Queue-It). I'm suspicious that the Waiting Room to Queue transition happens on the user's end in the browser rather than on the website end, which could cause a delay.

Any chance you can explain how to do,that?
