Yeah. He called me from the park. I'll be disappointed if he doesn't make it on because I know he'll love it and he probably won't be able to make it back to Florida for a while.

He can always go to a GET and explained his situation, who knows? Maybe he gets sprinkled with some pixie dust

Ride is up!

 

[DisMaven]

We're here! We're here! Up at 5am, waiting for bus at Pop at 542 am, bus arrived 550am and def left full. On the bus now

 

[Price416]

I arrived by bus from ASMo at about 6:25 yesterday (1/26), made it though the slowest bag security line ever (the guy was looking in every tiny pocket on every bag) by 6:37, through the tapstiles by 6:40, and standing in the crowd outside the Frozen sing-along place by 6:44. I got BG 77 because I had to do a hard refresh on MDE after it wouldn’t switch over after 7am. I would maybe take a minute before picking a security line to see which ones are moving and which ones are crawling if you decide to take a bag.

Thanks for the nice time breakdown. I guess I should say it's not really the "lines" per se as obviously we will have those throughout Disney. But not having them to get up at the crack of dawn to start the lines ;-) I don't want to wear them out! We just want to be in for ROTR BG time (7am). Not so much worried about being first in line for everything else, so not trying to make turnstile open. I was bummed when they moved the open time from 9am up to 7am for our day. 9 would have been better for our peeps who like to sleep in. Oh well. We work with what we got!

My phone says 123 now!

 

[MinnieMSue]

And now 124!

 

[yulilin3]

Yay 124

 

[blobberhead]

Wow they really fly through these boarding groups when the ride is up

Do Disney hotel guests get any sort of preference?

 

[WDWGeek1971]

Has anyone tried booking a Minnie Van a day or two before?

-Arrived at HS at 5:51 and was at the ticket windows.
-Tapped in at 6:26 no fingerprint.
-Waited on Sunset Blvd at the front of the pack on the left.
-Opened the app at 6:57 and started refreshing and toggling in and out of check my status.
-Took about 20-30 seconds after 7:00 for the button to turn red. I got group 34 as a single rider (I was using an iPhone 11 on wifi)
-We walked back as a group and was 7th in line for RockNRollercoaster (First train of the day).
-On my way to Toy Story land I mobile ordered breakfast from woodys and waited about 3 minutes for my food (the queue was completely filled with people who I would have been behind without mobile ordering). Saved at least 20 minutes.
-Rode Star tours and slinky fastpass.
-Group 34 was called at 9:25. I was given a 2 Hour return window. I went immediately to the ride.
-Ride went down part way through and I was evacuated and given an electronic fast pass.
-Fast pass didn’t show up so I went to guest experience and they added it back in.
-Left and went to epcot for lunch and a few rides because the lines for everything were crazy at HS.
-Returned to HS at 2 and walked on ROTR through fastpass.

My 63 year old father just called me after getting off the ride. As anticipated, he loved it. I was worried when he didn't get to the park until after 7 am and ended up with boarding group 124, and I was even more worried when the ride went down for a while this afternoon. Thankfully it worked out so that he could ride it today before leaving WDW tomorrow. It sounds like all of the ride elements were working as well.

 

[sayhello]

Up to 131 - 145 when I checked at 7:11.

Sayhello

 

[MoeJ]

131-145 now at 7:26pm

 

[Sajchinook2015]

145 must be the last BG they are calling tonight

Curious if you were able to get any day-of FPs at HS as a single?

Disney hotel guests have one advantage- they don’t have to get up as early. I have a 60-70mn drive before I reach the parking lot...with these 7am openings that means leaving the house at 5:30am at the latest.

So the article about changes to the virtual queue today should be completely ignored?

 

[mamaofsix]

I just read the article that the Dis wrote about this change today, and it has so much wrong info in it... It's close, but just not quite right. Then the comments aren't all correct either. Makes me want to pull my hair out as I read it.

What did the article get wrong?
