Best Friday on record, and all time high for any day. Well done, Resistance!

It will be interesting to see how they do tomorrow.

I knew getting a Mandolorian involved would do the trick. Never doubt a Mando!

If push comes to shove then we can bring in baby Yoda to seal the deal.

No. Do not bring the child. The child is not tall enough to ride and might get angry and bring the whole thing down!

So who is going to be the one to tell the baby "No"? You? Good luck!

Need to time our BG for tomorrow since in conference to 12noon. have to resist hitting that red button too quickly if it shows up immediately. 1-apple; 2-apple 3-apples? Probably the harder is rallying the ladies up. Just finished WOC viewing from the terrace in GCH and walked back to room. Nice little perk to enjoy for the $$$ of this place!

Hello, everyone! How is the parking experience now? If I wanted to arrive to a parking lot by 7am for a ROTR chance, do you recommend Mickey and friends or the toy story lot?
Thanks for your advice!

What time you arrive for parking depends on what time DL opens that day. As stated in the FAQs on page one of this superthread, in the second post, all DLR parking opens 90 minutes before official park opening. For a 9 am opening, arriving at 7 am would give you plenty of time to park and get to the gates. If the park opens at 8 am, arriving to park at 7 am might be cutting things too close.

... Moral of the story? It is possible for someone with minimal knowledge on BGs but a few key pieces of advice to be successful. Saying this for everyone who is stressed out about getting a BG. Of course YMMV.

Exactly. You don't need to know EVERYTHING, just a few key things and stick to them. If the software, hardware, and the Force all cooperate, you should be fine. And don't forget to breathe!

That was stressful!... My 9 year old got us 36!!

Congratulations!

What if your by yourself?

As a Solo, I've been debating that with myself. I think the best answer would be to talk to the people adjacent to where you are in line and see if they'll hold your spot, then tell the CMs that your spot in line is being held...

This is how solo guests handle this issue at D23 Expo -- and it works just fine. Just make sure to make a mental note of what your neighbors in line look like (take a photo of your area in line if that helps) so that you remember how to get back to where you were. At Expo, it isn't unusual to see people wandering around with line amnesia because they don't know where their spot was!

Does anyone know if the Toy Story lot is still opening earlier than 6:30am?

As stated on the first page in the second post (FAQs), all DLR parking is opening 90 minutes before official park opening. People are reporting that they can line up at the parking booths, but are not allowed to enter to pay and park until that 90 minute mark.

For everyone discussing hotels and DVC: I am moving those posts to the Choosing the Right DLR Area Hotel for You thread. Please continue that discussion over there and not here. Thank you!

Delurking to ask, where in GCH can you do this? Is it for concierge level only? We'll be staying there for first time in 29 days!

We'll also be trying for boarding groups our 4 days in the parks. Fingers crossed we get one the first day, because not riding seems to NOT be an option for our 8 year old.

Arrived at TS parking lot at 6:55, parked fairly close to bus boarding tents. Security is not running at the lot.

 

[IsleofDisney]

Harbor Blvd security is long!!!

Harbor Blvd security is long!!!

hope you get through security and the gates before 8am. I avoid parking at toy story since security can be hit and miss.

 

[IsleofDisney]

Almost all entrances say Magic Morning

Busses dropped off to their own security lines & we kept moving to the right, then lucked out when they opened another line which we went into

Something tells me today the 8 day streak of backups lasting more than 2 minutes ends...
