With two more Saturdays left in the run, thought I’d share my experience from Saturday, 8/12.
We got into the line at about 8:30 - by then the first show had sold out, and the line was just past the Monster’s ride entrance (which ended up being helpful b/c the ride went down and I was able to snag two MEPs). We were aiming for the 5:30 so I tried not to stress. Per the chatter in the line - the first show sold out by about 8:15. A CM would periodically come through and count and at some point he cut off the line so I think if you are in line, you’ll be able to get a package. I think the 2nd show sold out at around 8:50. You can definitely pick whichever time slot you want.
We got to the front of the line by about 9:10 - the party in front of us snagged the last 4pm seats.
Was it worth waiting in a 45 min line? I think so - it was nice to have a set time to come back vs worrying about lining up in the afternoon - it gave us some flexibility with our day. We were a party of 4 but only took 2 popcorn buckets b/c we really just didn’t need more. The picture opp was fun, and it was nice to have a cold drink. I’m glad we waited in line in the morning when it was cloudy vs in the afternoon sun. (It helped that we got 2 rounds of WS and 1 ride on Guardians out of the way before standing in line…so no one in our party felt like they missed the benefits of EE/RD).
The show itself was FANTASTIC. The songs were catchy, the staging was great, loved the Starkettes and the actor who plays Nick Fury has the best song. It was so fun. I hope they extend the run.
I had never been in the Hyperion and I really liked it - let’s hope they don’t leave it empty for years again!
