i need May 1st! so close, yet so far..

 

[canyoncam]

Waiting for mid May. I was going to do this on my February trip but dates with all else I wanted to do didn’t mesh. Doing DAH at HS instead, figured too that EMM is more likely to stick around for May verses DAH.

Feels all that much closer to July 1.

It doesn't always follow a time pattern. It might be 7am or it might just flip on at some random point... hard to tell.

Great recent reviews by @djc9699, @KCF1216, @Ek0804, @PatrickN24, thank you guys so much for stopping by to share your experiences. I can't stress enough how helpful it is to see real-world time-stamped detail so we can collectively keep track of event logistics and timing strategies. So helpful.

Post #3 has been updated with links.

Thanks again!

I called Uber Dec 5 when I went and it went fine.

 

[djc9699]

Thanks for sharing . How far in advance did you book mears?

I booked at about 11:00 the night before. It actually arrived about 5 mins to 6 but waited for us. It was worth it to us so we did not have to worry about when (and if) a bus would come and it dropped us very close to the entrance. Much closer than the buses. We are doing a repeat tomorrow.

I see that the April dates are Monday and Wednesday. Any chance they will add on Fridays around Easter?

 

[TammyLynn33]

Ok so maybe this might be for another thread ?? But what do ppl rope drop and Fastpass?
And no we won’t be going into TSL after to avoid crowds ..

To me it depends on a lot of variables. Ages in your group.... your plan for the day... if you have hopper tickets or not.

For us, we would go to Tot and RnR at Rope Drop... then go eat.... then hit any shows or other lower priority things at DHS, then call it a day - we’re more 1/2 day folks at DHS. We have APs so can hop, so would keep our FPs for later in another park.

But that’s not a one size fits all answer so might not fit your plans/style.

I’m curious about this as well. We haven’t seen the Friday dates added past December yet. I’m wondering how bold Disney feels about this event and if they think they can continually support (fill) three days a week even during winter/spring. Late March through Easter would seem like a good time for them to add Fridays, in my opinion.

We are here this morning. Arrived at 7am for bag check, grabbed juice and pastries to eat in line. Slinky didn’t start running until 8am so now the line is super long. We have been waiting for over 20 minutes now. We were let in at 7:20 and rode Alien Saucers, were third family in line for Woody and Jessie, Met Buzz, did entry to TSL photo pass and then Toy Story Mania by 7:55ish.

Total wait for Slinky was 33 minutes for us.

 

[TammyLynn33]

So you had no probs rope dropping both then hitting breakfast? What did you Fastpass? Thanks
