Doh! We are not lucky enough to have a grandparent along when we go.We did not, grandma and grandpa took her while we were on!
I was shocked that I was able to renew my AP without a price hike this year.Hey, look, it's back up .
I'm just having fun with the conjecture because it's all I've got, with no trips scheduled in the near future. My engineer side enjoys thinking through the scenarios. The coolest job I can imagine right now would be as a QA /failure analysis engineer on this beast.
I have reasons for my optimism, though. The system will improve and eventually meet a minimum standard of reliability.
It'll take time to get there, but it will.
At least ticket prices didn't go up with the debut. If they had, I'd probably cry foul.
In a year... maybe two... we'll be trying to remember what the problem was.
They’ve done that before. There were two years my pass was the same price before skyrocketing up this past year. Let’s hope we can make it to July without another price hike.I was shocked that I was able to renew my AP without a price hike this year.
Fearing long lines at the entrance gate, I got 7:30 AM reservations for our family at the Plaza Inn for Minnie & Friends breakfast so that we would be in the park for sure by 8AM to get our ROTR BG. I thought maybe that would allow us to bypass some crowds if things were backed up. So, several questions... anyone know what our chances of getting cell reception to get our ROTR BG from the Plaza Inn? Not sure if we can run off from breakfast to the flagpole with our phones. Also, if the crowds are really bad then since they do seem to be opening the gates around 7:30 will we be able to jump any lines if we have reservations in the park? I remember many years ago there was a separate gate opened for us when we had reservations before the park opened. (This is for Saturday, 2/15 - park opens at 8AM and it is a MM/EMH day).
I'm curious...has anyone following this thread and utilizing the tips shared NOT gotten a Boarding Group? It seems like most people returning to post are sharing which BG they ended up with. I get that's more exciting to post than sharing a BG wasn't secured. Just curious.
A lot of that depends on what your priorities are beyond ROTR.
If it were me, I'd use the opening afternoon/evening to enjoy Galaxy's edge, maybe do the Cantina (get a reservation ASAP if you want to do this), and any other GE experiences (Droid/Lightsaber etc), hit the Millenium Falcon, and maybe some other attractions in DL.
Thursday would be MM in DL, so I'd plan on that - enjoy MM and attempt a BG.
Friday would be EMH in DCA, so I'd plan on that...depending on if you rode ROTR the day previous you might bug out early to go scan into DL so you can get a BG. Or you could just make this your DCA day and not worry about it. You could also gamble and go over to DL after EMH is over since on Fridays the backup BGs have so far lasted over half an hour, so if you got over there say 10 after 8 you could probably get a backup with a decent shot at riding.
Saturday is again MM in DL.
I can't speak to doing security at GCH, only that most folks for the DCA EMH agree that using the main gate is better than trying to use the GCH entrance to get in.
Have a great trip.
Yep. I didn't get one the first time I tried. All my buttons remained greyed out. Many people on this thread have reported having multiple people in their party trying at the same time and only one person actually scoring them, while experiencing various glitches and errors on other phones.
No, like an extra hour! We woke up at 6:45 today to be there by 8, for a park open at 9.
I usually can wake up at 8 or 8:30 and be there by 9:15.
Ummm... this is a weird response.Did you read your post before sending? You have an hour fifteen both cases. And why show up at 8 when you don’t need to be there til 8:55?
Thank youLooks like 95 is the last group called today.
