I think it's pretty well documented in this thread that when you got in was random. Many people tried on different devices with different accounts and browsers at different times. People got in when they got in, you were lucky to do so right away, though the system did remember people so since you had gotten the BTMR page technically your account was in the queue at 6:30.

Saw on another forum, not sure if it's accurate, but they said that people who joined between 6:30 and 7:00 were let in randomly, and those who joined the VQ from 7:00 on got in in the order they joined. It seemed random on my devices, my laptop got in first at 7:12, and my cell didn't get in until about 7:30, both joined at 6:31.

Will there be soft openings for opening week?

I would certainly swing by if I was going to be there day before or a couple days before. You never know. I’d also watch social media as it will take about 10 mins to get out if it’s soft opening.

Even tho I logged out & back in?

Once you were in, you were in. There was probably something in your cookies that said you were already cleared for entry. And as you read we all tried and no one found success. For once you actually won the Disney IT lottery lol.

I had 5 different queues between browsers and 2 devices joined between 6:30-7. Every queue hit in order I joined. So, looks like random for some, not for others. #DisneyIT

FYI, if you were able to book more than one date, shaddup about it.

Those of us who failed to get a reservation at all will not have any admiration for your rad booking skills when you brag about “getting all your dates” like the @ssh@t on FB who was seemingly surprised that people were calling him selfish.

Many people, like me, seem to have been unsuccessful for any of the days of their upcoming trips. I am hoping cancellations start to show up once the bookers (and bloggers) with excess reservations finalize their plans.

Will continue to stalk for our late September trip, and try again when ADR day comes for our December trip. Ah well.

It would be nice if Disney notified those with multiple booking that they need to choose ONE and the rest will be deleted.

I was one of the people who couldn't resist refreshing, since nothing seemed to be happening. Luckily, I was still able to get in (probably around 7:15ish) and get one of the last remaining spots for Labor Day weekend. I was hoping that I'd get the 31st, as that was going to be easier for our schedule, but I'll take what I got. It's going to be a bit of a dash for us to get to our dinner reservation at Epcot afterwards. What I'm naively hoping for is that they hold to reservation times.

Yes, because you were in queue while logged in, I don't know if Disney did it by account or IP address but they definitely remembered people. I was able to get back in after having booked and closed everything out once I made it through the queue.
