Thank you!!

I like that they have 3 different times. Was wondering how they were going to manage that morning crowd, using VQ or not, seemed like either way it would have been a hot mess.

Very, very smart.

Smarter still would have been to make the first one at like 10:20.

Would have been really awesome if due to the reservation system you no longer had to be in park to join. That would alleviate any crowding (if there will be any) almost completely.

Yes this is absolutely a better idea.

I’m happy to see that. It takes care of the most glaring problem with the old system with the most obvious solution, to stagger the opportunities to get a boarding pass throughout the day.

Loving the staggered times, especially the 4:00. I hope it works like its supposed to.

And by the way, you still can't go to the parks in July, so there's that, LOL!

I wonder if you get a Backup group if you can try again for an actual group later or would the "backup" block you since you already are on a BG queue so to speak?

I wonder if on particularly rough days for the attraction later grab times don’t make it on, pushing people to the early slots anyways.

So curious to watch this one, it’s like old times

Hopefully they spent the last three weeks since they brought construction crews back to fix whatever the heck was wrong with it

I'm sure that's a possibility. Hopefully, they are smart enough to at least account for some downtime in their initial queue count. Obviously they can't account for a major glitch.

That would be nice, wouldn’t it!

From what I can remember beforehand, RotR a is not a morning “person”, doesn’t like guests cell phones, and is a big supporter of Frito Lay and bananas. We shall see!

For 50 years it has been virtually guaranteed 365, so just because terms and conditions are there to protect them legally does not mean that people buy them with the good faith that that will be honored. And there have definitely been some people who go every single day. We may not have, but it was on average every other day over the past year.

I understand your frustration but I hope you can also understand that while Disney is under extreme financial pressure that they might show preference to single day ticket purchases and those with resort reservations when park capacity is limited. If you are going every other day as an AP holder, you are paying a very small fraction of what the person paying for daily tickets has to pay and they are also not making money from a resort stay. Quite a bargain compared to $100/day for my 5 day ticket.

It sucks but at the end of the day Disney is a business. They aren’t making decisions based on day to day park reservation capacities. They are likely trying to get folks to come to the resorts and/or purchase single or multi-day tickets.

For sure, it will still make sense to try to get the earliest boarding possible.

For anyone that's done or is familiar the initial queue, do you think the system will be smart enough to prevent groups that got into the 10 or 1 queue from also getting into a later queue?

Well it’s not a construction issue...

Disney says that you’ll only be allowed one ride.

Yea, that was my point. Disney says a lot of things.....

My guess is the back up groups will only come into play for the 4PM slot.
