This is Lightning McQueen slander and I won’t stand for it

I wont lie, I’ve been to DHS twice since Lightning McQueen has opened and I still have no idea where the building is lol. I know its over towards ToT and RnRc, but I still wasn’t able to find it

That does not surprise me. I honestly had not even thought of it but when I rode the Skyliner for the first time last fall the hub station was a nightmare - lines spilling out everywhere and criss crossing each other. It was much better this spring but I used it at non peak times. The station is just not laid out in a way that makes it easy to distance the individual lines.

Definitely issues at peak times ... though the lack of park hopping should help some as usually the worst was crowds wanting to get over to EPCOT like late afternoon for dinner/festival booths

What’s the point of lining up outside if you had issues with the VQ? There isn’t going to be any lull in the line where you can sneak in.

I believe they are lining up for guest experience team help. I’ve seen issues with not being able to select your party and stuff like that. It seems day 1 is not going all that well on that front.

It’s actually right next to RnRC, tucked around the corner. Joking aside I did hit it up last time I was down there to kill time in some A/C before my ToT FP (was weirdly hot for a November day). It was cute and more entertaining than I thought it would be. Still no Carpets of Aladdin, admittedly.

The Hub station is the one at Caribbean Beach? Or are all of the on/off points considered hubs?

Yes, I think the Caribbean Beach station is the hub.

Agreed, and I really think they should have used this with the previews to test it out. It may have prevented the "disappearing parties" issue and would have given them some data points on the three slots.

In our slow return to normal, DHS opens with boarding group issues. If you blast the A/C and close your eyes it almost feels like January.

you walk down by RNRC (so like under the guitar entrance) and it is down there - past the entrance for RNRC. We've done it twice and actually really enjoy it - the Lightening animatronic is pretty cool. It's not an "e-ticket" or anything, but the type of thing I think DHS needs more of

Its past the entrance to Rock n Roller, you just walk on the side of it.

This is the first thing I plan to seek out this afternoon. There have been reports that they are mailing the magnets, but I plan to go to Mousegear and ask anyway.

Keep us posted! I would love to be able to grab our orange birds next week

 

[TISHLOVESDISNEY]

I did a practice at home at 10, and for the first time, my whole party wasn't listed. I am guessing that may be a common issue there.
BG system a bit rusty from all it's time off.

The problem with that is, CMs don’t have normal tickets, and their guests didn’t necessarily need them either. This system is based on ticketed entry into the park.

I have a feeling Disney is going to have to look hard and consider some serious operating procedures to DHS. It's just way too popular, and they're at capacity almost everyday. It's going to be a mess

Definitely with you on this one. DHS is going to be tough because with no shows running the capacity is going feel high for a lot of the time. As well as not being a circular design there will be people backtracking causing a bit more foot traffic trying to get from hub to hub. For today I was kind of expecting this, I think it depends if the trend continues all day and for the next few days. If the vast majority of people with park reservations rope dropped today then the park make clear out a bit and the wait times wont be as bad. But if there is still a large amount of people that are going to be arriving in the next 3 hours or so then it may be a rough go.

DHS just too stronk, lol.

Parking lot opened at 9am. Current mmrr queue, definitely more people than preview
VQ for rotr wil open at 10

Were they letting people in before 10 am? That explains why MMRR was a two hour wait right at open!

Double post.

We’re at HS. We got into the park around 9:30, got on MFSR and then off at 9:54. Found a spot to try for a boarding group. We got BG 14. Stopped for a quick snack and drink and are doing MFSR again. I don’t know what BG they’re at or what to expect for a return time.
