VERY but I wonder if they are taking into account the local WoC crowd potential?

I know and how can they unless they are running soft opening right now. If they are then the locals are visiting now.

My guess is that it may change again until the WoC times are posted. I don't think Disney has informed Ridemax with any info and WoC isn't on their list of hints and tips with regard to shows and parades.

Oh wow, so Ridemax is no real help. That stinks.

Usually Ridemax rocks so I am not completely giving up hope however how will they know until after our trips as we'll both be there opening week of WoC? I think they should predict for Spring Break crowds in the software for June 11 forward especially on the days when there aren't any AP block out days.

They will give you your money back if not satisfied- it's in their guarantee.

Now, I didn't realize that, hopefully for them this clears up. Their hands are kind of tied at Ridemax until Disney releases the information.

Their hands are totally tied as our ours.


I am hoping we know something by June 1st. I really like to make 4 Ridemax plans per day with staggering arrival times.

You truly are the uber planner aren't you?

And here I am......

I am but I like to make the plans more than follow the plans. We stick to it in the morning and buy lunch the plan is crumpled up in my bag somewhere.

23 days!!!! ​

I called DVC Member Services yesterday and my waitlist hasn't come through. There isn't any villas available at a cash discount either. So the plan looks pretty solid for the PPH that last night. As we near, I am thinking more about the GCH, easier move, however I dson't want to pay $300 for one night at a hotel.

Still waiting on the HoJo Ent rate or AP rate to come through but the WoC should dash those hopes I am sure.

Made those Garden Walk reservations and asked the kids last night. Gabby loves PF Changs but we have those here. Chloe and Joshua voted for Bubba Gumps and we haven't been there. Chloe also likes RBJZ and once I told Joshua that it would be a little Tiana's Place in the movie he was more for it.

DH said I have lost my mind.

You need to make reservations for Gardenwalk? If so how do you go about making them?

I did. We'll be there on a Saturday night and after driving all day, I cannot imagine having to wait an hour for dinner. Go to the Garden Walk website and click on dining. After that click on the restaurant name and go from there. Better safe than sorry.

Thanks Jenny ! Are you having any luck with ridemax today? I have been playing around with it and it is putting all of my rides in the afternoon and evening, leaving large chuncks of available time in the morning. Does this mean they expect crowds to die down with WOC, Fantasmic and Fireworks?

That would be my guess. I haven't got to it yet. Work has needed me.

I can't wait to get started. How long are the breaks they are giving?

I am also wondering if the WoC FP machines are connected to other making us unable to grab another FP before 2 hours?

Okay, I just did DCA for 6/14 Monday and it wouldn't allow me many attractions. Granted I have my start time at 10 and end at 4 with no breaks figuring we'd use the natural break and it would only allow:

Soarin'
GRR
Monster's Inc.
ToT
MM
Tortilla Factory
Golden Zephyr
Jumpin' Jellyfish
Screamin'
Orange Stinger
Fun Wheel of Death
TSMM
Maliboomer


I had to leave out:
the Animation Studio
all of a Bug's Land
Muppet's
Redwood Challenge
S.S. Rustworthy
Carousel


I have NO idea how the WoC FPs will affect getting other FPs but it looks like they are taking into consideration the increased crowds. This day also has no AP block outs which highly affects crowd levels.

I ran Saturday 6/19 accounting for our late arrival and our lunder (Late lunch/early dinner at Carnation Cafe and Ridemax planned for 10 to 8:15p and it gave me 1 ride at 10:05 free time until our break and all our rides from 4 to 8:15p with no more than a 20 minute wait!?

Is Disney well lit at night? I know here it doesn't get dark til 8 or so in the summer is it the same in CA?

I am wondering if their is a good order for ridemax or if I am just choosing the wrong rides?


(not wrong rides but order for rides)

Disney is the best at night! Lots of twinkle lights as well as light posts.

Try removing a ride and see if that mixes up the order and try staggering arrival times.

I never put in for a break. If we want to do the 3:00 parade, I have our end time for 2 pm then make a new plan starting at 4 pm or whatever time I think. I make a few different plans for each day though. I need a geek smiley!

I'm glad all of you June folk have RideMax now. Hooray for planning! Jenny, I laughed when you said you make all of the plans and then they end up crumpled in your bag. That's what will probably happen to me.

Here's a question: On the dates that I've played with, RideMax does not have the Disneyland Railroad listed. Is it closed, or is RideMax just trying to complicate my life by not letting see the dinosaurs?

Jenny, I sent some pictures to (what I hope is) your current gmail account. Let me know if you get them!

Like I have said, planning is part of the fun for me. Que geek smiley!

Really? Hmm....let me see if it's on for my dates. Is it being refurbed on your dates maybe?

Jenny, I sent some pictures to (what I hope is) your current gmail account. Let me know if you get them!

The gmail account you have is my current email addy. I can check when I get home. I am excited to see how big he is.


ETA: the DLRR is not listed on my dates. Did the tips and hints section give you any info? Sometimes Ridemax gives good info in there.

 

[kaoden39]

Sounds like Ridemax still is not in sync.
