I just realized that my son's Believe pass is blocked out on the day we're going to the OBB. The last two times we've gone, we entered the parks prior to 3:30 just to get our wristbands and then left for the mix-in time and had dinner in DTD until just before the party started. I was planning on doing that again but now that won't work.

I'm trying to avoid waiting in a long line to enter the park. I don't need my son melting in the sun for an hour before the party even gets started. What's a good time to enter to avoid the lines? I think I'll try to book a table service dinner inside the park during the mix-in period to avoid the crowds.

Any advice would be much appreciated!
 
What day of the week are you going? I’ve only went on Sundays. People start lining up well before 3PM. The later you go, the less people there will be in line. Maybe it’s different on a weekday.
 
We are going Sunday.

Last year we went at 4PM and there was minimal wait. In prior years we’d get there at 3PM and there were would be a heavy crowd but the line would move quickly. Since DLR moved to the new entrance system, the line has moved slower because one person often has their entire party’s tickets on their phone… and it just isn’t efficient. So don’t expect the line to be as fast.

We went through the DCA turnstiles on Sunday (8/24) between 4:30 and 5 pm. Both the OBB and the regular lines were about 10 minutes. The regular lines would have been a lot shorter without all the OBB guests who got in the wrong lines.

Have a great time at OBB!
