We went to HS today. Arrived before 10, but was unable to get ROTR. Tried again at 1pm and 4pm and still no luck. I had the app open and ready on time, but as soon as I tried to join it said it was full.
I will say HS felt way more busier than MK and AK!! Like a big difference in crowds to me!
It was a quick moving, but long security line to get in. Rides had much longer wait times. I believe Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Train was at 70 minutes at one point. We left around 1:30 after being able to do 3 rides and a show. We are waiting out the current rain/storm and hopefully will head back over soon.
I didn’t see any obvious mask non-compliance and everyone appeared to be trying to follow the rules, but it felt crowded to me, especially the first couple of hours.
We took a break at that pizza place near muppets and sat outside at one of their tables prior to the restaurant being opened. We were eating our snacks, but were told we needed to leave as it was only for restaurant guests. Maybe that is the normal rule, but we were trying to be responsible by eating and drinking there compared to eating while walking or eating while in line.
Also, on another note, last night at the Contemporary they ran out of straws, ice and napkins at Contempo Cafe. It took nearly an hour for my mobile order to be ready.
The lines for the elevators have been so long that a CM started taking groups to the employee elevator to help out. We have waited nearly 20 minutes for an elevator on multiple occasions. I asked about stairs, but they said they can’t be used. I could see the stress on the CMs faces by these situations, so I continue to try to show my patience. They are doing the best they can!
Even though HS was a little disappointing today we are still having a great time. I think my expectations were too high after the awesomeness of MK and AK.
Epcot tomorrow!
