New JTA procedure

[summerw]

Can anyone tell me which line gets to fight who? Front vs back circles when initially lining up? Thanks

When we went early April, the back row fought Vader but they forced all the kids to move around by height and were very insistent

Yes, that's what happened to us yesterday. Our daughter got into a jumble of kids once they arrived and the cast members directed them around to different areas so being in the back row is not a guarantee.

Thanks for your update. We will be there Monday. I will also share our experience!

On April 14 at the 11 an show, our kids were in the back row and had seventh sister.

I watched a few shows and it seemed somewhat random who went where. They were hoping for Vader but ended up very happy with SS - she sounds very menacing.

We were there a couple months ago. When they line up at the Outpost, the line nearest the wall got Seventh Sister. When they walk to the stage, led by a Cast Member, it's the line on the Cast Members left.

Forgive me if already posted..they let in a JTA line at 7:50 this morning for 9 AM park opening. We are signed up and have been waiting at internal RD line for TSMM by 8 AM. CM says there is new management and this is the new procedure. Yay for being here early!

How long did it take you to sign up? I'm wondering because we've got an 8am ADR at Hollywood & Vine.

We were there May 4th. Arrived at 8:15 and were 2nd in line at turnstile. No early entry for JTA and park did not open until 8:50. It poured all day so our show was cancelled, but kids met Darth and received a pin.

So, I've never done JTA sign-ups before and we only have one day possible to get my niece signed up for JTA. We have a reservation for H&V at 8:40am for a 9am opening. How early will we be able to get into the park? Can we get in early and walk to where ever the JTA sign-ups our before out reservation and then head to our ADR?

We had an 8am ADR...they let us in at 7:45, I was second in line for JTA sign up. Took all of 5 minute total...we were still early for our ADR.

Good afternoon and happy Mother's Day.

Right now the best I have gotten is an 8:50 adr at H&V on a 9:00 opening next Monday 5/16.

I know it varies but is this likely to help me get signed up before eating or no?

Wasn't sure when we'd be let in with an 8:50. It's just me and ds so we can't have one check in and one go with ds to sign up.

Thanks for any thoughts.

Lisa.

We had an 8am ADR today and were let in at 7:58. We went to sign up before checking in for breakfast and were 3rd in line. All times were available. We signed up for the 740 time tonight and were told the light sabers will be lit up at that time.

I'm also curious if anyone without an ADR was allowed to enter early to sign up recently. We go on Thurs and we're hoping to sign up DD ppo.

How did you make out?

How did you make out?

We were not let in early to sign up but lucked into the park opening at 8:35 so we were signed up by 9. We got our first choice of show but it was in the afternoon anyway.

Wanted to report back with our experience. I got an earlier H&V that was 8:15. Let in with the breakfast line at 7:50 signed up before breakfast. It took about 3 minutes.

For the 10:10 show the front line got Vader, not the one by the wall.

So happy to hear this! I was able to score a 8am H&V instead of our 8:45 one. Hopefully it will be running the same on Wednesday so we can sign DD up and head over to see Olaf after breakfast at RD

Lisa75, thank you for the update. Did you stay at AKV? How long was the bus trip from AKV to DHS?? Was the pre-park opening bus from AKV very limited? We are staying at AKL for the very first time and would like to get some feedback from you. TIA!

No, we weren't at AKV this time. I had to use some holding points so we were at Saratoga. Got to the bus stop at 7am and were at the front of HS well before 7:30. Sorry I couldn't answer specifically to AKL. But we have never had an issue with buses for pre-opening breakfasts from AKL in the past.
