Riding the Lilly Belle

[heartse]

When you go to get the reservation for riding the Lilly Belle, do you need to have your tickets and/or have your whole party there? We have competing desires - getting in line for the Frozen sisters, which you need your tickets for, and riding on the Lilly Belle.

Also, does anyone know which days the Lilly Belle runs?

Thanks!

When I did it, they didn't need tickets, just a name.

There is no set schedule for when it's available and there's no way to know if it's made available to guests or just members. You just have to go to the station first thing in the morning and see if they have a time available.

I thought they discontinued LB rides for regular guests...

As of a couple years ago: only one member needs to reserve the spot for your party. Be there when they open the doors to the main street station. All they did was write down a name, no tickets needed. "Regular" DL guests can ride the LB this way and it's a wonderful experience!
Also-you don't know the days or times LB is running until you ask to sign up in the morning.

I read this somewhere as well. It's my understanding that it's only available for VIP tours and Club 33 members now.

This is what I was told as well. I want to say it was at the beginning of this year that they stopped allowing regular guests ride.

They decided that on some days, if not reserved they might allow a single trip to regular guests. You probably have a better chance of being struck by lightning. But it's that much of an imposition to have someone go to the station when the park opens to ask.

That's too bad. I'm so glad we took the time to do this last year.

They stopped? How sad if this is so! Maybe OP wouldn't mind reporting back on the boards if they have any luck riding the Lilly Belle or if "no regular guests" is now the new normal?

I was told in May that you had to be a C33 or on the VIP tour as of the beginning of this year.

We were given literal tickets after we rode it on the VIP tour, in order to be able to ride again sometime when not on the tour. There is a photo somewhere in my TR of the ticket. I would still send one person to go and ask nicely first thing in the morning and if it's running ask if you can have a ticket to ride it after A&E. You never know!!

I was in DL last week and made a detour into the station to inquire about whether or not the LB was running and, if so, could we get on the schedule to ride it. The CM I spoke with looked at me like I was crazy and rather rudely informed me that the LB had been off line for several months and would continue to be offline for the foreseeable future. He didn't say whether or not regular guests would be allowed to ride when it came back on.
