Staying at the GCH so a walk away, waiting with baited breath.

Just start walking over! 111!

I don’t know if it’s been mentioned, but in Anaheim you only have One Hour after your group is called, not Two, like it is in Orlando.

We got three hours. Notification was 12:41, told us to report by 3:41.

Am I wrong in thinking that this is moving really quickly? Makes me wonder if people in the later groups bailed.

That's what I was thinking, maybe people with 100+ BG got tired of waiting and left

Maybe. When I go with my son we won’t be able to stay late so IF we get a boarding group we will only be able to use it if our number is called before we have to leave.

112! I’m so excited for the back-up groups.

 

[Vysecity]

113!!!

They called 100 just 35 minutes ago and it’s already the earliest group still allowed back.

That’s really weird.

Check the return times on your notifications, people!

Does anyone know what the parking lot opening times are for Saturday and Sunday? Thank you all for your great knowledge and experiences!

If you will be paying for parking, you may want to consider parking at Courtyard by Marriott (1420 S Harbor). They have valet parking @ $30 for the complete park day and the valets are always available...you don’t have to worry about it not being open.

We drive up from San Diego so it’s really easy access and after we drop off the car, we head to Panera for a quick breakfast on the way to the parks.

What a great idea I never would have thought of. Not that I need it, but still good to know.

This just makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside!

That’s incorrect. We were called at 5:24 and had until 7:24.

Interesting. Maybe people with high boarding groups did leave.

I guess that’s good for the people that stuck with it!

And it’s only the first day. It’ll be a couple weeks before a pattern emerges and we see how people adjust.

I’ll say I prefer boarding groups to waiting in an hours long standby line!

 

[CastAStone]

That's not what happened to me. I left the park at 4:15, but they got to my group #90 at 7:05. My notification said to report by 8:05. It's also not what is stated in this

FYI links from that site are auto blocked on The Dis since it was banned last summer.

 

[Skyegirl1999]

I didn’t say that’s what happened to you... I just said we got three hours.

 

[BlueRibbon]

Got here at 3:30 this morming, got boarding group 110, and I'm in line right now!!! So excited!!!

I was only allowed 1hr to get back. 110 was called at 8:30 and had until 9:30 to get there.

Just got home after a long day at the parks. Parked car at the Toy Story lot at 6:30AM. Through security, shuttled over and scanned into the park at 6:45. Sat on the benches at the Main St train station facing the castle and scored boarding group 24 for 4 of us. Entered the queue at 10AM and, even with a delay, we were off the ride at 11:15. Thought the ride was amazing and I cannot wait to go back on Monday to try it all over again. I never go to the parks before noon but I am making an exception for this ride.

Were any stores or food places open early in the morning before the official park hour?

Starbucks and Jolly Holiday. Lines were HORRENDOUS. People near us at opening showed up to join their group at 7:45 and said they’d waited over 90 minutes for Starbucks - could be a bit of an exaggeration, but it’s feasible given how the line looked!

ETA: Oh, and Emporium.
