I've been discussing this whole BG thing at length in preparation for our trip the last week of February. I say I've been discussing it because it's become a monologue. Yesterday two family members said crazy things to me like, "It's just a ride" and "We'll just move on with our day if we don't get a BG". I'm going to work on not having an extreme level of anxiety or disappointment about it so hopefully it won't affect the rest of my day. My family will be fine. I don't want to dwell on that one thing and be a Debbie Downer. Anyway, I appreciate you posting about your feelings about it. It made me feel like I'm not the only one that has a stress response to these things.

Funny how I never feel stressed about CA mornings. Only DL mornings.

No, I totally get it. We arrived at 7:15 and the lines were already back to DCA, and my dad goes “This isn’t happening today.” We didn’t think we’d scan into dl by 8. I got on here and ranted for one or two posts, and then accepted it. Because it didn’t mean as much to anyone else in our group except me- although my mom screamed out loud when I did get us a boarding group so I think she wanted to ride as badly as I did! I’d been preparing myself all weekend that we maybe had a 50/50 shot at getting a BG, but I really wanted my parents to ride, and I think I would’ve felt like a failure if I hadn’t been able to get one. Ha!

I’m so glad we rode because I’m not even going to attempt to ride again until the youngest is tall enough. The next day at the parks was so relaxing and we even waltzed into SR with a 25 minute wait at 1:30!

This thread makes me so happy.

NO! Try not. DO. Or do not. There is no try.

Fridays are not terrible as it is not a magic morning. Backups last a while. Not as nice as wednesdays... but better than Tues/Thurs for sure.

So far we've planned on going to DL on Tues/Fri and CA on Wed/Th. Are Tuesdays terrible? I guess we'll have Friday as a backup. My family will really think I'm crazy if I change things up with less than three weeks to go. Who am I kidding? They already do think that.

That sounds crazy and would have made me so anxious. I was planning on arriving an hour before opening on our non-MM day. Are we thinking that's not nearly enough time? We'll be there at park opening on Thursday because we'll have MM. But I'm wondering about our Friday. They open at 8 that day.

Second reboot

Would it help if I got out and pushed?

 

[ironband74]

With two hours of downtime, I'm surprised they haven't cleared the queue and issued fast passes. Keeping y'all captive for that long under threat of loss of boarding group is really uncool.

84!

I don't understand why they can't just issue replacement fastpasses for those in line.

Went down... again. Been in line 2 hours and 20 minutes at this point.

Probably because the second the ride is ready, they want to have plenty of people to cycle through right away, rather than have to account for all those who now have FP's, and may decide to wait a few hours before returning. It works better for them, even though you're stuck waiting around while Their ride malfunctions yet again.

So essentially, now in addition to the whole Boarding Group thing, you actually can end up in a 1, 2 or 3 Hour Standby Queue after all.

 

[natebenma]

Still in holding pattern

Obscene. Absolutely obscene they’ve left people in the line that long after all the BG crap. And dumb of Disney, the time people spend in the line under threat of losing their BG they could be using to spend money on snacks and souvenirs as they wander around SWGE and nearby lands...

Can’t and can’t be bothered are 2 different things.
