RotR Planning & Daily Boarding Group Discussion - *CLOSED*

[Fantasyfanatic]

Yes you can Uber to DHS. The lots never really technically close so you should be okay. If they don’t let you in for some reason you could get dropped off at Boardwalk and walk over to DHS.

Perfect. Thanks! Do you think 3am is too early?

 

[mariapounce123]

I think most of us are going at 5am unless something changed.

I know a lot of people were there that early or earlier for the land opening. 3-4AM is probably a good time.

 

[mariapounce123]

Oh wow. Ok thank you. I must have misunderstood the time.

I think @yulilin3 is advising 5:00a but she should be posting updates soon.

@rteetz is a runDisney guy...he thinks 3:00a is “normal.”

We’re taking a short weekend trip with our kids. Mostly for the cp and the Christmas party, but considering trying to get a ride on rotr Saturday morning. Will be watching for reports on Friday of how the morning goes. I don’t think Thursday will really be indicative of anything going forward.

If we can’t get on rotr what do you think are the chances we can get on the falcon Saturday night around 6:30? No chance?

You mean it isn't?

I'm saying 5am just basing it on what happened for the land opening. Then the park was scheduled to open at 6am and we were allowed to queue up and enter the park at 3:30am

My son and I will be there for opening day! Excited but also worried about standing for that long. I have circulation and ambulatory issues. Standing still for hours will be an absolute health issue for me. We are planning to get there as early as necessary to experience RotR, but I will definitely need to borrow a wheelchair at the park. Does anyone know if they will be available that early in the morning? Otherwise I will have to bring my own collapsible chair which I know the CMs probably won't allow. Not sure what to do Any advice is much appreciated! Thanks!

I'm having the same type of questions here too. My dad is fine while walking and can walk long distances/times, but standing in one place for a long time really hurts his back. Just wondering if while we are waiting at the different points he can find a do some laps to walk back and forth and/or sit and then meet back up with the rest of us? Right now unless we find out some more information, he's planning on staying back at the hotel on the 5th until we see how it goes, and then hopefully figure out a plan for later in the vacation

IMO thus far this week every park has been busier this time period, even SW

we do mgm day prior to opening, just discovered SW area closes at4 pm for media. Appears something brewing told to watch the skies that night?

Yes it's been discussed for about a month here and other threads, it's the media event and dedication ceremony. It's at 7:30pm, x wings drones are supposed to fly over the land

120 minutes for MFSR is crazy. My DD was telling me last week she loaded Ariana Grande on to the ride and they cleared an entire pod and loading area, maybe that's what's happening now? Another celebrity?

Maybe but with the holiday weekend and those who have planned their trips around RotR coming in it could still be that.

Leaving tomorrow...DHS on the 4th...do we assume it’s gonna be chaos now in the rest of the park bc of the GE opening? EVERYONE STAY AWAY, love our family

Parks feel busy to me compared to the same week in 2017

Pretty cool that they also invited “Volunteer Family of the Year” to ride.

Not sure if this video footage in the article offers anything that hasn’t already been seen.

Did the governor's security know or was this a "Richard Nixon on the monorail" scenario?

Is Galaxy Edge scheduled to close at 4pm or 5pm on 12/4? We have an ADR for Oga’s at 4pm on 12/4. I had previously heard it was closing at 5. They didn’t call and move us back in September when they were moving all the nighttime reservations and it’s still showing in MDE. Maybe they’ll let us go have our drinks and then escort us out of the land?!
