Soarin LIVE reports!

[ValerieK]

3 hour wait from the "wait time sign".

yea, no....

 

[Dr.Mickey]

Past the merge at 9:12. Saw one FP couple. Very easy. Will be terrible once FP gets 75% of the seats. Plus it's been fun getting applause from CMs

I won't be able to rope drop or get a FP for this on my very short trip to WDW.
I'm wondering what we'll be looking at in terms of wait mid-morning in a bit over a week.

 

[Good Morning Dewdrop]

I am really looking forward to seeing it but not THAT much Glad our trip is in fairly quiet September....and I'll have a FP!

 

[LBarLRanch]

In line just past the entrance. Says 240 minutes. We waited 25 minutes from the front doors so far.

Be sure to report back at 1:00 p.m. after you complete the ride!

You know, I like Soarin', and I'm glad that I have a FP for my trip, but no way would I even consider waiting in that line. I'd just watch the video on YouTube and lean to the left and right a bit at the appropriate times.

But I hope that you all have a great time! And thanks for the report.

A definite FP+ or a 'forget about it' for me. Wow!!!

I have a fast pass for Sunday at 10:40 am. Hope it isn't that crazy!

Anyone who waits in a standby line for 240 minutes (a) doesn't value their own free time and existence or (b) is clinically insane.

if its a very short trip...your wait for Soarin may be longer then your actual trip. lol

 

[farrahalex76]

The wait on the app did go down to 150 minutes.

 

[mullii5]

pffft....it's only 203 minutes, now!!!!

Maybe you have to have a certain mindset to want to be first for things. Is it only to say "I was there first" or something similar? I must have missed out on that particular gene. Lol
Not meant as an insult at all, I just never had had the desire to be the first.

For the life of me I can't understand waiting in crazy lines for rides, movies, iPhones etc. The same thing will be there the next day with smaller lines or no lines.

That being said, it is interesting to see the new updates and people's thought on the new ride. So I guess I'm glad some people want to be first haha

 

[epcotty]

We've only done Soarin' with FP, would never consider it otherwise due to long waits

Me too. Especially when you consider that after you have waited through the entirety of a 240 (or 180, or 150, or 200) minute line, you were anything but "first".

 

[Nohal]

Just watched it live on facebook. The Disneyfoodblog will have it on their website shortly. It was awesome.

 

[StirlingSilver83]

WOW WOW and WOW! I was planning on doing a PPO at garden grill for our trip in March and then going straight to Soarin. If the wait was 90 minutes at 8:01 before the park even opens then I am guessing people booked Garden Grill and just paid the no show fee to get into the Soarin line. I am hoping this all calms down before our trip lol...otherwise hubby will be getting a snack and missing out on Garden Grill so he can wait in the Soarin line for my son, lol...I can't do Soarin bc I get vertigo so I was planning to do Living w/ The Land with my toddler and my hubby and older son get ride Soarin. Heres to hoping things calm down a bit, lol
