Hmmm... do you known if you would have been able to get one after 9:00 but before 11:00? I'm really curious about that.
So take this scenario.
Let's say AK opens at 8:00 and HS opens at 9:00. I have AK reservations and plan to hop to HS.
So at 7:00 a.m. I get a Kilimanjaro Safari's booking for, say 8:30. I tap in and try to book Tower of Terror - according to your experience, that won't work.
But what if I wait until 9:05 to try ToT? It seems like that should work according to the rules.
If not, however, I'm assuming that I certainly could at 10:30 - i.e. two hours after I tapped into Safari. Is that true?
I'm thinking it would be at least somewhat advantageous because I assume you get waves of HS bookings at 7:00 a.m., 11:00 a.m., and 1:00 p.m. With the above strategy, I'd be a half hour ahead of "the wave." I couldn't get more bookings (either way I'd only get three) but I'd be somewhat more likely to do OK at my third HS booking (i.e. better time or better availability).
Is that right, or am I off target?
