Travel day, which time to try for a BG?

[olik8smom]

We're scheduled to land at MCO at 11:00am tomorrow, and our plan is to take DME to CBR, drop off luggage, and take the skyliner to HS. Just wondering what others' thoughts are on when we should try for a RotR BG. Our flight departs at 8:00am, so I will be able to try at 7:00, but then not sure if we'll get too early of a BG and won't make it to the park on time. On the other hand, I'm doubtful we'll be able to get inside the park by 1:00 (wishing it was still 2:00). I'm thinking either way, it's unlikely that it will work out for us, but if it were you, which time would you try for a BG?
Thank you!

I'd try for the 7am and see what you get. It might be too stressful trying to make it into HS by 1pm. 2 hours is really cutting it very close to impossible. At least the 7am slot you have a shot at getting a BG that's more likely to work with your schedule than hoping against all hope to make it in HS by 1pm. Goodluck

Thanks, this makes sense. Appreciate it!

If I was in your situation I would absolutely try at 7. If I got one that was too early, I'd go straight to Rise when we got in the park and explain. There's a good chance they'll let you on even if you are very late.

How did it go?
I live 3 hours away and really want to finally get a BP. I can try from home but I was worried it would be the the time I got BG 2

I was able to get BG 74 from the airport, and we had enough time to get from MCO to CBR and over to HS on the skyliner in time for our BG. We went to HS again later in the week, and I got BG 40 at 7am, but then hurt my foot, and we were late getting to the park. CMs at RotR had no problem letting us on a couple hours late. If you are in a similar situation as we were, I would definitely recommend trying for a BG at 7am! Btw, RotR was amazing and worth all of the stress of getting a BG.

I will be in a similar situation this May with a flight arriving MCO a little after 10:30 am. My plan was to try at 7:00am from the departure airport, but as mentioned above I too was concerned about getting a low BG where I wouldn't be able to make it to DHS on time. It appears the CMs are more flexible in this situation than one might assume. I'll give it a try and see what happens.

Happy to hear it all worked out for you!
