Walk me through PPO H&V Entry to HS

[JJ2017]

My type A brain is really kicking in now. We have an 8:00 am PPO H&V breakfast on a 9 am HS opening. What turnstile do we head to and what time should we show up? We will be walking over from Dolphin.

Also, will anyone else already be let into HS besides PPO people?

And if sign ups for Jedi are allowed during this time, it looks like it's just pass breakfast?

Thank you!

No, unless Early Morning Magic is going on that morning... although it starts at 7:30 (and people are let in for early breakfast more like 6:45) so they'll generally be in the park/out of sight by the time you're there.

I'm sorry I can't answer exact PPO ADR details - it's been awhile since we've done one at DHS and my experience may be stale.

No EMM going on. Anyone know where and when we line up? Thanks!

Last spring, we entered a turnstile on the left hand side. It's easy to find.

I will say that the process was frustrating and confusing. We stood in a long line to check in with one CM with a tablet to verify we had a breakfast reservation. Once we did that, we stood in another long line to scan and enter the park. They only had 2 fingerprint scanners open and of course people were having issues with tickets and fingerprints

The whole process seemed to take forever but was probably only 15 minutes or so. That was the only time we have done PPO meal at HS so I have no idea if it's normally that slow. We often do MK PPO and it's super fast

To do Jedi training, just walk past the restaurant and you'll see signage and CM's standing around where sign-ups are. It's super close.

There will be someone checking you in. No need to get anxious about it. Promise you'll find it!

Thank you! We have never done a PPO breakfast before and this board really helps ease my mind!

There's CM everywhere to direct you, or you can ask questions.

The tapstyle to the left was open for us. But, they'll be signs. If you aren't sure, just ask! There was a quite a line of people already when we got there, so one of us got online, and the other went up to the front of the line to make sure we were on the correct line. We were.

Eventually, a CM came down the line to make sure everyone on it had a PPO ADR. About 1/2 the people in the line did not, and the line got a lot shorter.

Around 7:55, they started letting people in. We checked in at the podium for H&V. DW waited there with DD (who was too old for Jedi training), while I took DS to sign up for Jedi. It's super close (just ask CM where to go if you aren't sure. It's past H&V, and then to the left).

I got back with DS just about a minute or two before they called our party.

After breakfast, we went to ToT with about a 15 minute wait. We were behind the rope drop crowd (we didn't even try to finish in time to get out in front of them). This was before TSL opened.
