Especially at Christmas, someone is going to have to be up at 7AM to ride any headliners. Unless you want to wait in line for hours. It doesn't have to be you, and it doesn't even have to be a person in WDW, but someone is going to have to do it.
You have an early riser mom or auntie who might do it for you? I bet my mom would, and she'd be up already.
Just log them in as you on the app.
Nope, just my partner and I. In our 30s and 40s but work in education so are early-risers who want a rest on holiday... ha ha!
Just to be clear, Rose wasn’t suggesting the early riser would be someone travelling with you… actually just the opposite.
Her suggestion was that maybe you’ve got your mom or dad or a sister, brother, aunt, uncle or even a best friend who would be up anyway at 7 am eastern time— either because of time zone differences, or just because they themselves get up with the chickens… They could be at home—wherever home is— nowhere near WDW, making those initial G+ grabs, while you and DBf are happily snoozing, canoodling, or cuddling.
Give them your log in info so that they can log in on the app as though they are you. Then they can grab those first LLs &/or ILLs @ 7a.m. (note: To make any ILLs, you’ll need to have a payment method saved within the app ahead of time…) You would just need to tell them what to prioritize for each day. You could pre-plan this, and leave them with a ‘to-do list’ or you could call or text them the night before to give them instructions.
Since you can’t book your next LL until 2 hours after the park opens, you will most likely be awake to do that selection yourself. If you anticipate a day where you’ll still be in bed at that time, just leave instructions for the second selections.
Your helper can be logged in as you at the same time you are logged in on your own device. DH and I shared my login — we were simultaneously logged in as me on our separate devices our whole trip. The system doesn’t care how many devices are logged in on a single account at the same time.
Hope that made sense.
DH & I would rather spend our mornings in bed too, now that we are empty-nesters. Apparently however, we seem to have raised a rope dropper. So on our recent trip with our eldest son & his family, we were sure to be woken up @ 6-6:30 every day.
Our last 4 days of our trip were on our own… we moved over to the Swan, and slept til noon… well, until 10 am anyway.
It was awesome… but we weren’t using G+ those days, nor were we worried about any must-do’s at that point.
So, I can definitely understand the desire to sleep in on vacation. I think a great many people would rather sleep in on vacation; but somewhere along the line a Disney vacation became the exception to the rule. Suddenly, all the ‘cool kids‘ are rope-droppers. And the rest of us ‘lazy bones‘ are at a disadvantage. Because of its start time, G+ is the total antithesis of a relaxing vacation to me— as is the 7 am VQ race. Whoever decided that 7 am is a perfect time to
force strongly pressure guests to start their Disney vacation days, should be taken to IASW and have their butt forever glued to the seat of a boat.
