What's the current Gideon's MORNING protocol?

[Jennasis]

We are going to DS on Thursday (a side trip from our week at the beach) and want to get there early in the AM to get a coffee cake cookie. What is the current situation there? What time should we get there to have the best shot at scoring a cookie? DS opens at 10? So should we get there by 9:30? 9?

Curious this as well. When we went in March at opening there was already a 3 hour wait.

Hi!
I tend to get there right when the parking garage opens at 9am. Weekdays for me seem to be not as crowded unless there’s some special cookie going on IE St. Patricks day. Weekends I’ve been close to the end right before they start the virtual queue, weekdays I’m normally one of the first handful of people. Good luck!

Forgot to add, yes DS opens at 10.

With the garage opening at 9 do you just have to stay in your car until 10?

Oh, no, sorry I wasn’t clear on that, you can get in and through the temp check. Stores don’t normally open until 10. I stand in line at Gideon’s once I get in.
