Had the opportunity to use the VQ twice for Cosmic Rewind during my recent trip.
On Monday Oct 2nd, I waited 3 secs after 7:00:00 to get a "later" group so I could do other rides first; also had early entry for resort guests.
Got BG 56 which was called at 11:28am.
On Tuesday Oct 3rd, I did a little experiment. I reserved Epcot as my park for that day. At 7:00:00, I immediately got BG 3, and then modified my park reservation to Hollywood Studios after it.
Later in the day around 3pm when I hopped over to Epcot via Skyliner, I scanned in and my BG worked. It did blink blue (since it's probably passed its return window), but the CM waved me through.
So it's a pretty neat "hack" if you want to secure a BG but then start your day at another park, since return windows aren't enforced on GOTG unlike at Tron. This is unlikely to get patched since park reservations goes away next year.
I also got 2 individual lightning lanes during my trip. They were $14 both days.
Sunday Oct 1 - 3:25 - 4:25
Monday Oct 2 - 1:30 - 2:30
Lightning lane had about a 5 mins wait while VQ had about a 35 mins wait til preshow rooms.
