Anorher sluggish weekday, which usually translates to a productive weekend (crossing fingers) for us local weekenders

Overall, since opening, weekday or weekend hasn’t produced a pattern for better or worse operation.

Ugh. This was a fun game for the first two and a half months but it's getting old fast. Still, I have friends in the park today new to WDW who managed to get group 30. So, the beat goes on.

I mean, there kind of is, though. If going only by boarding groups which is the only data readily available to us, there’s absolutely some sort of correlation between downtime on weekdays vs better weekends especially the last few weeks. Now, whether that’s just coincidence or just based on more days of weekdays vs weekends, who knows. The clunkers have definitely been on a weekday.

It is as simple as 5 vs 2 though? Meaning - there are a lot more chances for a 'bad' day to happen simply because there are more weekdays.

It hasn't even been two and a half months yet.

Potentially for sure. But 12 weekends would surely have one day below 100 based on those odds, you would think.

Fair point.

Hopefully I didn't jinx this weekend

Hope I didn’t sound condescending or similar.

Has there been any sort of progress made the past 2 months? Obviously we've been through the discussion that it opened early but even if it did we're past the 2 month mark. How much "too early" could it have been?

Oh, brother. 2 months, 9 days. EDITED for additional comment. Forgive my grand miscalcuation. I'm sure it'll all be smoothed out in 6 days, of course.

 

[DCBaker]

The last initial boarding group (58) was called at 2:49pm. Hopefully a big dent can be made in the backup groups today.

Your post makes it seem like its been much more than 2 1/2. Like 'its was fun for 2 1/2, but now its 4 1/2, its not fun anymore'.

Should it be better? Clearly. But the way you put it doesn't make sense.

Nope, didn't say that at all. I said 2 1/2 months. This is the reality of the situation and I've accepted it -- I just think it's old at this point. That's all.

You know you don't have to follow it on a day to day if you don't want to, right?

I'm a Disney cultist. I'm married to the mouse. And, I'm a go-to at my office for Disney tips and strategies. There's lots of RoTR in my life whether or not I keep tabs on it here. But, I don't know why I have to defend a legit observation?
