This morning's VQ is still open as of 7:05am - surprising.

 

[gorillaball]

Still open at 25 min, hoping they didn’t glitch and forget to cap it (since I’m in the 1p crowd).

 

[brettf22]

I wonder if they restricted AP reservations enough so that they could be ready to allocate VQs to everybody with a reservation? Then, if operations are going well, they can release more at 1.

In any event, group 8 feels like a win.

 

[monothingie]

Let's see what the 1PM Drop does.

But if it follows the same pattern...then...uh oh.

I'll throw out as a theory that maybe the Disney POV ride through which was released after the AP Preview announcement made some AP holders who had booked ahead of time think twice about going in early?

Cast Members are telling guests Tiana’s Bayou Adventure is having a delayed opening this morning.

Wouldn't that absolutely slam them for the second half of the day though?

[retr0gate]

I have an MK reservation but I didn't (and have still yet to) join the VQ because I know I won't be able to get to the park until after work. Is it a dumb idea to wait until the 1 PM drop? Do we think those will go more quickly? My hesitation with getting a group now is getting an early return time and then not being let in because I missed it

EDIT: Nevermind, queue is closed as of immediately after me writing this

Day 1 of 6 of AP previews:

7am drop closed at 9:02am, lasting for 7341.388 secs, or ~2 hours 2 mins.
Thursday 7am Drop Average: 2hr 2m -> 2hr 2m (+0)

As of park opening at 9am, BG's have not been called yet for the day.
BG's 1-10 called at 11:40am as part of the initial wave, a ~2.5 hour delayed opening.

Side note: Another new ride, another VQ to track! That now makes three rides!
I also set up an alarm for 6am (central time) to make sure my tracker is running correctly for TBA, but the morning VQ window didn't even last secs this time!

I'm not even going to try to get a reservation until they manage to get this thing working with some basic degree of consistency (which at this rate could be fall or even winter). Far too many breakdowns for my taste to bother with right now.

 

[brettf22]

As of 9:20am, the estimated callback for my Boarding Group 8 has jumped to 11:35am

And since the Boarding Group window closed right when it was official it wouldn’t open on time, this could infer that they closed it when it was obvious it wouldn’t open at rope drop. Doesn’t bode well for the 1pm drop.

10:10 update: Still showing 11:35 for my estimated group 8 return. Cast members are (expectedly) saying no estimated up time, but to “hang around the area.”

Great job all around.

Maybe a quick remodel that Facilier has returned from the dead and learned the power of stasis will fix things.

 

[menamechris]

There's almost a 100% chance of thunderstorms and rain this afternoon and evening in Orlando. I can understand why alot of folks may be holding off.

 

[saxamoophone]

still not open as of 11am

 

[gerarar]

BG's 1-10 have finally been called at 11:40am.

 

[brettf22]

11:41. Just called my number 8. Folks going in.

Update: For those scoring at home, BG called at 11:41, on the ride by 11:56, off the ride at 12:15. Two delays on-ride, right before the main drop, one at unload.

 

[David M]

Fu****** b******* it never even opened at 1pm

 

[CntrlFlPete]

that was fast -- maybe another day.

Honestly it’s BS, it never even opened at 1pm considering its was magically full when I refreshed at 12:59 and 50 seconds based on a world clock
