A question for all the experts on this blog, please. Can anyone please tell me if they know what the latest available return times are for purchased ILLs for Tron? Are they close to the official park closing time, or are they stopping an hour or two before? On Thrill data, I can see the earliest available times, but I’m interested in the latest, not the earliest. For example, if MK closes at 11 pm like it does these days, and I buy an ILL when they first become available, is it conceivable that I get a 10.45 pm return time offered? Or would the latest be something like 9 pm? Thanks in advance for your insight

Typically last calls for BG's and LL would be an hour before close (to accommodate the 1 hour return window).

Found this tweet which suggest times through 10pm were offered today for ILL:

As above, it is more like 1 hour 15 minutes before close, so about 9:45pm for today.

After experiencing the VQ in person for the first time today I guarantee that they over call BGs. The line before you scan is at least 45 mins. That way, they can say you were late, cancel you, and fill in that seat with a LL+ rider. Sad.

I am curious how fast the evening times sold out as well but you can't see that without a park ticket or hopper and staying onsite I'm guessing.

People must be extremely mad at their money to pay hundreds just to walk into the park, then pay extra to get on the ride, put up with long lines and a mass of people just for a 60 second ride. :banghead:

If you come all the way to WDW, you play by their rules.

Where it may cost Disney is in how quickly people return. We are taking a year off from Disney after our August trip. I need to see other palm trees but it’s just a break.

Disney clarifies TRON Lightcycle Run virtual queue policy for late arrivals​

Perhaps they should have a specific booking window for people who want to ride after dark. They can distribute anticipated daytime capacity at 7AM and 1PM and then have a window at 4PM (or some other time) where the return groups will be after dark. That way people can either try to secure a spot at the earlier drops or risk no spot at all in order to get a ride after dark if they get one.
