News TRON Lightcycle Run Standby Line and Lighting Lane status

[Ayla]

It was insanely hot then subsequently rainy at MK yesterday. We left at 2ish, and the amount of people on the monorail and ferries was greater than expected at that hour.

Ah, good point. I didn't factor weather into the equation. Thanks for pointing that out as a possible factor.

Of course.

I wanted to add, I've ridden it a few times now. From a guest perspective, yesterday- even with sold out 7am VQ - didn't feel that busy.

I know it was assumed as it worked this way for Guardians, but just wanted to confirm that you do not, in fact, have to be inside Magic Kingdom to obtain a Virtual Queue slot at 1pm. You just need to have scanned into Magic Kingdom at some point before.

For reference, I hopped over at 1:50, got boarding group 163. Timing wise I expect my group to be called during or right after HEA. Also you can have an uncalled boarding group and join the EMH one. I’m boarding group 197 there.

Well, my ticket to see Josh Groban and Analeigh Ashford in Sweeney Todd on Broadway was over $300 after fees, and the show is only two and a half hours. That’s more than a dollar a minute, which is absolutely freaking highway robbery. On the other hand, no one put a gun to my head and made me purchase the ticket.

I know you posted this quite a while ago butt just saw. Taking my kids to "attend the tale" in june. Yes prices are outrageous. But will pay for this show, as it is my favorite. Initial reviews though say Groban is not evil enough. too "nice" god i hope not.

I did see Tim Tracker report he was told they are giving an hour grace period for now.

Hopefully they finalize what the rules will be before the official open and then highly publicize it and everyone treated the same (outside of having a good, legit excuse, should be some understanding when warranted) - I am sure there will be a desire for some to delay until it is dark out

So i rode Guardians again about a week ago. I live in Orlando about an hour from the gate. I got boarding group 19. Got out of the shower to find it had already been called before official park opening. Got there about 40 minutes past my window. Stopped at blue umbrella. They said just go get on, they are not strict about times at guardians. But they warned me that they are very strict at Tron

 

[harry58]

Did you mean you are at a disadvantage of getting a Lightning Lane? If so, I have DAS so that won't be an issue.

forgive my idiocy but what is DAS? i am an Orlando resident and annual pass holder but never heard of this.

DAS stands for disability access service. It’s used for people who are not able to wait in physical lines.
