So can we infer that we should wait some time into the 1:00PM drop to have a better chance of riding at night?

I would say wait a couple more days (bigger sample size). The current data shows that it's still somewhat fluctuating.
But you could probably wait a second or two after it hits 1:00:00 to get a "later" group.

Does anyone know how long this post Spring break 'lull' is meant to last? Will be interesting to see the LL and 1pm drops find a plateau before next more crowded period.
Mid May when kids start getting out of school.
Hmm. To wait for the 1pm drop or not
Saw lots of Sox, Pats, Celtics and Bruins apparel in the park today.Next week is Massachusetts spring break. It’s always the third week in April as the 3rd Monday in April is Patriots Day. I’m not sure if any other states have the same break. Our towns senior class left today for their senior class trip. Only about 30 kids though
Also saw an empty can of Sam in the parking lot and more than one person arriving at MK today with some dunks.
MASSHOLE WEEK IS HERE!

Yes the 6pm is separate from the other drops.
I did that for Guardians (actually got an ILL so rose a total of 3 times that day)

So thoughts on my upcoming days next week.
Our plan is to do Sunday the 23rd, AK/HS then Monday the 24th Epcot/ MK
Staying on property, and the goal for Sunday is FOP and Slinky.
Monday is Guardians and Tron.
Genie + I imagine is the best route to go. ILL for FOP and Tron, with VQ or ILL for Guardians.
I’d imagine set FOP and Tron for 7am ILL for our selected times. And then for Guardians, VQ at 7am, or ILL if we decide we want to decide our times. How long has the Guardians ILL last?

Same thing still happens with guardians
I think it is just that everyone who wants to ride tries at 7am but then only those who didn't get one at 7am are trying at 1pm
So if out of 100 people, say 75 really want to ride and 20 kindof want to and 5 people don't
If they drop 50 VQ spots at 7am, all of those 75 people that really want one are trying.
Then at 1pm if they drop 40 more, well only 25 people who really want one are left so get their spots right away and then the 20 who kind of want one eventually try but will less urgency
The vast majority of guests attempt the 7am, and there are far more guests attempting it than there are slots. So just like at Cosmic Rewind, the 7am always fill in seconds regardless of attendance levels. The 1pm though is far more based on attendance.
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.
