Thanks to all for the tips! Last Friday was my day, and practice really did pay off! We got to the park at about 8:50, so of course we had to circle around once. When we got back, they were letting cars line up at the parking booths. Booths opened at 9:10, and we were tapped in the park at 9:30. Got in line for MMRR, and were at the entrance to the ride at 9:58. No way I was going inside at that point so we stepped aside to concentrate on getting a BG. Opened
MDE 5 seconds before 10:00, got the blue button, selected my party and hit “join” I wasn’t sure I got it, and because of the way I practice, I had hit refresh really quickly and hit “join” again, and got a message saying that we already had a BG!
YAY!! BG 6! So happy- my heart was pounding! People all around us were cheering and EVERYONE had their phones out working the app. We got back in line and rode MMRR, then headed straight over to Rise. The ride broke down right before we were to board, so we were held in the boarding area for about 20 minutes, but we finally got to ride and it was magnificent!! Worth the weeks of practice and months of waiting (was there in February and couldn’t get a BG). By 11:00am, we had ridden MMRR, ROTR, and MFSR!!! (Could NOT have imagined that back in February!) It was a great start to our HS day - in total, we rode MFSR 3 times, TOT 4 times, Slinky 3 times, and did Rockin Roller coaster, Toy Story Mania, MMRR, and Rise one time each. It was spectacular!! Good luck to everyone trying, and May the Force Be With You!
