I think today's long backup boarding times, along with some of the pictures of the lines getting into M&F vs TS, have cemented in my mind to park in Toy Story when I come in a few weeks.

Trying to plan ahead for Sunday, March 8th. If I have a Plaza ADR for 8:10 with an 8am opening will this “help” me at all get in any earlier than the “regular” turnstyles? I know they let in early for early ADR’s but not sure if that’s much of a bonus anymore. I guess I’m wondering just how early they will let me in for a 8:10. i solely have it to try and get in earlier for ROTR. thanks for the input!

Are you saying if you’re not a hotel guest?

Do you need to arrange that with them ahead of time? I think I saw the same advice for Grand Legacy, as well. I've never done it so I'm not sure of the process.

2 apples work. Group 36. Perfect for noon!

Already boarding groups 12-22. If they keep up your going to be called within the hour

 

[montreid]

Yeah. Borderline 2 hour limit. That's what I was targeting. Perfect excuse to leave early!

 

[msteddom]

I cut it way too close this morning! I got through the gate at 7:58. Somehow I still managed to pull BG 19. My best yet! I’m posting from in line, which is moving super quick!

Are you saying if you’re not a hotel guest?

Yes. Tropicana has signs out for Valet for park guests.

We park at Courtyard by Marriott - valet and covered parking @ $29 - they’ve dropped their pricing by a dollar.

I didn’t arrange. If you get there early enough you don’t have to it seems. But you can also use several parking apps to book ahead for a little more. If you are getting to the parks early save a few bucks and just go without booking. If you are doing a late start day maybe book ahead or just deal with Disney parking at that point.

Which parking apps?

Just finished WOC viewing from the terrace in GCH and walked back to room. Nice little perk to enjoy for the $$$ of this place!

Delurking to ask, where in GCH can you do this? Is it for concierge level only? We'll be staying there for first time in 29 days!

Don't get your hopes up, it is not that great of a view of WOC. But there is a WOC viewing platform on the 5th or 6th floor at GCH. I can't recall which. You can ask at the hotel. Pretty easy to find.

 

[Epicnemesis]

Which parking apps?

Spothero is one. But there are others that might be better. This is the first time I’ve done this.

 

[montreid]

Not great view. Off to the side and don't get a good view of the projections. But...it's three minutes from the room and with sore feet and seen woc before.....it's adequate . If you haven't seen it. Get fastpass and watch it properly the first time.

It's 6th floor. Paradise view terrace. Go to the dvc wing on the very south side. Take elevators to 6th floor. Use room key to get in. No concierge needed

 

[montreid]

And you’ve been called to ride.

Lol. Should have counted three apple as initially planned. The crowds spooked us. . Well early departure for last hour!

 

[IsleofDisney]

Interesting to note we were first BG of day and had a ride vehicle all to ourselves as well as the other family in our group. I think they saw the tall dad in the other family and didn't want to stick me & my DD10 behind them. So there is some sympathy among the first order

It figures that today they’re flying through the BGs the one time you’d like them to be dragging.
