One of my former students is a CM and he got to ride today; I’m so jealous!
DD had her cast preview day before yesterday as well. She isn't a crazy ride person, and loved the MF ride.

View attachment 399455 Saw on Twitter, DLR may allow camping out in line the first night. UGH!
I just saw a follow up to this on Twitter that indicates that Disneyland will not allow overnight lineups. It is in the same thread posted above. The person that commented stated that he called Disney (1-888-834-9125) and they told him they will not allow overnight lineups and confirmed that they will allow the 6 am entry into the esplanade for those with 8 am reservations through out the reservation period.
I hope this is true! It seems completely strange that overnight lineups would be allowed. It negates the whole reservation system/process.
What would be the point of lining up on Harbor? Most of the 8am are hotel guests, who would use the GCH-DTD checkpoint or the one closest to DLH.I wonder, though, can they stop people from lining up on Harbor?
There are always going to be people who want to be "first."
I’ve been told by hotel, reservation, and other cast members that “hotel guests can enjoy their rooms” and will not be camping out. Hope it’s true, otherwise it is a huge waste of money.
Although many hotel guests have the 8am slot on opening day...there are plenty of people out there who got opening day/morning slots who aren’t staying at a hotel. So maybe those people are the ones thinking about camping.I am past the age where I camp out for things. I don’t care what it is. I also just don’t get why anyone would camp out when they have a reservation and Disney isn’t allowing a standby line. Being first in the park or first to ride smugglers run isn’t worth an uncomfortable sleepless night. No thank you.
Sounds like a complicated ride for young kids, older folks, and people who generally don't play video games. Not sure how this is going to go over with the masses.

Even if I had a opening day reservation, I would not camp. The last time I camped out for something was for the final Harry Potter movie in high school. I don’t have the patience for energy for that anymore lol.

Why are you saying most of the 8am are hotel guests? When I got in the reservation system after 35 mins there were still ALL time slots including 8am available. Those did not go faster than other times on the opening weekend.What would be the point of lining up on Harbor? Most of the 8am are hotel guests, who would use the GCH-DTD checkpoint or the one closest to DLH.

I think they’re saying this because almost everyone with a 1 night stay on property got the 8-12 time slot. So at least for the first few days when lots of people only booked 1 night, a lot of the reservation slots went to hotel guests. Of course it’s hard to say definitively if they’re really the majority, when we don’t know how many reservation slots there are.Why are you saying most of the 8am are hotel guests?

Is there a reason people would need to camp out with the reservations in place? Just how many reservations did they give out??
I was just wondering the same thing. I don't get it at all.
