Better to register for DAS on iPhone or laptop?

11:48pm on 4/26/24 by ls2000

I did mine on iPhone with no problem.

Thanks, going to try and do it this weekend

29 min ago by ls2000

I'd do it early at opening. I tried in the evening on a weekday and never got through before they closed.

At Epcot IG. Walked over from BC. We arrived around 7:20 and we were second in line. thru the taps at 7:30. Remy, TT, GOTG, and Soarin. Stacking for HS, headed there when we are done.

Sounds amazing! Have a magical day!

7:50am on 4/26/24 by IMarriedMyEllie

What a machine!

7:56am on 4/26/24 by BarelyFunctioningDisMom

7:53 over the bridge and held in France. We are really touring like crazy today, but the rest of the trip is chill!! ;)

7:58am on 4/26/24 by mmmartin

Wow! Fun and perfect morning! Nice job.

8:49am on 4/26/24 by PoppinsYall

Sounds perfect- hope all the rides behave & operate nicely for you

8:55am on 4/26/24 by hodg

We should arrive at EP at 1, if you are still there. GOTG 1-2 pm.

9:14am on 4/26/24 by snowdiz

We completed our four rides in EP by 10:45. We also had time to sit and eat a quick breakfast and time for potty stops. I have TOT, MMRR, TSM, and MILF, stacked between 12:00 to 1:30 and ILL for Rise. Currently using our VQ for guardians.

10:58am on 4/26/24 by mmmartin

I will definitely tip @Joel! This has been a great morning!! @snow, I should be back at the resort late afternoon. I could pop into EP. I will let you know!

10:59am on 4/26/24 by mmmartin

It looks like early entry was 8:30 am did they open an hour early? If so that's amazing!

11:05am on 4/26/24 by zetafivealpha

Actually @zeta that's pretty common. All the parks let people in as much as 45-60 min before EE. Mostly so you can line up near the ride you want to start with. Some rides even tend to open before the EE time like RotR, FoP, and Remy. On a day when ops...

1:09pm on 4/26/24 by evamarie320

...are running smoothly you can expect to walk OFF those rides at a minute or two after EE starts if you were one of the first on.

1:09pm on 4/26/24 by evamarie320

Yes, my experience was like that yesterday @eva. Definitely helps with people not running too.

1:19pm on 4/26/24 by youcanfly

Yep. We walked OFF when early entry was starting. Update on HS: we completed all G+ rides in 1 hour 45 minutes.

That's amazing! Especially with a big group it can be difficult.

2:11pm on 4/26/24 by youcanfly

I couldn't do this with a group with different ages or with kids. I am traveling with my four sisters. We are 47-57 years old. We were all on board with the plan.

2:38pm on 4/26/24 by mmmartin

Thanks @eva. I didn't realize that. So best guess on if DHS opens that early on Mothers Day?

12 min ago by zetafivealpha

Ahhh! So excited and know you'll get this excitement. :) I was named Secondary Teacher of he Year in my district...and got a day to go to Disney world! (I have an AP and SW points, they aren't paying for the trip, just giving me the time)

AP but have never been to a water park. Considering going to TL this weekend. What do I need to know to make sure it's a pleasant experience.

8:16am on 4/26/24 by cjandres

Warm mini donuts!

8:24am on 4/26/24 by Totsypooh

Look for a chair with shade upon arrival if possible. Lots of chairs with shade available at rope drop depending on your arrival time. Do the family raft ride and tube slides first. Save lazy River and wave pool for midday with more people/crowd

8:39am on 4/26/24 by mamaof2princesses

Yep eother RD or plan to go in for last few hours of a day. Sunscreen/ sun tops on kids/ goggles We like to have water shoes to protect feet-can wear on most slides. I like my locking safe bag for phns but forgot it this trip & we're going to TL now

8:43am on 4/26/24 by hodg

Agree with the donuts and water shoes suggestions. The pavement can get so, so hot.

9:08am on 4/26/24 by JERancher

I just came here to say mini donuts...that is all!

9:21am on 4/26/24 by koolaid

Can we hold flip flops as we go down the slide? Or is it water shoes only?

9:29am on 4/26/24 by heathernoel

@heather- yes, you can hold flip flops when going down slides!

9:53am on 4/26/24 by JERancher

Thanks! I'll have water shoes for the wave pool, but prefer flip flops for walking.

10:15am on 4/26/24 by heathernoel

Probably sounds silly, but what direction should I head at RD for a good shady chair? I'm imagining like a 7DMT rush of people grabbing chairs, and want to at least be going in the right direction and not missing out on them!

7:43pm on 4/26/24 by daisylover78

Hadn't really thought about this until seeing the comment above about a locking bag, but how do people handle cell phones at water parks? Don't bring it, locker, someone stays with stuff? Other things I'm not thinking of like whatever a locking bag is?

8:35pm on 4/26/24 by ChipnDoleWhip

We just leave phones in the locker. If someone's taking a break from slides, they'll grab their phone from the locker on the way back to chair.

8:46pm on 4/26/24 by Andoski

I use a floating waterproof phone bag

Thanks everyone! So helpful! Assuming BYO towels - yes? Are lockers easy rental for the day, open and close as many times as you want?

11:06pm on 4/26/24 by cjandres

If you are staying at a disney hotel they do provide towels. And yes they ar wooden and close until you tell it you're done for the day

11:08pm on 4/26/24 by Totsypooh

Towels can be rented for a couple bucks, or BYO. Rentals are complimentary for those in Disney hotels (since they know you'll just bring hotel towels with you, they save you the trouble).

11:34pm on 4/26/24 by Andoski

I ended up booking horseback riding. It's on our switch day. Does each person get a locker or is it per group? Also, trying to find the info from the other week when Len went. Does anyone know where I might be able to find it? Tyia.

The lockers are first-come, so you could grab two early. I really enjoyed it and would do it again.

4:29pm on 4/26/24 by len (staff)

Thank you @len!

4:57pm on 4/26/24 by jodizzle

It was soo relaxing! I can't wait to do it again. So much fun.

11:33pm on 4/26/24 by nightowl04

Anyone think Rock and Roller Coaster will actually open this summer? Like before September ?

8:53pm on 4/26/24 by caurilio@gmail.com

Bump for response. I'm interested in this one too. Last I saw no leaks on an open date yet :(

10:59pm on 4/26/24 by mswhite

Does any liners really think it will become a queen coaster?

11:11pm on 4/26/24 by moanagirl

Actually met someone who did!! Lol!

11:12pm on 4/26/24 by moanagirl

No, there's to reason to think they would remove theming of a band that peaked in the 90s, only to replace it with a band that peaked in the 80s.

11:32pm on 4/26/24 by Andoski

Want to head to just Disney Outlet on arrival day, no rental car, best transp option for short (1 hr) trip? Thx!

10:08pm on 4/26/24 by jbreen25

I would say just Uber

11:30pm on 4/26/24 by nightowl04

Can anyone verify "B" and "C"? Once you have created your reservation, scan the barcode provided in the app at a Visitor Toll Pass vending machine located on Level 1 in Terminals A and B or on Level 4 in Terminal C.

Defintely a machine at C- just across from Avis/budget. Will be dropping our tag back off later today sadly. Pick up very easy.

12:16pm on 4/26/24 by hodg

Very nice. No more hitting up "A".

12:51pm on 4/26/24 by JackOfAll

Just used in C on April 6!

11:18pm on 4/26/24 by Crazycatlady3

Fun fact while I'm thinking of it. Remember the price increase of the oyster/pearls went up to 30 at Epcot?? Low and behold they are 18.99 at uni! By the lost continents/ Mythos!!

10:40pm on 4/26/24 by moanagirl

Stopped in and got the ugliest hairiest one we could find! Ha =7.5 mm pink tinged pearl! Gorgeous!

10:42pm on 4/26/24 by moanagirl

They are still lower at DS,too.

11:10pm on 4/26/24 by cdlla

No way Hollywood Studios is a six today Slinky dog is already over two hour weight Toy story is an hour wait

10:43am on 4/26/24 by mikem1526

collapse thread

I'm currently in line for Slink and for the 2nd day in a row the ride went "slow" at 10:00am and the wait increased from posted 60 min yesterday to actual 99 yesterday. Posted was 80 when I got in line today

11:23am on 4/26/24 by CrispyLemons (staff)

105 minutes and counting. The EXACT same thing happened yesterday. Slow for an hour and then back up but never reported as "down" because it technically wasn't although they stopped letting new guests in line

11:24am on 4/26/24 by CrispyLemons (staff)

We've collected wait times here all week with multiple testers in the park at the same time. All this to say thank you for your note & @len is aware and is currently spending a small fortune in staffing to figure it out ;)

11:26am on 4/26/24 by CrispyLemons (staff)

Not even worth 80 minutes.

11:30am on 4/26/24 by JackOfAll

Throw some $$ my way and I will spend days on end in the parks testing wait times. lol I can see it now DW: "Honey, how was your day?" Me: "Man, I had to ride SDD 9 times today and Len only gave me a 20 minute break for totchos." :)

11:32am on 4/26/24 by Goose298

@crispy that's got to be frustrating to figure out. Are they running all Slinky dogs or just loading different... so many things factor in but to happen several days in a row seems suspicious and makes no sense as to why unless it's maintenance related?

11:40am on 4/26/24 by youcanfly

@fly good questions! We've been timing and counting everything and Leonard has been mathing. He must be getting somewhere cause he'll text each afternoon with "The calculations of the equations of the denominator blah blah something numbers" Direct quote

11:42am on 4/26/24 by CrispyLemons (staff)

I'd imagine he will talk about it on the Dish at some point. Send me the transcripts when you have the equations, please.

11:43am on 4/26/24 by CrispyLemons (staff)

I'm entering data from this morning now. It looks like Smuggler's Run was running at 100% of capacity even first thing this mornign. Tower was not - maybe 75% of capacity. And Rise was down already.

11:49am on 4/26/24 by len (staff)

@Goose28 - Twenty minutes for a break??? Next you'll be saying children shouldn't work in the factories, when we all know their little hands can grab things stuck in the gears better than adults. C'mon.

11:53am on 4/26/24 by len (staff)

@Len I should know better! Mobile order and get back in line before taking a bite!

11:59am on 4/26/24 by Goose298

Basically the same rules I force on my family during vacations lol

12:04pm on 4/26/24 by Goose298

Omg this thread!

12:18pm on 4/26/24 by TumbleMonkeys

Come on @Goose! Take one for the team. Priorities my friend!

12:20pm on 4/26/24 by popupcamper

@goose, on one trip my momma stopped to take a picture at the tree of life at Rope drop to FOP. I yelled, "no pictures until 11! You should know this by now! " lol, she laughed, finished her picture and walked with purpose to catch up.

12:21pm on 4/26/24 by popupcamper

This is why I'm here. The dedication is above and beyond :)

12:27pm on 4/26/24 by cdlla

@popup I'm going to make "No pictures until 11!" my slogan for our next trip. If we did the shirt thing, that would be a great one! @cdlla like they say, Go big or go home!

12:47pm on 4/26/24 by Goose298

LOL, @popup

12:50pm on 4/26/24 by yetisafari

Wow amazing data gathering!! Thanks for all the hard work!

1:48pm on 4/26/24 by VikeQueen

Echoing @vike to say thank you to the TP staff for all of this research and hard work!

2:02pm on 4/26/24 by JERancher

Omg we need this job. Just not Slinky. I do get the popularity of that ride. Also we too cannot just enjoy WDW...not sure how many times I have to go before that happens but not there yet.

3:58pm on 4/26/24 by gogonzogo

@len we should do a Data Collection Meet Up! But not soft- we try to see how many actuals we can get in an hour at rope drop and anyone who gets at least 3 gets breakfast on you!

4:17pm on 4/26/24 by CrispyLemons (staff)

@CrispyLemons, yes I am all in favor of free labor.^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H being good stewards of the Disney theme park community and enjoying the parks as one!

4:28pm on 4/26/24 by len (staff)

Listen lots of us do solo trips and I'd do free "work" one of those days!!!

4:30pm on 4/26/24 by BlastThatPeterPan

I'd make a solo trip just for this. This sounds fun!

4:41pm on 4/26/24 by popupcamper

I think we should all have these https://www.amazon.com/KTRIO-Handheld-Mechanical-Counters-Clickers/dp/B0CF9BM8M7

That counter has multiple uses too. Says it's also good for knitting.

Absolutely @Crispy. That's the only way to show you mean business!
