If park reservations go…

If you want to go on a wild ride, re-read this thread with the history of the opening of Rise of the Resistance. It was insane, and I think a lot of us have probably forgotten the details. Updating this thread used to be my second full-time job. :rofl:

This is the timeline as best as I can ascertain from this and other articles I just searched through, but someone can fact check me:

It started out where you had to arrive at the park before opening and be through the tapstiles before you could get a BG. (I used to tell people to show up between 5-5:30am for a 6am opening. :flushed:) But then as @ThorKat noted, in January 2020 they instituted 7am, 10am, and 2pm drop times for VQ. The 7am could be acquired from home, but the 10am and 2pm drop times had to be acquired from inside HS.

Then Covid hit and when they reopened on July 15th, the drop times were 10am, 1pm (to avoid drawing guests at 2pm hopping time), and 4pm. But then they very quickly dropped the 4pm time and moved the 1pm drop back to 2pm (as of July 24, 2020), leaving 10am and 2pm drops, both of which you had to be in the park for.

I’ve lost track of what happened when after that and I’m too lazy to keep researching. :rofl:
