RotR Disneyland Edition!

I got to ride at about 10pm?!!! And I was BG125!! So so crazy yet so so so much fun!! Esplande and security were open 24hrs. I got there about 4 am ( I may be crazy but not that nutso to stand in the rain at midnight like some did.) Awesome to see monorail maintenance driver pass by with his lightsaber. Crowd went nuts. They started to let us in early and kept everyone at rope right at the Hub. At sunrise they let the crowds go to the regular RD areas and a RD area on each side of Astro Obitor. ( this is for the paper BG passes. The Buzz Lightyear FP machines are being used as are the Splash mountain machines ) I went right side AO because it seemed closer to the FP machines. I made the mistake of going here for a paper pass for my collection. Rope was dropped and madness erupted. Not only a was there a bit of pushing,shoving,yelling but someone fell because the ground was sti wet from the rain. Another line up at the machines and when it was time to go it was even crazier! One of the machines ate a couple passes and people panicked banging on the machine. I was denied with a Not so fast! Message on my ticket even though I was 3rd in line for a machine!!! I panicked, stepped aside logged on and got a BG of 125. I was bummed but went in knowing I might not get one and knowing I’ll be back in 7 days for 7 days. I would be riding. I did want an explanation on why I was denied but then later I could join. I went to GS and was told my AP was not scanned in when I came in and that was why I was given the Not so fast! Pass. I dont buy yhat because if I wasn’t scanned in how could I join online??? I wasnt going to let it ruin my day. Although seeing couples fight,people of all ages crying and a Dad yelling at his kids because they weren’t fast enough to the pass machine did bum me out. I went about my day and enjoyed Lunar New Year stuff ,got my picture with the Three Little Pigs and watched the BG numbers climb. Was actually back in my room when it climbed to 100 and decided I better head back in! It got to 114 online but in the actually line they called it at 115. Bryan ( btw) and I hung out at the RotR entrance waiting as numbers climbed. He made friends with other 115ers as I sat and talked with 2 sisters and a trio of friends celebrating a birthday. They were 117ers. 115 was called. When the CM said 115 was it The guy next to us said he was told they would cap the line at 119 he was 117 and him and his group better get to ride. The main CM came over talked to the guy and let them in. He came over to our group and asked our BG numbers. Everyone 117 but me. I said I’m 125 and looked sad. He winked and said head on in!!! We all freaked out, cheered,high fived and headed on in it was a super long day. Not really clear on the exact time but I did earn my play Disney parks RotR pin at 10:11pm!!
