I think they are closing the line early in anticipation of it taking another 1-2 hours to clear the queue.
I saw at least one report on chat of someone with a Tron BG, showing up late for their time slot, and being denied entry. Their BG was called at 1, she showed up at 3 (so one hour late to window). I donât know if itâs just one CM playing hardball, or if theyâre all doing it because this is a soft opening/new ride/new way of being. She went to several CMs and got the same answer.
Be on time for Tron BG!!
If this holds true as we go then Hokey Pokey will not work if your group is called before the hop and BG1 would be a bad choice for many people
DD22 mentioned she saw lots of comments on social media as well.
This will really suck for me because weâve only been on time a few times. And sometimes our BG is called before we even have access to the park!
Hopefully this will change and run like it does for GotG because guests have NO control over the boarding time they are assigned, but they do have some control over ADRs, that they usually cannot alter to accommodate a random BG assignment. Since they force everyone to grab a random BG at 7 am I would hope they remember about other factors that might prevent someone from arriving âon timeâ
My guess is the opening day newness of it all. Give it a few months, and I imagine things will relax.
I think if Disney wants to enforce this park reservationâŚwhich in some ways is a good idea, but in others no so muchâŚthey should consider modifying the VQ reservation window from 1 hour to perhaps 2 hours. Doing so shouldnât impact overall wait times for the most part, since on average, the same people will still be arriving ârandomlyâ within that 2 hour window, but it does give more flexibility in case of ADRs, etc. For some reason, though, Disney didnât ask me.
Yes this. For something you canât control what time you get they have to give some extra cushion
The caveat here is that the ADR will accommodate you if youâre late for riding
No one will really know if they will enforce the return time until after the soft opening, will we?
Any mention of a restroom in the queue like Rise and FoP?
There is a Restroom accessible from Tron Queue. Itâs in the outdoor part.
Does anyone know if they were enforcing for guardians? Assuming you can still come anytime after BG called for that one.
Definitely not enforcing for Guardians.
No. I was 8 hours late on opening day
But it didnât have a soft open. Could be they are being more strict because this is still just practice for the CMâs
Glad to hear they havenât changed for guardians. Not planning on getting there until the evening tomorrow
I went back to the Twitter thread about this ride, they did not mention the restrooms.
However they did visit the new Energy Bytes, snack stand.
It isnât in the queue but there are restrooms just outside the exit.
We visited the restrooms (but I didnât take photos) since my future DIL had heard so much about the themed restrooms (maybe Tim Tracker?).
