I just saw that Volcano Bay is having night events. We’ve never gone to VB, but this seemed really cool! From 7-10 on select nights.

I was waiting to hear about when tickets would go on sale, but it looks like they already did! I am planning to attend the May 17th event so if someone attends one of the earlier dates, I would love to hear how it goes!
Whoops, my bad! I was really excited to post it, lol.

No worries! I hope I didn’t come across as rude.
I’m so sad I’m not going to these!!
If UOR would just give ANY details about when / how Epic is going to be a part of Annual Passes I would renew / buy a new AP…
I wonder how the TapuTapu works with evenings? I know when we leave we always have a ride reservation that isn’t ready to ride yet. I bet that is pretty normal. Seems like the Kraka-whatever ride would be likeliest to have that happen since the wait can get so long for it. Seems like they want to start clearing the reservations at some point.
When we turn in our tapu they just went in a giant bin. I guess they might have a way of clearing those.

This is actually a factor in why that line can get long. The TapuTapu doesn’t reset until the system resets that night. So, if someone got a reservation and then loses the wristband or leaves before using a reservation they still have a place in the queue. It’s not a massive percentage, but it does take up a chunk of reservations for the day.
Personally, I wish there was a 60 minute time limit after you get called back before the reservation is cancelled. I’ve waited 2 hours for slides only to walk on the attraction with no one in line when I arrived. It was this situation that led me to go ask Guest Services why that happens and this was the answer. (This along with people just not going back to the attraction until late in the day even though they got notified hours ago they could ride)
Do we know for sure if the Nighttime event will use Tapu Tapu? I guess I assumed since it’s a limited event, perhaps it wouldn’t be used, bit I’m probably just relating it to a Disney After Hours event.
By the way, I purchased my tickets today for the May 17th event!! Woo Hoo!

Nothing has been mentioned about TapuTapu. I would also presume it won’t be in use that evening

No, not at all! I’m hoping to read some of the trip reports! Maybe, if they go well, they’ll add more nights.
