Oh, Magic Kingdom with your 7:30 am Early Entry. I haven't been up this early at Disney since we had to be inside HS to get a virtual queue for Rise of the Resistance!
One of the many reasons we love CBR is the Skyliner and not having to take a bus. Not battling buses every day, makes it easier when you have to! Before we went to bed, we have the park bag on the table, sunglasses, magic bands, breakfast bars, phone charger, etc. We basically look at it, and put in the bag. Why not actually pack it? Fewer questions as to where something is, we can see it going in the bag!
We are up, almost ready, it is about 6:25 am. The
MDE app says the bus will arrive at the Jamaica stop at 6:35.
Holy cow, you've never seen 3 people move so fast! We hustle across the parking lot, there is a bus that has pulled in, but is just sitting there. My son makes a quick beeline for the bus stop. We make it! The bus also waited another minute or 2 and few more people arrived. We stop at Aruba, the bus is now full. Off we go.
My hubby and I are discussing Tron, 7Dwarfs and Space Mountain. We "think" we will be at the MK gate before 7, but if not, we agree, we will stop walking for the 7:00 am VQ drop.
Off the bus and in line at MK. LOTS of people lined up, but it is pretty calm. It is about 6:55am. My son gets out his phone for the official countdown, my husband and I are in the MDE app and on the VQ screen, party members are preselected. I look around, it is a sea of people staring at their phones. My son quietly counts down, we press the mandatory refresh, both my hubby and I see the button for VQ and..... he beats me to it! We get a boarding group! I will say this was calmer than the Rise VQ years ago. At HS, you would hear people cheering and other people groaning because they didn't get a boarding group. Not sure how my hubby does it, but he always manages to get a boarding group.
Now more waiting. About 7:15 they open the tap styles. We were way over to the left, which is super helpful. if they open more tap lanes, it will be over to the left, so you can often get through faster.
Once again, I successfully get through security without the metal detector going off!
