But it’s a lottery where the people who were in the waiting room are supposed to be in line before the people who entered after 11.

See that is what I was told is not true. Those who enter before 11 am are not necessarily guaranteed a spot earlier than those at 11am or after.

When they say random, it means it could be any random spot…not necessarily all spots match number of people who enter before hand.

It would certainly explain when someone entering after 11 am can be ahead because they fill the spots left empty when people were randomly assigned.

Congratulations - which locations were remaining to chose from?

Oh my gosh, I didnt even notice. There were three but HWS was on top which is what I wanted so I didnt even look at the others.

Maybe they are trying to get us to stop hopping on early...
I definitely have to rethink MY strategy - was hoping for HS... :-(

I think many people made assumptions about getting into the queue. You're right, there are reports of people getting in after 11 and getting a MM spot. All the site says is registration starts at 11AM. It's totally luck of the draw

I’m still at more than an hour wait even though HS closed that had to have removed a bunch of people from the queue right? Le sigh I never do have luck with these things. Hopefully fewer people are waiting for DCA and I still have a small chance lol

I have to think the DCA folks in the queue are a very different group from the WDW folks. Good luck!

I just wonder (although not surprised) why they are not upfront with their strategy of lottery system

I am also waiting on DCA. I am down to 7 minutes. I feel like there should be a lot more general registration available for DCA since it has always been a much "locals" event. Even with 2 DVC properties now.

I am also waiting DCA. Seems that is advancing

Plus, VDH is maybe half declared and there are a ton of non-members in cash rooms there.

But, how they can distinguish of what park you are waiting

They can't.

they cannot.

I got in. I was sweating it. Registered for AK.

 

[Missyrose]

I got AK! Hoping others got what they wanted!

 

[maurobecerra]

I have this message: Winter Season General Registration has officially closed for: Jan. 26 event date at Disney's Hollywood Studios Limited availability remains for: Feb. 12 event date at Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park Feb. 3 event date at Disney California Adventure Park
It seems that my queue hasn’t stopped

 

[Bruno33]

We got DCA! Excited as this will be the first time we use our membership in any capacity! Good luck to those still trying, hope to see you there.

It probably helps they just had 3 AK events (Oct, Nov & Dec), which probably waned interest.

 

[DonMacGregor]

In at DCA.
