Hi all,
Tried to book Slinky Dog Dash @ 7am sharp this morning for next Friday 3/21. Unfortunately, the earliest time available was after 3 PM when we’ll be park hopping over to Epcot mid to ride GOTG with a LLSP.
We’re staying at Boardwalk so will be walking to DHS early that morning. We’re planning to arrive around 8:15 for the 8:30 early entry. For that arrival time how long do you think we’d be waiting to ride SDD? And/or in order to have less than maybe a 15 minute wait, how early would we need to be at the gate?
Finally, I’ve only done rope drop
for Slinky once and unfortunately the day we went Slinky wasn’t even running at ETPE. I don’t know if there was a technical issue or something else. But we waited in a non-moving line for at least 45 minutes before the ride started running. Is this common? Is there a way to find this out before walking all the way down there if the ride is going to be open? I’ll have two college students with me who aren’t normally early risers so just want to increase the odds that we’re successful in getting on it as it’s one of their top choices.
Many thanks!
