I fully intended on getting up at 5:30am for ROTR for both the Monday and Tuesday after the marathon. But my exhaustion after Dopey kicked in and I opted for sleep on Monday. Tuesday was a different story.
The single rider line for Smugglers Run usually isn't too bad. Including when I rode it at Disneyland during opening weekend for The Rise of Skywalker, which was days before Christmas and typically Disneyland is very crowded then. We'll see what FP+ does to single rider lines.
It’s a shame you didn’t try for Monday. I went over to DHS around 8:30 to pick some last souvenirs up and decided on a whim to see if there were any boarding groups left. Got Boarding Group 148, but never thought it’d be called, so I headed on to DATW. I ended up having to leave DATW after our Mary Poppins photo because the BG was about to be called.
My BG was called around 5:30. I got back to SWGE around 6:15 and the check in line was out to the entrance of the land. It ended up being a 3 hour wait to actually make the ride. It went down during the wait and I ended up making it through about an hour after the park closed. Everything about the ride was phenomenally well done. I probably won’t ride it again, as I’m a ride wuss and I knew I was in trouble when the ride cars had seatbelts and they told me to take my hat off. It was too late by then, though...
