wow! I am proud for you. I dream of getting a BG 5.
I think it's better than a highish number where you start worrying where you'll be later, esp if you have ADRs.I was surprised, sort of didn't know it was possible to get so low (for some reason I assumed those were reserved for vips or something). However, I feel it sort of wasn't a great thing! We felt pressure to rush over there after Slinky instead of either taking our time or heading to another ride that may have had a lower wait earlier in the day such as Mickey's Railway.
But if you think BG 5 is good, wait until the next HS day ☺
Thanks for your recap! I'm going in August with a group of 8. I've done large groups several times in the past, but have never done it in the summer, so I'm interested in your perspective.
Enjoying your TR! You're brave to be the leader of a group of 9. Sounds like things went smoothly for the most part. DH and I were there this past March and never rode Slinky. We will make that a priority next time. Great job on BG 5! I agree it's harder to plan around a high number - we couldn't snag one until 1 pm so I was too nervous to leave the park. I'll be watching for more updates!
I'm bringing some UV umbrellas for instant-shade, some personal fans, etc... anything to help w/the FL heat/humidity.The summer definitely bogged us down. The humidity got to us all. And the sun beat us hard at times. Sometimes it felt like there was absolutely no shade no matter where you looked. We had lots of water and always refilled when possible. But I would personally prefer the Spring or Fall months for better weather. It took a toll! What was nice when the few times it rained, it did cool things off for a while after that. Also once the sun starts to go down, its a very comfortable temperature too.

I just want to say that your crew is full of serious troopers!! I can't make it a whole day in the parks without a mid-afternoon break. You are out there in the summer heat, making the absolute most of every day! And then you wake up early the next day? I am in awe!
Us too! We were originally planning for March 24-31. Ended up Nov 3-10.originally planned for March 2020
AMEN!!Went to Pirates which is a big hit with my family, although it's so much better in Disneyland
Ohhhhmerrgerrrrd so good! JNCLSC may have been one of my favorites of the whole trip... even if we were seated by the restrooms, for like, the 6th time.Pao de Queijo
Ok, maybe RR is my fave...If we arrive early enough our first choice even when we are a large group is Raglan Road at DS. You can't beat their fish & chips with a flight of International beers.
Boarding Group 5 for Rise of the Resistance!
As you have every reason to be!!Very excited for this. I don't think the group of 9 understood how proud I was of that.
Since we were there in November, we didn't get to really experience this whole ride, so I was just meh about it.(RE: ROTR) Though strangely, it wasn't anyone's "favorite" at the end of the trip.
Ok, maybe THIS restaurant was my fave.Let's talk about Sci Fi Drive In Theater!
What is this sorcery and how do I access it?? I'm trying for BB reservations in DLR for September!!Woke up one morning at 5am and saw a phone notification from a reservation finder for it.
Your trip reports are fantastic!
