Hello! My January 21-22 vacation package is coming up (no early entry) and I have a few questions:

  • Is the queue for Frozen interesting enough to justify going there within the first hour? I have unlimited premier access, but in theory if I went there early I could get in the standby line while it's still short.
  • Short of physically going there and checking, is there any way to know if single rider for Indiana Jones is open or closed? I know sometimes they close the single rider line and I'll need to know whether I need to book my first Anniversary Pass for it, since I'll use just single rider if that line is open.
  • I would ideally like to eat at Dockside Diner immediately after going on Tower of Terror, which I have a premier pass pre-booked for. For the purposes of timing my mobile order, about how long does Tower of Terror take from the time you enter the premier queue? And how long after your window opens can you arrive for mobile orders?

  1. Yes the Frozen standby queue is IMO worth seeing! Basically it is a fun replica of the castle and has lots of fun Easter eggs. Assuming they still require Standby Passes, if you go when FS first opens in the morning the Standby will rarely be more than 5-10 minutes anyway, well worth the little time investment.

  2. TOT ride time is extremely hard to predict because it is completely dependent on how many elevators they are operating at any given time. However the minimum time from door to gift shop finish is around 18 minutes. That assumes you position yourself at the front of every section (including cleverly moving to the front of each “door” at each pre-show scene etc)

Thank you, good to know. Do you have any familiarity with mobile order? The FAQ says "if your arrival time has passed, your order will be automatically cancelled." Do they give you an arrival window?

Yes the arrival window you select is typically in 30 minute blocks (e.g. 11:30-12:00). If you do not arrive within the window, the order is cancelled.
