whitewillow Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 So, with Friday starting an hour later than usual (10 instead of 9), what time do you plan to start queuing? Will it be the usual time or 1 hour later, since doors open 1 hour later and you can save on sleep? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VikingGrrrl Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 I was planing on sleeping one extra hour, but because of Nathalie I'll be queuing at my usual time-ish. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wjbleming Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Aiming to get there about half 8, but that would depend on the brother being ready. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarioVl Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 I don't need any particularly low VQ number this time, so I'll sleep in a bit and queue at 9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris1970 Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 All depends on if there will be a Thursday pick up of DP's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RomeroSavini Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Wonder if we will have many campers this year! I am being lazy this year. Get off bus at 7am(get on at midnight). So off for a big breakfast somewhere, meat and tasty waffles with lots of coffee. Good to start the day with food. That alone will mean I wont be there till 9 at the earliest, maybe even 10. Friday is autograph day for me. Not one photo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurdamoni Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 I'll be there around 10:30ish I suppose, the queue will be largely in by then. I have no 'big' names to go for on Fridays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris1970 Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 There will be some campers. Mostly VQ hunters. And I will use Friday as an autograph day, as I wont be after so many..just a few except my DP ones. If you only have photos you need not be there before the sun is up. The queues will be long but it is so amazing each time how fast you get in, thanks to those who rush for VQ's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mayhem Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 I think the only VQ I'll be after is Ray Park, so I may arrive around 8:30-9, just to get a decent shot heh. And chat with people heh. Everyone else I'm getting Friday should be non-VQ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveyMorgy Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 I'll probably get there around 7:30ish as usual... like most people it will be an autograph day, hoping to get as many as possible and this year there are quite a few I can get on the Friday :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurdamoni Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 (edited) Saturday I will be there at 7 Edited July 9, 2018 by Kurdamoni Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris1970 Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 I checked my auto list. The only non DP of which I will get autos from on Sat or Sun are .... two. I think I can manage that. No one of them will be VQ I am sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just glad I got a DP for her, my inner voice tells me it will be needed as she is there only on Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know, Conleth Hill was also an open queue at the end of the day last year so I'm hoping it's the same for her. She's only there for one day, and there will be a lot of DP who get to go first, so I wouldn't get my hopes up for an open queue. I want to get autographs on Friday, but it's people who will be there the other days too, and they are not Diamond guests, so I may not need a very low VT. I am trying to gauge when other people will start queuing to see if I should get the extra hour of sleep, or if that will result in me being really far back and not getting a good VT. I usually queue around 8 so if I keep the same system this year I should queue at 9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dogsoldierspoon Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Should check the hours of the bus, but it'll probably arrive around 6ish. So yeah, there's nothing much else to do than queue xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
