    Signs up at the distribution points informing you of the new process. The guide maps do not note this.
    Because of the low crowds and quick return times you could stack up on some attractions. For example I picked up a Buzz lightyear at 3:12pm good for 3:15. At 3:15pm I picked up a Star Tours for 3:20pm. So in theory I could have ridden them back to back with no waits at all (standby was 20 & 30). I opted to go see the College Band instead.
