Tips:
1. Go during the week. Weekends are busier.
2. Go earlier in the day. If you can get there between 10am - 12pm, that will be your best bet.
3. Go to Gideon's first thing when you arrive at DS. If the virtual queue hasn't started, then just get in the regular line. If the virtual queue has started, go to the Gideon's employee managing that and get put in the queue. You will need to give them your cell number and they will text you.
4. If you have been put into the virtual queue, go walk around DS and explore all it has to offer while you wait for their text message that your time has arrived.
5. Watch Gideon's social media pages for special releases and updates. If there is a special release on the day you are there, the line will be even longer and you will definitely want to make sure you get there earlier rather than later.
6. Look at their menu ahead of time and know what you want when you get to the register, well at least for the most part. You may have questions for them, and they are happy to answer them. But knowing what you want ahead of time helps keep the line moving for everyone else.
7. Here was our plan the first time we went, since we are out-of-state: We planned to get one of all of the cookies. We brought ziploc freezer bags with us to take them home and freeze them, as we knew we wouldn't be able to eat all of them during our trip. If you plan to do this, I recommend taking them out of their paper wrapper and putting them directly into the ziploc bag when you get back to your room. They kept better that way for us. The ones we left in their wrapper dried out faster.
Enjoy the sugar rush!!!
