Just thought I would share my experience. I hope this is an okay place to start this topic, as I am interested in hearing other people's experience today.
I got to TRU at 6:30 pm. First and only one there, until about 7:15. Then about three more people joined. Then right after that, my friends arrived. We laid out blankets, and pillows and gossiped for a few hours. By 8, the line was about 100 deep. By 9, double the size, by 10 quadruple the amount then there was at 9!! About 30 minutes before they opened, some very intoxicated guy tried to convince us to let him and his friends "cut" as they were at the end. We refused and tried ignoring him and he then started talking about needing a dollhouse for his friends kid. More drama ensued, ended with him calling us a few choice words and saying we didn't deserve to be at the front of the line and then his friend coming up and adding a few more words. We ignored her and at 12:03, the doors opened and we grabbed S'mores, all the zhu zhu accessories and each of my babies has a zhu zhu ready to be wrapped and put under the tree. In and out in less than 30 minutes. As we left, we saw the "friendly" couple still waiting to get inside. All in all, successful night...even with the crazies! Oh and as an added bonus, my friend took a picture of me holding the zhu zhu ticket with a beautiful handwritten number ONE written on it. Then, we took another of all of us holding up our zhu zhu tickets numbers 1 thru 5!! Great time!! (And yes, we are geeks!)
