Just trying to figure out if I need to get online at 1:00 AM or can wait 5 or 6 hours and still be able to get some.
Thanks!

We just did this a couple of weeks ago for a date in June. We got online at exactly the time tickets were released and there was lots of availability and we got the time we wanted. Two hours later, we checked again to see what was left and it was sparse but still possible. Later that day there were just evening times left. So I would say if you’re very particular about date and time, get online as close to the release that you can. If you’re more flexible, you might be ok waiting a couple hours.

Set your alarm. That's the only way. Just bought them for last month at the appointed hour. By morning (our time) it was pretty much sold out except for a few random times, late in the evening.

agree logged on 10:00 each time slot in daytime within one minute "not available" and did settle for early evening for the date we wanted.

End of February I got up at 3:45 to get tickets for our April visit. I got them and checked back two hours later and the time slots for the morning I wanted were unavailable. I wanted the introductory program plus the museum so it was worth getting up at 3:45.

If you're going this summer and have limited dates, it's pretty much what you have to do. You might also try the evening before you go to bed, in 2022 I got lucky and scored tickets then and didn't have to get up early. But that could have been a fluke.

Up at 1 am two weeks ago to buy tickets. The tickets that included a 30 minute intro were almost sold out within 15 minutes. Many of the morning time slots were immediately unavailable. The tickets without the intro were more available. Don't know how long those were available though.

Thank you for this timely post, which convinced me I had to set an alarm last night.
Even with being up at 2am to refresh, I still couldn't get my preferred 11am slot with the 30 minute intro, and ended up at 3:45pm. I definitely would have been totally out of luck had I stuck with my original plan of just doing before the gym at 3.5 hours later.
Cheers,
