The doors open at 6:00 am on Thanksgiving. Drivers start arriving between 6:30 and 7:00. They have donuts and juice. You wait in a gym until around 8:00, when they starting handing out routes, so bring something to do (i.e. book, cards). The sooner you get there, the farther up in line you are, and the sooner you get out. However, arriving later and leaving later might not take any more time. They might be full after 7:00. You can choose a Minneapolis area or St. Paul area route. Less people take the Minneapolis area routes, so you can go through a shorter line. We always take Minneapolis. We usually head out between 8:30 and 9:00 and are done by 10:00. We then drop off a receipt form when done, go out for breakfast, and the rest of the day is ours.
