This impacts my HS day for our weekend trip in February. My fast pass time for SDD isn’t great. Will they open more fast passes for the early hour?

Edit:
They haven’t dropped. Time for patience!

Yes definitely slog through it. Watch some sort of season recap if you need to for the first couple seasons.

The animation and the story lines in the latter seasons are breathtaking and heartbreaking.

Just skip the episodes with Padme

Join the masses of us constantly refreshing! We weren't able to get a SDD FP at all so hoping to snag one!

Try now. They dropped the 8am hour FPs overnight.

Been refreshing since 4am when I noticed TSM and RNRC FPs got added still nothing for SDD or anything else though

Yeah, we were only 63 days out from our DHS day when my booking opened and all SDD were gone by then

So I was hoping for the time change to give us a second shot - now just need the FPs to load!

good luck!

we are just staying 2 nights so I’m thankful to have SDD but really don’t want to be in HS until 2pm that day. We have festival of the arts to also cover

Epic Universe’s How to Train Your Dragon coaster concept ride through video. Seems to be a step up from what I was expecting, although not all that long.

Just an FYI to anyone not in the deep waters of the Rise of the Resistance Boarding Group tracking thread but with a trip coming up, the return time after your Boarding Group is called has been changed from 2 hours to only 1 hour - this will impact plans if people were going to park hop or return to hotel to rest, etc

BG 10 has been called!! And it is only giving me an hour to get there

Edit:. Apparently the time can vary from 1 to 2 hours - you will be notified of your return window when your BG is called

Straight from the HUB:
UPDATE: Guests will be given a specific window of time of either one or two hours to return through the My Disney Experience app.

So now it looks like it could be either one

Thats ridiculous even if you’re in the park. With dining reservations, FPs, showtimes, Jedi training, etc, 1 hr could be tough to get back by.

Are the CM's going to honor/respect lateness due to ADR's, etc.?

So we have seen in the past that if there is a conflict to talk to the CMs at that area with a conflict or the GET folks about adjusting one or the other so things can work. They have been quite flexible and WANT it to work out for you

I think this change will really increase the number of people that need to have things adjusted though so will tie up CMs with groups trying to adjust things

Agreed. But now I see a queue building up for the CM's to accommodate guest's changes. What's next.....a BG to talk to a CM about changing your plans?

Hopefully this is just a trial. Going soon and we definitely were considering we might need to use the full 2 hours if we are at Epcot in the evening.
