Can we just talk for a second about how TERRIBLE this video is???? So while I wait for my BG to be called I should take dumb pictures, play on my phone and walk around & look at things?? Did they forget they have rides at DHS? THIS is actually what Disney came up with as a video? What purpose does it even serve

Great movie. Great week. Mando mid-week; Rise of Skywalker tonight -- ROTR next saturday (hopefully). It's a great time for SW fans.

That's it Disney forgot about the rides. What time of the year is this? What kind of crowds do we expect in the next few weeks?
A family comes back to DHS for RotR. They estimate they have about 45 minutes before their BG is called. Maybe they want to board ASAP. JMHO but Disney is offering some ideas which doesn't require waiting 2 hours for SDD or 90 minutes for Toy Story Mania etc. Some less obvious things to do while waiting.

Nah, you're probably right. Disney forgot about their rides.

I apologize I was unable to get back yesterday and report. This thread has been my lifeline. This data is from YESTERDAY (12/19).
Bus at ASMo- 6:13. As I said in a previous post there were so many people that some were left behind. Believe it was the first bus unless I missed one (front of line at 5:49).
Arrived (time??) and went through no bag line. Joined the scrum. Made friends with tall people so they could tell us what was going on towards the front.
Tapped in with no issues about 6:42. Made our way down Hollywood Blvd. Here we were to the left. Was toward the outside. I couldn’t have been in the middle of that crowd.
We were stopped near a blue umbrella.
7:00 app didn’t seem to open. People started cheering around 7:01. My fingers couldn’t move fast enough but DD got in!! We got BG 10! We felt really bad because the people in front of us didn’t trust the Mouse-got there at 4:45- and got BG 40.
(just saw the rocket launch- that was cool to see it in the sky!!)
Made our way to SWGE and were called pretty quickly (7:15??). Loved the ride. Had not looked at any spoilers so it was all a mystery.
Unpopular opinion- DD liked Hagrid’s better but no big deal. She’s entitled to be wrong
We were back at ASMo via Lyft at 8:16.
I couldn’t have asked for a better early morning. We had a very full day and crashed last night!! Glad I only have the party tonight. Need to relax a bit.
Again thanks to everyone providing data points. It was such a help.

Timing your Arrival

A quote from the above linked article:

While crowds over the next few weeks will likely demand that they open by 6:30am, there is the possibility that they open even closer to scheduled park opening, and by extension, the hard open of the Rise of the Resistance boarding group virtual queue. The takeaway here is summed up in a single thought:​

​

The earlier Disney opens the tappoints, the later you can comfortably arrive.​

​

What that means is that if Disney opens up the tappoints 30 minutes prior to the “go live” time for the virtual queue system, you can show up later because the line between you and the tappoints will be shorter as Disney lets people into the park. The worry and huge caveat is that Disney might open the tappoints at 7am, which would essentially create a first come, first served system. We only have two days of data right now, but so far Disney has opened the tappoints 30 minutes before scheduled park open. That’s what we hope for. Either way, arriving 45-60 minutes before scheduled park opening will account for that uncertainty.​

​

Again, it’s worth noting that this advice is for the guest who wants to try and ride before noon. If you’re ok simply riding at some point, you can safely show up at scheduled park open and secure a boarding group for some point during the day.​

I wonder with the upcoming 6:00 a.m. openings and less people feeling the need to arrive extra, extra early because BG now only opening AT posted part opening time if that means they'll probably won't be letting people in until very close to 6?

Whatever happens, early opening hours, longer hours means way more BGs available so I think that'll make a lot of people more relaxed and less stressed.

I get what they are saying but the other parks let people in through the tapstyles before official park opening and then have rope drop inside the park at official opening time. So I would be surprised if they ever totally get away from that here - just might get closer to official park opening depending on crowd size but I don't think they ever get to where they don't open tapstyles until official opening time

What time did you get through tapstiles?

A big thanks to all the posters here that took time outa their personal vacation to post info about ROR and the boarding groups. I was able to use this info to time out my boarding group perfectly. I already have previous reservations for the afternoon and evening hours so I really needed a afternoon group and thanks to all u in here I was able to achieve just that, thanks again. Let me repay with my experience for those in similar situation.

Up at 6:45
Park at HS 6:58
Walked straight through security no bags
Tapstiles at 7:20
Boarding group 84...just perfect

 

[mechteach1]

Yes, a HUGE thank you to everyone who posts this information!! It is so helpful, and such a great contribution to the community. I hope to return the favor/pay it forward this Sunday.

 

[Alynw]

Just to add another note. We left the park immediately after getting our boarding group and was back at hotel at 7:48 and back in bed to get some rest before the busy day. Good luck to all

Almost identical BG as 7:20 yesterday.

Initial BG closed at least 15 mins earlier than yesterday [EDIT: was 30 mins earlier]. I thought perhaps they'd add more from the backups to the initial today but seems unlikely now. Apparently 105 and above are the backups but I'm not sure yet what time they filled up to 105 - looks like around 8am.

Arrived at DHS at 6:58. No bags. Big crowd at gates, but very efficient Cast Members herding us through. Through tapstiles at 7:08. Boarding group 73. Immediately back out gates. At AK now in line for rope drop and FoP. Hoping we aren’t called back for boarding during our 1:40 Be Our Guest lunch.

What time did you get through tapstiles?
