READ POST 1 & 2 FIRST-Rise of the Resistance Boarding Group Planning and Information-*No Spoilers*

[secretsquirrel]

Update: Just called my group. In line now and they said it was about an hour wait now.

 

[SweetJulia23]

The first week in Feb (except for 2/1 & 2/2) is still 9am. Sigh! Who knows at this point?

Sayhello

why do they hate us so much?

 

[MomtothreeEs]

What time did you book your boarding group if you don't mind me asking?

I didn’t look at my phone exactly. I realized this later. I was trying to be sneaky because I knew our odds and didn’t want my kids disappointed- they don’t realize we missed a ride that’s a really big deal. I took a pic of my parking spot at 7:04am, so I’m guessing it was around 7:20am.

 

[Miffy]

Took us an hour from tapping in to exit. Y'all.........best.ride.ever!! Good luck to everyone who has yet to ride!!!

So glad you loved it. And I totally agree with you. This is exactly why everyone--me included--is willing to jump through a thousand flaming hoops to get to ride it. I'll be doing it again in May. Can't wait!

RotR BGs right now...

 

[mickey520]

Everyone needs to double check new fastpass openings for the time changes.

Woo! Got 7 people on SDD Tuesday AM! This thread continues to show value!

Oh, and an on-topic comment --- quite the recovery today! Goes to show that flexibility is key. Now, can I remember that once I'm actually in the park?

I think I must be the only person on the planet that hopes it stays 9:00 AM. We are getting off a cruise on Saturday Feb 8 and was hoping that if we can get in the park by 9:30 I might have a fighting chance at a backup BG. If it opens at 7:00 we have no shot.

 

[SouthFayetteFan]

What once looked to be easily the worst BG day on record has actually surpassed Jan 3rd now and isn't even one of the worst 2 days on record.

One day, many years from now, I'll tell my grandkids about the day that RotR recovered from the depths of a 7-hour closure to accommodate 90+ BGs!!!

Just now sitting down after a whirlwind early evening. Managed to fit in RotR between my 3:50 Savi’s reservation and our 5:40 Oga’s reservation. Tapped in at 4:30 and it took just about an hour. It was worth every moment of lost sleep and stress!

 

[Iowamomof4]

Every time I think maybe they're done, it goes up again.

You're not. We're going 2/5 and it's scheduled for 9am as of now. My family is always good to go early, but we're going with another large family and I don't know how they'll be. We're all staying in my rental house in Orlando together so I can't just leave them if they're not ready. Opening at 9am and us planning to be at the gate by 8am is far more doable than an hour earlier, especially since we're all accustomed to central time.

I'm in the crazy line but I'm in line!! I'm so sorry I doubted.
Here's an attempt of posting pics of winter garb.

Yes, @kassonvike, you are alone. They'll be making a Twilight Zone episode about you next week.

Hmmm that argument never worked with my dad.
Me: "You can't just leave me here..."
Dad: "Oh I can...AND I WILL!!!"



I feel like it is INEVITABLE that they are moving those hours to 8am and 7am honestly seems like a reality at this point. They just don't know what to do with these early morning crowds.

 

[bs119]

We up to boarding group 104 now. Wow.

 

[rteetz]

I’m sure they want to push as many through as they can after the big delay.

 

[SouthFayetteFan]

One has to think that their return rate tonight is lower than normal (i.e. not everybody hung around this late) which is in some ways inflating the number of BGs they're calling back. On the other hand, who cares - for those who hung around, this is awesome!!!

 

[NoTime42]

why do they hate us so much?

But have they been updating hours much more than 10 days in advance?
(I went on Jan 5, hours were updated to 7a 10 days before then)

We have a 8am ADR two days that first week of February. Really hoping park opening stays at 9am.

 

[Crazed4DisneyinSC]

Not sure if someone else already mentioned it, but hours for next week are now 7am.

YAY for extended hours!! Best news I've heard all day, besides hearing that RotR wasn't a total failure today of course, lol
