Hoping my group 106 doesn’t get called till after 2:30/3pm.

In all honesty we are near the point of where its not that needed anymore. The chart can stay linked to the first page to show the data we have collected but overall any additional data in the chart doesn't help us much. We also have outside sources that if needed can help us even further.

And just to add, people will continue to post their experiences here, all you need to do is read and you can fill a chart of your own with reports here and by looking at the app.
In simple terms all you really need to do is:
Be at the park before park opening
Make sure you have a good connection, be it with WiFi or Data
Open the app at opening time and join a BG

Here's my optimistic thought of the day

1/22
RoTR suffered a terrible setback, not starting until 2:10 pm.
From that point until closing, 94 groups were called.
Assuming all got in, that makes a BG/hr rate of 15.67

I wouldn't be able to be so optimistic without "The Chart"

Woke up at 5:30 today and headed to the bus stop at about 5:55. 4 buses showed up at 6:10. Through security and waiting to tap in by 6:28. Using iPads to enter took a while but we got through and camped out by the stroller rental around 6:45. All three of us had our phones ready to go but I got in first with BG 38. Waited almost 20 min for a bus back to Pop. We are now using our rest day to wait to get called back.

Awesome! Question - can multiple people try to get boarding groups for your party simultaneously, and then you stick with whoever gets in first? If so, does each person have to have their own MyDisneyExperience login, or, say, could I set my son’s phone up logged in as me, and he and I could both try on our phones under my login?

I wanted to mention to those going solo or party of two. They did ask at one point in the experience (being vague on purpose) for parties of 1 or 2. I was able to jump ahead a bunch. Keep your ears open.

Also, unlike some attractions, being a single does not automatically put you into a bad seat.

Well isn’t that a reversal of that last couple of days

(1) Yes, multiple people can try to get BG for your party simultaneously as long as all the members of the party are in the park and on that person's MDE.
(2) There's no "sticking with," since as soon as one member of the party gets everyone the BG, the others are blocked from getting a BG and told they're already in one.
(3) Each person can have their own MDE login or everyone or some of everyone could be on the same account.
(4) Just remember, that whoever has your account info can also change everything else you've set up.

I agree with you there!

That said, @CastAStone offered to take it so I’m handing it off to him and whatever comes of it is fine. I probably need to go back to focusing on my job when I come back from Disney

Thrill Data has some great info and anytime we missed a number I used that and/or twitter to figure out the gaps. So that could replace the chart for those who want to see info. They aren’t always 100% right from what I can see though.

I've been reading these in anticipation of our upcoming trip. I've seen conflicting comments on this - do I open the app at 7 am, and then quickly go through the process? Or can it be open already, and hit "find out more" right as clock turns to 7 am?

people have done either one. From home I open the app and at 7am I click find out more. When I was there I opened the app at opening time and joined

The Chart has buried 7 horcruxes around Disboards. I apparently am the second.

To me the one interesting thing is long-term improvement in BG/hr. If you can get Thrill Data to show you that in a chart or graph, I haven't figured out how.

We're visiting in April when opening is at 9:00 AM I was hoping this chart would be around so I can monitor BG performance overall, once opening changes from 7:00 AM to later Thoughts ?

I suppose but to me as a guest planning I don't need that. I love looking at the data as a fan of course just in terms of planning the chart is becoming more useless by the day.

BGs may not be in use in April. We don’t know yet of course but just following along in these threads will help. The best info for you would be the weeks and days leading up to your trip. Performance right now likely means nothing to what will be happening in April.

Do you know if there’s another place selling coffee with a shorter line? Maybe a place that doesn’t make all of the fancy latte drinks - just basic coffee...

You can buy a cup of regular coffee at an Ice Cream stand near the Beverly Sunset theater. It was a hidden treasure when we were there last Friday!

This is the quietest time of year for WDW. I would be more interested in how it starts to function once all the northern vacations fire up in February and the parks are ankle to ankle.

Following this thread every day in prep for our trip Feb. 4. Wish they'd change it to 7am, just have to be patient I guess. Math question, if there are 100 people in a boarding group and they give out 100 boarding groups by 7:01am, does that mean there are already 10,000 people in the park (100 times 100)? That sounds like a lot more people than the pictures I have seen, lol.
