I learned something new today during my practice. Yesterday I needed to delete the app and re install it. Today I had a new screen explaining the virtual Q. That 1 extra click meant I got the red notice saying all b g's were gone. I just wanted to share in case you install the app at the world so you aren't surprised by that screen. It seemed to be a one time only thing, so check after any new installs to get rid of it.
 
Please forgive my questions. I'm a DL vet who HAS done ROTR there a few times, but the WDW app is just the tiniest bit different than it was at DL back in February so I want to make sure mine looks like everyone else's.

The DL app used to have the ROTR page or screen right after opening the app.

For me, in the WDW app, I actually have to scroll down to find it. Is this normal/what everyone else is also experiencing? It's running version 6.5 Build 20200924.3.

The rest of looks familiar/similar to what I remember but I just want to make sure it shouldn't be loading the ROTR screen near the top.

Thank you!

It is a bit farther down on the main page, or you can do like I prefer to do and click the 3 lines in the bottom right corner, then choose virtual queues.

OK thanks very much! Just wanted to make sure mine was working/looking like everyone else's!
 

So I just tried to play along from home... did anyone get into the 2pm group? Mine had a red message across the bottom....

Also...

I have been unable to remove three people from my "Friends and Family" list (using the website)... each time I do it it says "Fuuumble." This has been a couple weeks now. THose same friends and family showed up in my "create a party" just now, and I know that will slow us down when the time comes for real. Any tips for getting those other names off of it?

Have you tried removing them on the app? I've had more success removing names on the app, compared to the website. Otherwise, you could phone tech support to get the names removed.

I did just now and same message. I am going to try the chat and see if it helps. If not, I will call.

So weird! You'd think removing a name would be one of the easier technological feats out there...

Thank you!

We are going to DHS tomorrow. We are planning on stopping at OKW early in the morning to leave our luggage with the bell stand. We are then planning on driving to DHS to try and get in the park as quickly as possible. I arriving at 9:00am via car still our best bet, or should we arrive earlier?

if you arrive earlier they will make you drive around, you can't just wait at the toll plaza. Earliest to arrive I would say maybe 8:55am
 
We are going to HS in November, there will be four of us in our party and if we all wanted to try getting a BG for ROTR using our phones, should we use the same login account in each of our Disney app/phones? or should each of us have individual login account for the app with all party member linked?

I had the same issue as one of the five original people in our party decided last-minute not to come and we couldn't get her off of showing up on the party list on the ROTR BG page--even though we'd called to individually remove her from every dining reservation, parkpass/res, park ticket, and the resort. I called and was told it's because of the MagicBands! She was still actively linked to her band (and had previously been in our group w/ all our bands linked together) so would continue to show up there. The Castmember was reluctant to kill her MagicBand connection but I kept repeating that we couldn't have her name showing up on the ROTR list or we'd never get a BP--so she finally removed her. When we practiced the next day, she was finally gone, and was also not listed there on the day we were in the park--the other 4 ppl in our group were all preselected so we were all set. I'm so glad I called and insisted she be removed or we wouldn't have gotten on the ride! The next time we go to Disney we assume this 5th person will be back with us so the CM said we'll have to call back to have her re-added and will have to order her a new MagicBand--worth it to me to get that BP! : )
 
I will experience this first hand tomorrow, but I am curious - what kind of reactions (celebratory or disappointed) are people seeing in those few seconds after 10am and 2pm when people are either successful or unsuccessful at getting a boarding group? Any good stories out there?

I waited on hold with Disney IT and gave up... chat in the website is not available... and chat in the app says "send a message and we will get to you" but the "send" button is grayed out... so I will try again in a few days and hope for better luck.

The "friends and family" don't even have MB's or anything.. I think I had added them when I created an account a couple of years ago when I was tentatively planning a trip that never happened.

Even the FAQ's on the website tell you how to remove people... it just so happens that it doesn't actually WORK!:badpc:

I posted a version of this earlier in the week in this thread, but since you asked... : ) We arrived @ HS around 9:20am & after a quick & painless temp screening, bag-check, & MagicBand tap, we immediately headed to MMRR & got in line. They started boarding for the ride @ 9:30. Of course, we boarded the ride (which is 4 mins & 30 secs long BTW) @ 9:56 so we were on the ride (toward the end during a particularly bumpy part lol) when the clock turned 10:00--but we had all been researching & practicing like crazy for days and managed to get BG 7! The family in the car behind us also got one, not sure what group. Our two cars all went bananas for the last 1-2 mins of the ride, "illegally" half-standing up and high-fiving/fist whomping the air/yelling at the tops of our lungs, etc, I don't even remember the end of the ride! 🤪Got off the ride @ 10:02, went over to GE, our BG was called, & we basically walked on ROTR. Went on MFSR right afterward, wait for that was bout 30 mins. Couldn't believe we were on & off these 3 rides by 11am.

Is this still an issue now that is automatically checks the box for those in your party that are scanned into the park? My daughters best friends family is traveling at the same time as us next week, and I was going to link up for photopass, but they aren’t going to HS...I will wait until after our HS day to link up if it’s still causing problems, but I thought that was “fixed” when the boxes started getting checked automatically.

I am under the impression that everyone who is linked together will show up in your party and hence on that list on the ROTR/BG page. If all those people are tapped into the park, they'll all be preselected/checked off for the BG. If they're not all in the park, you're going to get the note that says "Hold up, is everyone in your group in the park?" etc and then taking too long to deal with that, you won't get a BG. At least this was what was explained to me on the phone last week w/ the CM, and she cited the MagicBands as the culprit--which is why I wasn't able to remove the person myself in the MDE app (a Guest cannot kill a MagicBand I guess) and why I insisted that the person be separated from her MB and be removed from our party by the CM. I (or the CM ha ha) could be wrong so if anyone else knows better feel free to chime in, but this is what I understood as it related to our situation. 🤷‍♀️(And, most importantly, it worked as she was finally removed, the 4 of us were automatically checked, and we got a BG!)
 
9:45 and the MMRR ride hasn't opened yet, and Slinky next to us is already an hour+. Would have been nice to know that the one day we have at the studios, every ride would start late...
