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

[Joeboo25]

We ate breakfast at Trattoria al Forno with a 7:35 ADR. Headed to DHS at 8:15. Probably 25 people waiting when we got there. They let us move to the temp tents at 9:00. 5-10 minutes later, they let us go through temp tents. My daughter and I were first through and first into the park. We went straight to MMRR and walked right on. We waited maybe 5 minutes before loading into a car. Headed to ToT and got off in time to wait for a boarding group at the entrance to Rockin Roller Coaster. My daughter and I both tried- I turned off location, she did not. Both on cell service instead of WiFi and got group 18. We then rode RRC with only a 15 minute wait. Called for our boarding group at 11:30. Super successful morning!

So which one of you got the boarding group? Location on or location off? Thanks!

Today's 2pm boarding group loaded funny at home while practicing/ no success!

I wonder if yesterday's glitch is indication that they are updating or changing something?

I had the same issue at 2pm today, it hung forever on the page where it lists the guests (wouldn't load it). So this was my first unsuccessful run in 3 weeks or so (since I started practicing). However I was successful at the 10am test today.

This was my issue during a 10a test last week. It hung on the friends list for about 2 seconds longer than usual. I wouldn't take it as an indication they're updating or changing anything, just a random hiccup.

I experienced the same slight delay practicing at 10 am this morning and was unsuccessful.

My guess is that there is technical work going on with it being laggy today and yesterday ppl being able to get bgs from home. I can't imagine it being an easy toggle switch for the website workers lol
Also, now mde is not working for me or letting me sign in the app. It's just crashing.

I think they're changing something! The last time people got bgs from home, I feel like soon after they made it so that it automatically picked up your f&f who are scanned in the park.

Disney. Disney. Disney. What are you up to!!!??

Getting BGs from home was likely part of a larger issue that affected MDE yesterday in different ways across multiple parks. Your app crashing or not being able to sign in isn’t an indicator of larger things afoot and mire likely just a bug that affects a small % of users. I really wouldn’t read into it as they’re changing something.

I would suggest reinstalling the app if youre having issues even opening it. Right after the last update my MDE was very slow anytime I opened it. I deleted the app, reinstalled, and everything was fine.

The last time it gave them to people at home was before the shutdown, automatically adding f&f that are in the park was just in the past month.

August 30th people were able to get boarding groups without being scanned at the park, so a lot of us got them just practicing that day!

I did that and it's got the message about pardon the inconvenience.

It's about mobile ordering with gift cards or rewards.

What do you think causes the issue of people getting bgs at home?

I assume the issue of BGs at home was part of the larger MDE glitch that day where people also had to be manually checked in at AK and MK because MDE wasn't working properly.

Oh really, I must have missed the Aug day! So this was the 3rd time it had happened? I thought it was just the 2 times.

Which option is best to get in before 10am? Uber to gas station and walk or drive to parking booth at 8:30-45? I'm expecting crowds to be up due to Halloween weekend and some folks getting extended weekend for election day. I better start practicing again. This thread is tremendous help.

I arrive this Sunday and I plan to walk from Dolphin. From everything I have read on these forums, walkers are beating cars and Skyliner by a significant amount. You need to be in line by 8:15 if you want to be one of the first through the tunrstiles.

This morning when practicing I got the red message that boarding groups were closed so I hit the X on that and hit join again and it worked this time... has that happened to anyone else?

I didn't get the red X, but there seemed to be a tiny lag this morning. When I hit it right at 10:00 like I always do, the blue button wasn't there (I thought maybe they were all gone already), so I refreshed and it showed up and I was able to get through.

Same things happened to me this morning. After clicking the x and trying to join again, I got the "not everyone is in the park" message.

 

[Turk February]

I didn’t get the 2nd join button immediately either but assumed it was because I was attempting to hit the first one a split second before 10. Backed out, hit join again and was still able to get one practicing. Wife had no issues.

Same, i missed the August one as well.

 

[Nanceliz319]

I wasn’t able to get one practicing this morning. It came up red message not boarding.
I haven’t gotten through since the 1st time I tried it.
hopefully, I’ll have better luck once I upgrade my phone
