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

[wiihoo888]

From reading reports it seems like Starbucks is crazy but the actual food locations are light with Docking Bay 7, etc being pretty empty first thing

We kinda rope dropped Ronto Roasters once the park opened. There really was no crowd to speak of there until we finished and left. Just follow the horde into GE and then make a turn once you get there. Oh, and they are as tasty as everyone says they are

My daughter and I both have an iPhone 6 right now.
I have been following this thread from Day 1.
I am not taking any chances so we are both getting iPhone 11s today for our trip next week.
I have spent way too much money on this vacation as it is so what's a few more dollars in the budget.

OK. I got the new iPhone 11s this morning. But it turns out my daughter doesn't think her Physics teacher will let her practice at 8 am all next week. SO I am wondering if this an email the teacher, or principal or just straight to the school board issue? Any parents out there who have experienced this level of disappointment with the school system? What did you do?

There's a horse? What -- are they using mounted cms for crowd control?

THAT would be so fun!

I mean, seems like you have to move out of the school district. Seriously what other choice do you have?

meanwhile, your daughter won’t likely need as much practice as us old folk. lol. She’ll nail it on the first try!

45 people?!?! Do you need to keep them all there? Goodness sakes, that's a lot!

For the most part yes ... my whole extended family typically travels to WDW the same time of year. Though each family core does their own thing, we do have overlapping plans of a few shared meals, FPs, etc. We are a “small” group of just 15 this year but next year will be much bigger and I don’t want to go through the hassle of re-adding everyone again.

I fully admit we are crazy!!

Low Power mode sometimes persists after you’ve charged up a bit. (I can’t remember when it switches back to full power, but on my IPhone 7, it could be well up past 60% and still in “low power mode” and if I’m not still charging it up, I have to reset it to full power manually in settings>battery. MDE uses a ton of power, so low power mode does slow it down.) Also, FWIW, I have official word from Agnes at Disney Tech that Bluetooth is not necessary in that app for securing a boarding group, so I’m keeping that feature turned-off while I try for boarding groups. It’s a huge power drainer.

Do you know what the Bluetooth feature is used for?

I'm guessing PP meant to type "hordes."

Yeah but that’s not as fun

My morning: Pre-Booked an Uber for 6:00 at Riviera. It arrived slightly late and arrived at HS 6:25. I recommend ordering for a little while before you really want to depart. Right through bag check. Lines at turnstiles already to the booths. 7am followed to GE. Sat on the curb with full bars Verizon LTE. Opened app at 7:57a and signed in fresh. WiFi & Powersave off. Find Out More at 8am and half a second. Full red and BG 12. I have practiced the 8am and half a tick for a week and has been fool proof. Rope Dropped MFSR and off that in 1/2 hour. Place was packed this morning and bogged down now.

Isn't this what hall passes are for?

[UnnaturalPathways]

How do you turn “power save off” on the iPhone?

Sorry I meant Turn “Low power mode” off

 

[UnnaturalPathways]

Thanks for your thorough post. Curious about how you did this part...

All I meant was that I kept scrolling up and down a bit every 20 seconds or so, just to make sure the app was staying active

If I want to help my friend while she’s in the park and I’m home, do I need to be signed into her account .... or is it enough to have her and her daughter on my friends list in my account?

Either way will work.

For what it’s worth, my husband got BG 7 this morning by not closing the app and using the newest version....everything he wasn’t supposed to do

I just know my husband is going to be the one to get our BG and I will never hear the end of it . He is so removed from our Disney planning he doesn’t even have the app (yet).
