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

Are people logging into one MDE account on multiple devices or into different MDE accounts with the same people linked?

The folks posting here have used a combination of both. One family member might have their own MDE account and connected to others in their group. Another family member might be signed into the main planner’s account - this will be our strategy. I will have DD13 sign in on her phone but my account. DH will attempt using his own account.

Either way works, but I wouldn't bother creating new MDE accounts or anything. If you are the main planner and you have the only MDE account, just let everyone log into yours. If everyone already has their own and you're all connected (everyone can make fastpasses for everyone else - that's how you know you're ready to create a boarding group), they can each log in on their own.

Thanks! I wasn’t sure if logging two people in would give a glitch, good to know you can do that

We had 3 separate accounts. Got 12 on Saturday and 15 today.

Sitting here, eating our breakfast Ronto wraps and waiting for our BG. Thanks everyone for all the tips and support.

Day 4 of exactly 51 Regular BGs.

Hopefully the added hour of park time can make up for the 1.5 hours of ride downtime to start the day.

bg 22 called at 9:50, 1 hour return time. We just got to the France pavilion, we might be cutting it close

I have a question. We will be trying for the first time March 28th. I fully expected there to be an 8am opening time, but as of right now it is still at 9am. How far out have they been shifting opening time, and any chance it will stay 9am?

It has so far been pretty sporadic and hard/impossible to predict, unfortunately.

They already adjusted March hours, but no guarantee they won't do it again. We'll be there in mid-March- 2 days after they stopped the 8am opening. I sure hope they extend!

Is there a way of knowing how many backup BG numbers were issued? Or is that just anecdotal based on what we see posted here? I know we can see where backups start and we can track how many actually board.

I really don't think so. Just seeing the last ones called at night is the best we can do.

No, unfortunately we don’t know. Just anecdotal.

Here now, logged in on two devices ( not on Wifi) , standing by slinky as they let us back early and to line up. Got boarding group 110
Add we were only a group of 3

 

[blobberhead]

Ride open! Husband and daughter have like 10 people in front of them. Fingers crossed this will be it!

It should be open....they just got in with fp.

Now boarding group 12!

Looks like you have 1st group of the day!

First BG. BG12

Thanks everyone! Because I was checking this thread, I was able to run over to Rise before my app gave me my push notification.

They were blocking off the standby queue and having everyone enter through the FP queue, and I literally walked right into the start of the first preshow room.

Got through the entire ride and then right when we were about to unload the ride broke down! We waited about 15 minutes, and then they gave us an anytime FP to return even though we had gone through the entire experience.

An interesting thing to note was that everyone on my ride vehicle had tried the day before and got on with a next day FP. I was the only one who had come in with a BG from that morning.

- seems appropriate.

We have taken many trips during spring break over the years and it is very common (as in much more than half the time) for the opening times to be moved up a month or so before the date.

They have already pushed back some closing times for some days in March, but, if I were betting, I would bet that those 9 AM openings will be moved up for the couple of weeks before Easter and the week after.

The crushes at DHS over this holiday weekend should tell them that a 9 AM opening over the even busier spring break weeks would be worse. I am expecting opening times at DHS, DAK, and MK to go to 8 AM to help spread out the masses a little.

We’ll find out soon enough.

If I could ask just one question to the powers that be on Disney, it'd be, why is the starting BG always different. Sometimes it's 2, sometimes its 15, etc. Why can't it always just be at 1 lol

Because for now, it seems to be irrational, maybe they should start issuing irrational BG numbers, like pi, or the square root of 2.

It’s so disheartening to see so many more people report back with late BG and not riding that day, or people reporting finding others in the park trying multiple times before they’re successful.

It’s frustrating that this has gotten harder to ride not easier or at least stayed the same. I really do think if they won’t extend hours a significant amount and can’t keep it running for most of the day, it’s time to put some system in place that prevents repeats, whether it’s back to back days, weekly, whatever at this point. If their system could handle it (doubtful, but you never know lol) maybe even just partially blocking repeat riders, allowing them to snag a BG after 5 minutes should they exist during their “blocked” window.

I know some people hate that idea, I do, I just think it really sucks that some people are wasting so much Disney time trying to ride this. And these are people doing everything right, not people who feel they should be able to walk into DHS at their leisure and ride. If they’re willing to block same day repeats (when available of course), why not extend that concept a bit if it can alleviate some of the craziness?
