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

So basically, get to DHS at 9AM in your car?

Also, how many seconds has the 10AM been taking? Anyone get it before 10AM? Or just open the Disney app fresh at 10AM using a clock synced with seconds to the real time?

The drop is always right at 10am, never before, so yes, just do your clock countdown. Morning drop has gone anywhere from 20 seconds up to 3 minutes.

Question: I've seen conflicting advice about whether everyone in your group should be trying for the BG, or whether you should leave it to one person. Will something glitch if everyone tries it?

It doesn't hurt to have multiple people in your group trying. Cast members will tell you differently, but it's not an issue. First one through gets the BG's for everyone.

Gone in approx 45 seconds. I'm really glad I practiced, especially with the extra step of adding people to my party. The app shut down on me during the second practice. Interesting stuff! I'm looking forward to doing it for real.

I close everything, all apps and then about a minute before 10 I open MDE and don't touch anything until I see m time turn to 10, then I hit join. It has worked every time I have tried to book a BG

Yes, CM will tell you to only try with one phone, multiples does not hurt, also having someone back home with WiFi does not hurt either. The important thing is not to panic, if it glitches and only takes part of your group, book it and then go right away to a Guest Experience Team under the blue umbrellas and they can add the rest of the party as long as they are in the park

Thanks @yulilin3. I've always been good at taking tests. I'm ready.

Got my group this morning Boarding group 23

Got BG 4 this morning! Called back at 10:04, lol. We rode SDD and went over. Just got out of the .... (trying to avoid spoilers) and the ride went down.

Those who have been there since it reopened, how crowded is it at opening? We are going the first part of August and we want to avoid crowds.

We got here around 9:30, entrance was steady but not crowded. Hollywood Blvd was a little busy, MMRR had a substantial line. But we went back to Toy Story Land and it was pretty quiet, SDD had a super short line.

Ridiculously busy at the crush of the opening. Disney really needs to get a better game plan. It’s night and day different from the other 3 parks and from Universal. After the first 30 minutes it’s fine. I think they need to do staggered arrival times and remove the virtual queue all together.

 

[wareagle57]

Didn’t there used to be a sheet that was kept that showed how many BG they get through each day? What has the average been since reopening? We didn’t get a BG our first day but got one today.

 

[DisneyRobbie]

Is any updating "the chart" showing how long the boarding groups are gone, how many groups get completed and when the last boarding group has gone through the ride? Also does anyone know what percentage of folks trying to get boarding groups do not get one? Is everyone getting one that wants with the 3 different drops or are there still people who are completely unsuccessful? Thanks!

since the app is not showing BG numbers as they go through out the day no one really knows, there's no data on it, before we were able to keep tabs on the total BG numbers

Yeah I’ve been disappointed I haven’t been able to track that. I thought there might be some “on the ground” numbers from at least a few days.

there have been so few reports back. I believe there was someone with a BG 86 who got to ride the other day, I think that's the highest I've seen. Definitely read back

Did they release the 1pm boarding group?

 

[wareagle57]

Broken down again. We were called at 12:57 for BG 22 and were waiting right next to the entrance. Walked further into the queue than I ever have before without stopping. It was about a 5-10 minute wait to the preshow. We got to

Spoiler: Spoiler

the storm trooper room and they told us it was down again. They then continued dumping FOUR more ships worth of people in here. I have no idea why they did that but they need to fix that. I am just glad we missed being stuck in the dreaded hallway of non-social distancing.

Another thing I noticed is they need to put one less group into each preshow. We could not see some key elements from square despite their being plenty of room to place the square elsewhere. Minor thing but just seems they need to get a handle on the distancing in this ride anyway and that’s something that might help.

I’m guessing we shouldn’t be expecting snack when this happens anymore. Haha.

Yes, although it seemed to be a couple seconds after 1 on my end before it was released.

Ok thanks. Tried at 1pm kept showing boarding not available for 10am til 120pm. Then said none available at 1pm. Past couple days never had that.

I am hoping it is easier to ride with reduced attendance and no park hopping.
