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

[GoofyGirl75]

I tried practice runs with an iPhone 6 twice this week and got to the “not do fast” screen each time. Obviously, if you have a faster option, use it. But it is not true that with a slower phone “you do not have a chance”.

My daughter got BG 14 this morning using her iPhone 7+ and WiFi (we’re at Pop). She beat me, and I was using my husband’s newer phone and AT&T (which was faster with the speed test). I guess teens are just naturally faster on their phones.

Does it mess up if two people try to book at the same time/on the same account? My boyfriend was asking if we should both try tomorrow morning, but I'm nervous it'll glitch out if we do.

No, that is fine. One person should get in, the other will get an error.

I think a lot of the unexplained glitches are actually cases where people were having two members of their party using the same account. We'll never know because there is no way to verify what people say about what they were doing.

That's what my boyfriend and I would be doing. We were both going to use my account to try to get a BG. I failed to get in this morning during the practice run, but I think it was partially my fault if it's going to glitch out though, I'll just use my phone.

it's not. Plenty of reports here of multiple people using the same account and being successful. Unsuccessful attempts comes from older phones, not being fast or not following the tips on page 1

My husband and I have been practicing everyday for four days. We both sign into my account. One of us has been successful every morning while the other gets an error message. We’ve been assuming it’s just giving the error to the one who was slower that day and trying to “join” a fraction of a second after the other one joined.

Thanks again all!!! Last week I got BG 10!!!

Exactly.

Question:

Once your BG is called....how long does it take to actually ride? (Is there a physical queue waiting to ride too?)

Question:

This past Friday, we were called at 1:36 (BG 66), but didn't head to the queue until 2pm. We were off the ride at 2:40 pm, that counts the line and the ride experience. This past Sunday we were called at 9:15am (BG 1!), and we headed to the ride around 9:45/10. We didn't go through the regular stand-by line as we had on Friday. Instead, we went through the "Fastpass" line which short cut a huge amount of the queue system. I'm pretty sure we were in the pre-show within minutes and off the ride around 10:15.

I think the later your boarding group is, the more chance you have of there being a longer line as it's had a chance to build from all the BGs called ahead of yours. On Sunday when we were BG 1, I noticed that they started using the Standby queue around 10:45 ish.... I'm sure there's a method to Disney's madness, I just don't know what it is!

 

[mrodney]

Exactly.

Yup! When we got BG 66 this past Friday and BG 1 this past Sunday, there were 3 of us (me, husband, 11yo daughter) all logged into the same account (mine). Each day, the person who secured the BG got the expected message with the astromech at the top, one of us got a "Not So Fast You're Already in a Group," and the other got the gray "Something went wrong" banner across the bottom. I'm sure it has to do with phone/user speed and whether you're on data or Wifi and which is faster at the moment.

I see in the first post that it is not advised to use Skyliner to get to HS that day if you are trying to get a Rise of the Resistance boarding group/ride the ride.

Is this still the case? We are staying at Pop for the first time (ever) and wanted to use the skyliner for HS as we don't plan to go to Epcot during this trip. We plan to get to the line around 90 minutes before park open (or 30 minutes before they start boarding skyliners, whatever is earlier). I'm assuming since I can get my boarding pass at 7:00 from anywhere now that this won't be an issue and is just something that wasn't fix from the pre-covid tips?

No, this is no longer the case. That portion must be from when BG's were released at 10am and you had to be in the park to get one. Many ride the Skyliner from Pop on the DHS days.

Is it the same number of steps if I start from the join a virtual queue page as it is if I start from seeing the at at or does one side have less clicks than the other? I’ve practiced on both sides and was unsuccessful from at at but I don’t know if at at had anything to do with that or if I just have an old slow
Phone. I also keep meaning to count the screens but panic when the moment comes!

Got group 38 in some kind of birthday miracle! My boyfriend and I both tried on the same account, but my app crashed right after I clicked the first join button. His thankfully did not, and he was able to get us in! So excited!

I’d love to help you answer this question about steps because I’ve been successful five days in a row of practice. But I can’t understand what you’re saying. What does “practiced on both sides mean?”

Hey guys quick question. Haven’t been to Disney since last March pre covid. Sending the boys down in a few weeks and just wanted a quick update. When I last got a BG you had to wait until like 8:00:02 to start hitting join. Is it still 7:00:02 or should I be starting at 7:00:00? TIA

The moment it hits 7:00, start then. Any hesitation and you will not get a BG. Yesterday afternoon I was practicing from home and even though I did everything I have for the past 2 weeks, I still missed out. He who hesitates has lost his BG!

Update: Missed it again today. That's 2 days in a row missing the 1:00 practice BG. They're going FAST!! (I'm clicking as quickly as my screens load but they're both lagging just a bit and that's all it takes!) Hope those in the parks are having better success than I am.

Has anyone else noticed that the site loads slower than it has in the past? My download speeds are insane but the app seems exceptionally slow lately (compared to previous experience).
