Rise of the Resistance BOARDING GROUPS Superthread Part 1 *No Ride Spoilers Please* *PLEASE READ POSTS 1-4*

[IsleofDisney]

As of 9:01 a Join Boarding Group is still active on my app as i'm playing at home. 9:02 closed

Seems like today lasted a bit longer? I was able to practice several times and still didn't get the "backup group" pop up like I did the first time I tried yesterday.

I’d agree - same experience here.

Wow, this is not good, you guys. I was hoping things would get better today, but I stayed off from home the first minute and went in right at 9:01. They were already on backup boarding groups!!! I know it's only 5 days, but this is way worse than WDW and I was expecting to see some let up today.

Yes, me too. I tried for the first time from home just to see the process and was able to see the red button until about 9:01:35.

Im playing from work...I think I would have gotten some I got a something went wrong message after submitting my party. I also didnt get the boarding button turn red til 9:01

Anybody know what the guaranted boarding group number is for today 1/21?

 

[ironband74]

Playing along at home, Regular boarding groups appeared to last until 9:01:20 or so. My button greyed out by 9:03, but still gave the backup message.

By 9:05, I have the message saying all BGs are gone, and that BGs over 71 are backups.

It seems that for me, Android user, Galaxy S7, AT&T, the approach of opening the app at opening gives me an active button.

70, back up starts at 71

I played from home today and got through but by 9:01 (wasn't watching seconds) they were on backup groups. Also - backup groups are now gone. Doesn't seem better than the holiday weekend crowd. 70 is last regular boarding group

Same! I got followed along at work with a clock up on one computer screen. Had the app open to just the main screen. Right at 9:00 am I clicked "Find out More" button, and got the red "Join Boarding Group" button on the next screen. Was able to click it and then had to link tickets. I didn't see the pop up message "you are joining a back up boarding group" like I did yesterday, which I take to mean that I would have been able to get a regular BG. I went back out to main app screen and tried again - same thing. Then just for kicks, I restarted the app and around 9:01:30 tried again - no dice. Not even back up group was offered to me. On a side note, it looks like they are starting with BG 1 today and that the ride is boarding right away?

Same for me. AT&T, Galaxy S10. I have to open the app at the appropriate time to get an active button.

And Disneyland has beaten DHS to open. Group 1 is first group of the day.

My son is very lucky. Got group 18 yesterday and group 7 today.

I was not expecting them to last longer today. It’s a 9am opening following a MM, so there are a lot of people in the park when it opens by then even normally. Then, you’ve got lower hours, so less groups...

If there are 100 people in a boarding group as hypothesized, then 8000 people in the park when it opens will instantly fill 80 BG - that’s not really that many people. Especially following a MM... and some people think BGs are closer to 75 people, and if they’re starting with BG 10 or 12 or whatever, then “81” groups is really 69 or whatever...

The math just doesn’t point to it dying down.

Heading to DL mon-fri next week. Coming from canada so will just be running off 4G our carrier here uses ATT down there im not fusing with the wifi. It will be me and my 5 year old trying for BG. Gonna try 1st day to see how it goes. We have 4 mornings to try so best to try and get it out of the way then can relax rest of the trip.

We purposly picked this week to go as it has historically showed the lowest crowds.

Some local area schools have off Monday, Jan 27. Just a heads up. Expect Monday to be very busy.

Also - once it got to backup groups I couldn't actually get one. The button was grey. I restarted the app - no difference. I will need to figure that out by Sunday. My phone did not work (iPhone 8) with having the app already open but sitting on my home screen. The back button didn't help. I had to close the app and open it again - luckily on my home wifi this happened quickly and I could have gotten an actual boarding group. I had DH trying, too. He was sitting on the Find Out More page and once it turned 9 he hit the button and watched the grey turn red to Join a Boarding Group.

 

[Lvsdisney]

DH has quick fingers and got us BG 18! We were sitting at the Red Rose Tavern (with many others). No problems with cell service. We're Verizon.

ETA: lots of cheers from people surrounding us. Seems like an ideal location.

@SOCALMouseMommy did you get a boarding group?

 

[Mathmagicland]

Starting at BG 1 today, thru 70, is the same # of BGs as starting at 12 and going thru 82 like was seen over the weekend...

Super depressing But you are right. My hope sprang from reading the WDW thread for so long. They never had a stretch like this. It feels as if DL is having a tougher time with the ride tech though. WDW has had some great days where they got through lots of backup groups, DL has really low numbers comparatively. At least it feels that way. I'll have to compare the charts.
