How far away were you when you got the notification? People have been wondering how far away they can be and still know when their BG is called.

I was about 2.7 miles from DL, a good 10 min drive from the park...

The notification is coming via your data connection. You could be in Maine and as long as you have Internet you will get the notification. 😜

Are BG's out here smaller or we just running a little quicker?

Comparing the BG/hour reported here to TouringPlans counts of riders exiting the ride/hr, it would appear both parks are using a BG size of either 100 or just below.

Yeah - agree - ~100 sounds right and consistent for both parks. Shouldn't be different as would expect using the same base code on it right?

WDW had some down time this morning, but back up again with a good BG spread like DLR of 20. WDW was really humming yesterday evening with a spread closer to mid 30s at one point after a huge delay in the AM.
 
We were in boarding group 31 today and got called around 1:30. The man in line in front of us said he was in group 10 and it went down this morning, he was given an any time FP. Came back twice and it was down and CMs told him to shoot for boarding group 30. We got there about 10 min. after our boarding group was called, waited in line about 30 or 40 min. to get to the first room and that went down. We stood there with nothing going on until a CM opened the door and told us to just move on, we also moved right through the next room and onto the ride. No glitches in the ride after we actually got on it. We were off by 2:34 or 40. We were at the park around 6:15 this morning, cold as all heck, let in at 6:30 and 7 am on the dot both my son and I were on MDE trying for boarding groups, he was on 4G I was on internet. I got the group at about 7:02 am.

I gather you are referring to WDW?

I think you’re on the wrong board; this is the Disneyland ROTR thread. :-)

Update: Some folks thought my original posting was overly specific to the point of being a spoiler, so I've updated it.

This happened to me on the 18th. I made it partway through and the ride went down. We were eventually escorted off and given the All Experience FastPass. I was actually pretty happy about being evac'ed; I got to see the first half of the attraction twice on the same day.

Incidentally, one needs to be careful not to use the All Experience pass for anything except ROTR (unless of course you choose not to ride it). I always get paranoid whenever I receive one of these and worry that I'm going to accidentally expend it on the wrong attraction. This seems like a real concern for those with MaxPass, since it seems like you could accidentally expend it by showing up at an attraction at the wrong time. I generally just use my park pass to scan in rather explicitly redeem the FastPasses, so I don't think there is any safeguard preventing this.

Seems like you would have to use the app to scan in rather than your ticket to avoid that?

The way to avoid accidentally using a ME FP is to scan into the ride for which you have a regular FP by using that actual digital FP in the app for that specific ride. Do not use your park ticket or pass to scan in!!! You never know how the Disney IT might prioritize your ME FP and your regular ride FP if you just scan your ticket at the FP machine and hope for the best...
