Not yet.

Maybe today will be the day? Looks like it’s down again. Only at group 38 at 3:30. Ouch.

Did you guys get to ride?

Yeah! I posted about it on the last page.

i hope not. This day reminds me of when I did the ride at WDW. Lots of delays, breakdowns, and they couldn’t finish the guaranteed groups because the ride just wouldn’t work by evening

Has Disneyland ever had to give out compensation for uncalled guaranteed groups?

I know that DHS has. Its funny cause the app says that a boarding group does not guarantee entry to ride, but i suppose they will compensate if needed.

4:15am wake up to 2:10pm entered the pre-show with BG 35... we’re exhausted but it feels worth it. Rode the Train, had breakfast, rode Indy, Guardians, Pirates, lunch, and then bailed after Rise. The longest wait we were in was for Guest Relations to try to solve a dining reservation issue with the Disneyland app.

While the limited capacity surely disappoints people who can’t get a BG group... the system works marvelously to keep you from spending an entire day in line.

Thank you to all for the tips and info!

You can get into SWGE thru the Frontierland entrance at rope drop?

Every day we were there, they had ropes in the hub at Frontier Land, Adventure Land and Tomorrowland. At 5 minutes till opening, they ropes were removed and we were allowed to enter into all lands. As far as I could tell, all entrances into GE were open. Going all the way around to Hungry Bear and going in that entrance would be much further since Smugglers Run is the only thing open that anyone would be hurrying to get to. The bulk of the crowd would go through Frontier Land, go by Big Thunder and to into GE through that entrance. Something we did not check out is if there is a rope at the back side of Fantasy Land going towards GE because that would be the fastest way to GE if you had Magic Morning and had access to Fantasy Land.

We finished the ride around 1:00 pm. Made for a long morning as we left the room at 6:30 am. We are dvc so tend to not spend long hours at the park. Our biggest problem was just not knowing how long it would take to board. At 16 we figured it would be quickly, so kept delaying our other max passes. But grateful that we got on.

That's not going to happen. On a long day like today, they would have to drop to around an average of 6 BG's/Hr. in order not to meet the low minimum bar they have set. They're at 65 now a little after 5:00, so they'll probably be through the regular groups by around 7:00, or perhaps 8 if there's a breakdown.

This is interesting. Despite a truly abysmal morning, the Resistance has rebounded and actually is exceeding the trend line at this point. I’m pretty curious to see what the next three hours bring.

Sadly, just the Sunday average. The top line is all time high (not fair, I know)

I’m wondering how many people bailed for the Superbowl. We chatted with several people in 49ers or Chiefs gear who had BGs but were leaving the parks for the game. Maybe it has no effect, but if even 10 people per group left... could help.

I read quite a few people on facebook groups who went hoping to get an early group...if not they said they were going to leave. So that could be accurate to some extent. Especially if they are weekly visitors.

I mean, that would have been us. If it had become clear that we weren’t going to ride before the game, I was going to offer them up here, but most people probably have no way to “give” them to someone. And given how bad the morning went, I wouldn’t be surprised if even more people bailed.

It is funny, because this should be true and I am sure it usually is, but we spent two hours in this line on Thursday because of the breakdown, and we were not in any other line for any ride all day longer than 15 minutes.

Crushing it with a spread now of 27 -- that's a new high for them I think.

Closing in on overall average!

View attachment 470552

Yes! Okay, I learned how to do the custom graph tool, which is dangerous. But here is one. Top line is the all time high; bottom line is the all time low; and the middle line is the average. So they're not breaking any records today for sure, but it's performed significantly better than the "worst", and is approaching the average. I'd say that's not that bad considering the ride didn't every really get moving until after noon and still had a major breakdown after that.

 

[EmJ]

Also if I'm annoying everyone with my graph-posting, someone please tell me. I find it fascinating, but am not sure if everyone else is like, omg yes we get it, graphs, will you stop already
