I got to play from home today to help out friends in DL today.

I hard closed my iphone7 and reopened 10 minutes out. Launched the app 10 seconds out. Button was red. Got BG 33!

It's not that bad. Yesterday we arrived to what looked like a HUGE mass of humanity, but got in line on the side entry gate closest to Downtown Disney and were in the gates in under 10 minutes. I would suggest avoiding the center turnstiles. They opened the gates an hour early yesterday (a non magic morning weekday). When we returned at 9:05 (we left the park to get a better cell signal), we walked right in, so it appears everyone who was in line got in easily.

Were you able to do this from home because you have an AP? I thought you had to be in DL park.

No, I was doing it for my friends who are in the park today. I was logged into their account.

All regular groups called by 2:53pm. Impressive. Most impressive.

i wonder when they'll run out of back up groups.
Do we know how many backups they give out?

They have caught (or nearly caught) the all time high. They've had good luck with any down time. It seems any interruptions have been short-lived.

I wouldn't be surprised if they slowed down the rate at which they call BGs. I suspect that they don't want to hit the end of the backup groups too quickly. If they time it right the last backup BG would be called about an hour before park close.

Edit: added word.

We don't. But I assume that they run a calculation with the target hourly rate and a best case scenario of no or minimal down time, fudge it for a percentage of no-shows, and issue for that. In other words, if they are going to run out of groups to call, it will happen close to the time they would stop calling anyway.

Previous three Fridays, including opening day

NO! Try not. DO. Or do not. There is no try.

Fridays are not terrible as it is not a magic morning. Backups last a while. Not as nice as wednesdays... but better than Tues/Thurs for sure.
