Backups still available

Looks like back-ups started about 60 seconds in , from what I saw this morning ......possibly a little earlier even ?

Yeah back ups are still available at 8:09 here. Must be the threat of rain as PP suggested.

I’m also wondering how many got through the gates before 8am.

So my play from home experience was odd today. Normally, I flip around all the screens until I start getting the backup message (Find out more, see Rd button, click, hit back, hit my status, click, click join boarding group off that page). Today, whenever I hit my status, Join Boarding Group didn't "turn on" like it has in the past...until they went to backups.

I started getting the backup message around 1:15 in or so. 8:11 now and still getting it. The rain must have scared people away.

31 for me today!

Group 32! My app timed out but DD got in.

You might have been working with "cached" DL APP info . I ran into that last week as well .
It has never happened to me since , after I started opening the DL APP about 30 seconds before opening , and did NOT hit the "find out more" button till just after opening .
In other words , do not leave the DL APP running in the backround for an extended time, right before the boarding group procedure. Open it just before the BG process is starting. I open mine 30 seconds before.

I was trying new things on my phone to see if I could get the button to turn after going into the app a minute early. As expected, I could not. I also noticed that I started getting the pop up immediately upon my restart of the app and clicking in for a backup group.

So best practice still seems to be (at least on Android) to hold off on clicking "Find out More" until OPO.

Backups still available at 8:15. Yesterday they went with only 61 regular groups. Curious to see what they do today. DHS is clicking along nicely so far. Hopefully we can follow suit.

I don't think so. I usually don't open the app until right at 8 (and sometimes later if I'm at work and lose track ) I crashed the app twice thinking that I might have a cache issue, but it still did it until I got the backup message.

Agree. Especially found this to be true if you sit on their WiFi. I think they cache and don't refresh until forced.

 

[ironband74]

OK, backups are gone. 81 and up are backups. Expect to start at group 10 or 11 today. Now the waiting game begins.

O.K. , just a quick guess .

A little off topic. They are expecting it to be busy today. There are 3 showings of fantasmic tonight.

Oh goodness. I was planning on going tomorrow. I wonder if today and tomorrow are going to be slammed like last weekend. Is ski week still happening?

 

[hiroMYhero]

Is ski week still happening?

In San Diego, Ski Week ends tomorrow.

Backups lasted until 8:18a today but the weather should be better tomorrow.

It’s the end of ski week so if people came for the whole week they may still be here.
