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

[montreid]

Got backup boarding group 116 today. It was our first time trying. And our only day at the park. Needing lots of prayers and good luck vibes today.

Hope you stuck it out for the ride this evening!

8:30 and 141 has been called. Do they stop here or keep going? The suspense...

 

[Varty Yo]

Im guessing 141 is the end

 

[ironband74]

I think you're right...but want to make sure they don't surprise us with a 142 in 20 minutes...

 

[ironband74]

OK, at 8:50 I'm calling it. Even so, 141 makes it the second best 9am opening day behind yesterday's 148, and ties for 5th best all time. Mando has earned a bonus.

Ok I am finally caught up on this thread. So much good info! I saw a few people say they got BG’s outside of Plaza Inn, has anyone had any luck getting a BG inside the restaurant? We have reservations for the Minnie breakfast Saturday at 7:10, so we will most likely still be inside eating. How early will they let us in for that? Also trying to figure out when we should plan to leave our hotel, staying at the Fairfield Inn. Usually takes us a while to get through security with all our minions and bags. Sometimes we split up.. just not sure what to expect with the crowds lately. I was thinking we should leave the hotel around 6:20?

Saturday will be a Magic Morning for DL, opening at 7 for those eligible, so security and entrance might be a little crazier as folks will be arriving early for that plus the regular Saturday folks who want to try for RotR. It looks to be approx 10 min walk from the Fairfield, Maybe 15 with minions - I think you’d be OK with a 6:20 departure at the latest. Earlier can never hurt, might depend on number & ages of your kids, is there a stroller, etc, as maneuvering the entrance Plaza crowds could be a bit tricky.

I’d also suggest asking a cast member after security if there’s a separate entrance for the breakfast reservation & where that is, as entrance lines have been moved around with all of the Rise of he Resistance interest.

I also will have a 7:10 breakfast but the following week. Please report back if you can about what time they let you in and if there’s a separate early ADR Gate. Thank you!

... 14. A BIG shout out to those maintaining this thread. It has been beyond useful...

*Thank you, thank you, thank you* to all of you in this thread for sharing your experiences...

You (and everyone reading along here) are very, very welcome! We're all in this together -- the more information we can share in this thread, the more hope for success we can give DISers!
And THANK YOU to everyone who has reported back on their experience and who is contributing faithfully to this superthread! You are very much appreciated!

What I experienced this past Saturday: I had BG 20, and the jawas struck at BG 19. My BG arrival time had already passed by the time the ride started again. I did screenshot my BG just in case, but the app still showed a link for my entry code even after my BG window was over. The link worked when the ride re-started, so I didn't need my screenshots. YMMV.

This is helpful. Thank you for posting!

The barcode on the boarding group is the same barcode on your ticket.

Good to know!

The leftmost line (facing the DL gates) has been the “character breakfast” entrance. Definitely check the signage before having everyone hop in line, but it’s been pretty consistent.

This depends on your individual cell phone type and your carrier, so the experience of other people is only relevant if they have the same phone and carrier. Look at your phones coverage (bars of reception) to figure out if you have coverage. If you have coverage outside, but don't have it in the restaurant, ask a cast member if you can step outside just before official opening. They should understand, and you'll only need a couple of minutes. As an example, my iPhone 10 had excellent coverage with T-Mobil just about anywhere in Disneyland that was not very deep in an interior line, but coverage is terrible in the majority of DCA.

I have a friend in line this morning and will be trying from work for her. We'll be there tomorrow . Seems like crowds are high this morning and tomorrow will be worse I'm sure. Good Luck everyone!!

It's the first day of F&W and the start of the new parade, I expect it to be pretty busy this weekend.

Yup, should be pretty crazy. We've both gotten BGs before though so I think we'll be fine. Can't wait to eat our way through DCA.
