I didn't read through every page, so forgive me if this was already asked... Does your whole party need to be there to scan in/ get a boarding group? I know it's not open yet, but this is what I'm hearing for Disney World.

We're going the first weekend in February/ first week of March! Just looking ahead and starting to plan!!

Yes. Only people who have entered the park can join a boarding group.

You can read the first post and it'll give you that information and so much more.

I didn't actually see that (that the whole party needs to be there) from the first post myself... while it does say you can request to join the virtual queue after entering the park I'm not sure that in itself would explicitly exclude the possibility of creating a group with some members not scanned in the park even though that feels like the most likely assumption I can definitely understand that it might still be a question if just one person from a group needs to be there to request to join.
 
"Request to join a boarding group to ride the attraction, once you have entered Disneyland park."

Anyone wanting to ride must have entered Disneyland park.

This also kind of clarifies "Can I enter DCA?" From this reading, no, you must be scanned into DL.
 
I am hoping that is what it means. For what its worth, when I was getting a return time for something yesterday, i asked the cast member at the kiosk if we had to scan into DL or would DCA work. She said I had to scan into DL, but I was free to go over to DCA once I had a boarding group.

We are going Saturday 1/18. Here's hoping we get a boarding group. Need to think about what time I want to be out of the house. Those going Friday, will you look at what time the wheelchair rentals look like they are open? Will have to pick up one for my Mom.

Wheelchair rentals doesn't open until park opening unfortunately.

I don't think that is quite true. It is definitely open before as we rope drop a lot and it is always open before the park to get one. They were when we had the reservation for Galaxies Edge in June. Just wondering if they will be open earlier. If not, we will go in and get the boarding group and then head back out to get one.
 
Referring back to my original list of questions, here's what I think we know right now. This is based on my reading of this group and other sources. Let me know if I got something wrong, though.

> Will parties be open to secure boarding passes from either park, or only in Disneyland?

It sounds like you will have to enter Disneyland in order to enter a boarding group. I assume that once you've scanned into the park you can probably get a boarding pass from anywhere, but that remains to be proven.

> Will it be possible to secure multiple boarding passes per day?

Unknown. At least initially I suspect that it will be difficult to secure a boarding pass any time beyond the initial rush, so this will probably remain unanswered until things calm down.

> Will it be necessary to get a new version of the Disneyland app?

It doesn't seem like it. Disney hasn't released a new version.

> What is the procedure for guests who don't have cell phones?

Disney cast members will apparently serve up boarding group numbers from the old Buzz Lightyear / Star Tours Fast Pass area. It isn't clear whether they are available from other sites as well.

> What is the typical highest boarding group number issued, and when do boarding passes run out?

Unknown. The DHS version seems to typically get up into the high hundreds, but it varies from day to day.

> Does everyone in my party have to scan into the park in order to join a boarding group?

Yes. No one in the party will receive a boarding pass if even a single member hasn't entered the park. You'll need to remove absent members from your party in order to join.

You can not ride multiple times in 1 day at this point. The DLR website says “You will be able to join one boarding group per day.“

Actually I believe you do need to update the app. Today when I opened the app it said to update for information regarding SWGE. I did update it and there isn’t anything new that I noticed but I’m sure there will be soon.
 
I'm reading the First Post and this passage about getting the Boarding pass itself:

There also will be the ability to join a boarding group from select locations inside Disneyland park, if you are not using the app. The boarding group is tied to admission that will be scanned upon entry of the attraction.

Do we have to go to a physical location ( I think near Buzz Lightyear Ride in TomorrowLand ) and receive the boarding pass through the app through some scan or something at that location?

or

If we have the App; once we physically enter the DL park itself ( after getting the ticket scanned ), are we able to immediately use the App to request the Boarding Pass itself?

For example; if I am boarding the Monorail at Downtown Disney ( where I think the ticket is scanned to go into DL ), should I be able to request the Boarding Pass itself once I get past the Monorail Gate ( before boarding the Monorail itself )?

Apologies for asking a stupid question; but when I read the initial post, I am a little confused as to how soon I can get the Boarding Pass. My guess is that I can get the boarding pass via the App once my ticket is scanned to enter DL ( which should.....technically work....once I enter the Monorail...which requires a ticket scan ).

first question: if app, get your BG there. If NO APP, there will be 'places' to get BG. 'possible' location is the buzz since that's where CMs where told to go for their hard ticket during rampup trials.

second question: Monorail - Don't know - we don't have an answer for the Monorail since not spelled out nor experience at HS in WDW. If you use it - report back!

It won’t be available until published park opening hours. It is based on your ticket being scanned though so you should definitely be in the park before opening.

I will try and let all of you know. Thanks.

Please report back on your experience after your visit. It will be helpful to others to know whether they can get a wheelchair before entering or whether they will have to enter first, then go get the wheelchair. TIA!

Do you have apple or android? Just looked at google play and the last update for Android was back in November.
 
Will the Disneyland App refresh itself when it's time to reserve BG or do you have to manually refresh or quit the app. If you have to manually refresh, how do you do it?

For wdw you have to manually refresh to do that you close the SWGE section and reopen it.
