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

[dieumeye]

So several cases, if someone dares to try:
1) After scanning in, go back to the hotel and try to join at 8:00...
2) Enter DCA instead of Disneyland and try to join at 8:00...
3) Join both on app and physically on the fastpass koisk

Maybe tomorrow.

I’m sitting on the sidewalk on Main Street. I feel bad for those that don’t have that option...

Announcement over speakers welcomed everyone to DL and explained the virtual queue will be in use and open at 8.

Here’s to another two hours standing here waiting to push a button at the exact right second!!

Glad everyone is getting into the park!!!

I think the play here is getting in and sitting on a bench in town square.

I have EMH on Monday for DCA wondering if once I'm scanned in to Disneyland around 6:45 I can go enjoy the actual EMH and get my boarding pass from there. If not that sucks

Depending on your level of risk tolerance, we would all LOVE for you to try this, lol. Inquiring minds want to know!

I’m here today and a CM told us that we do not have to be in the park to get a BG, we just had to be scanned into Disneyland beforehand.

Not sure on what would happen if you scan into DCA after scanning into DLR though.

1) So at Batuu East in DHS, people have scanned into the park and then left before official park opening and been able to secure a BG via the app from the comfort of their hotel room. No idea if Disneyland will be the same, but I would think likely
2) I believe you have to scan into Disneyland - BUT I would think you could scan into Disneyland then leave and go into DCA and secure a BG via the app from inside DCA, but it needs to register you as having entered Disneyland at some point to get a bG
3) I would be shocked if they let you get 2 BGs as even the ones given out physically at the fastpass kiosk will have to access you account/ticket so it would still be the same ticket but the app and physical BG would be attached too and atleast at DHS they really cracked down on not letting people get more than one BG in a day

It’s probably going to be the quietest EMH ever at DCA.

I almost wonder if (for those allowed) it’s OK to go ride like Soarin or RSR real quick right at 7 before dashing over to DL before 8.

This has been proven to work at WDW. Guests have left Studios and joined a Boarding Group from Animal Kingdom.

The BG System just needs to know you entered DL at some time before joining a group...it doesn’t care where you are located at the time you access the BG system.

 

[Aurora0427]

This is so exciting! I love reading everyone’s play by play. I hope you all get a BG, stay warm, and find a place to sit for awhile. Just about 90 minutes to go!!!! May the Force be with you!!!!

 

[dieumeye]

I’m not so sure scanning into DL then scanning into DCA would allow you to get a BG.

Remember the whole thing about APs being blocked from entry into one park if you scanned in too soon after scanning into the other park? If it still works that way, I wouldn’t be sure you’d be able to do it.

Definitely would like someone to try!

Ok thanks. If I can get a BG on Sunday I will risk it and try to get one from DCA on Monday

I assume this is about maximizing the chance to get one while they're available rather than an effort to get two. I think I'd do the same if I were there this morning.

Advancing line to hub.

Bench status: wet!

ah, ok that makes sense - definitely can see the benefit of at least being in the area of one of those kiosks while trying to secure a BG on your phone in case something goes wrong

at DHS people would try to be near the Guest Experience Team members for similar reasons - that if something goes wrong they can go to them for help/back up option

apologies if I misunderstood the question/intent (for the first few days at DHS people were able to get multiple BGs)

 

[Whistlebee]

Loving everyone’s live reports! So much fun! Thanks for sharing.

 

[Skyegirl1999]

We veered towards Buzz when they opened up, so we’re now by the Astro Orbitors.

I’m definitely angling to be near the machines if my phone fails me.

If I am remembering correctly, that poster was still in the AK parking lot when they joined their BG. Having said that, I agree completely with your second paragraph.

Opened up Main Street ropes, it was packed. Holding people at ropes for each land entrance, hopefully we can get on rides soon.

 

[disneylover102]

They just moved us to the Frontierland, Adventureland, and Fantasyland. I’m at the front of the rope at Frontierland!
