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

[Henryrhea]

Hey I have 2 questions if anyone could help! I haven’t seemed to have found a legit answer for these

-If purchased all your tickets on the Disneyland app on your phone, can your party also log in with your account information on their own phones to increase the chance of snagging a boarding group?

-what’s the limit for a boarding group party? I’m going to Disneyland in April, and my group is going to be 10 including myself.

As long as all your tickets are on one account multiple people can login to that account and attempt.
I believe that as long as all your tickets are in the account that is your boarding group. You cannot add people that are not on your account if that makes sense

Fingers crossed everyone. My daughter and I took this trip just to ride Rise of the Resistance. We are 115 and they are at 88.

Hoping for you! The ride is performing well today at 10 boarding groups an hour. As I type, they are on group 92. Provided they can maintain the 10 gph (groups per hour ) rate, they should get to you sometime between 6:30 and 7:30.

11-12 an hour is impressive I hope it holds as I am 112 as well only 18 groups to go!

I take the day off and look at this thing go! I might be a jinx...probably shouldn't post, but 100 by just after 5 is a first!

I use an ECV. You can go to a certain point with it. I simply say I can transfer, but need to be able to sit until necessary (trying to do this without spoilers). From that point, it is about 2 min standing and maybe 50-75 steps? If they cannot do that, let the CM know. You will use a transfer chair to go from where you have to leave the ECV.

Thanks I'll let her know!

I predict that weekend is probably going to be busier than any long weekend of the year. Why? Canada has a long weekend too (family day) and valentines day is the Friday before. So literally two countries will be vacationing at the same time for 4 days. I know this because flight prices are INSANE for that weekend... I've never seen it that bad. Vegas hotel prices also insane.

I'd wait till the summer...

We arrive in Anaheim on Sunday but we have decided to wait till Tuesday to go in the parks. We are flying in from Canada. It is reading week so we had no other option to go the week following Presidents day. The parks are going to be crazy. Fireworks every night

Edited to add: OMG, it just flipped to 115, when I checked again right after posting this.

115 was just called.

 

[cbrett1984]

115 was just called.

I started the line once called 30 minutes ago and still haven’t ridden. Walking a maze of hallways to get on the ride

I am going to be staying at the Disneyland Hotel for a conference so I will be buying a ticket to go into the park on the last day and stay until closing. Breakfast for the conference starts at 8:00 am, but I am hoping to be over at the gates by 7:00 am to go in so that I can try to get a boarding pass for later in the day after my conference ends. Would I be able to go through the gates and then walk back out into Downtown Disney and get on the Disney App to try to get a boarding pass from there, or do I have to stay in Disneyland to complete this?

115 was called around 6:40. In line now. Thanks for the well wishes.

So here’s a question. DL has settled into a pattern of setting 70-72 primary boarding groups a day. Do you think they will start increasing the number of primary groups as reliability improves? The obvious answer seems like it should be “yes”, but what’s the benefit to Disney? They’re getting though plenty of backups and it’s not like the total number of boarding groups will increase if they increase the number of primaries. Right now they can aim low and exceed expectations, with virtually no risk of missing the target and associated guest recovery.

Likely not, DHS had increased there’s but in the past 2 weeks cut back to match Disneyland for guaranteed groups. DHS is getting into the 140/150s with total number of groups called so about half guaranteed and half backups.

There's little downside for them to leave groups at 72-82.

YES. Once you are through the gates and scanned in, you can leave and go to California Adventure, Downtown Disney, hotel, etc. even before the park opens and still be eligible for a boarding pass. You will just need to hope that you get a later boarding group, which could be difficult to time.

I guess the question is what day of the week will that be? On non MM days, backups last significantly longer, so you could wait until 8:01 or so and get an early-ish backup group. It would be a gamble, but so far the data seems to show at least 10 minutes of back-up groups remaining, so if you did that, you'd have a later time.

a question regarding wifi

it seems that everyone posting here uses their carrier connection rather than wifi....
has anyone tried using wifi?
does it not work?

when my daughter and i were at WDW in august, we had a very difficult time with the wifi..
but since our roaming package was terrible, we had no choice but to stick with the wifi..
as a result, we never succeeded in making a mobile counter service order, though we tried many times over the course of the 14 days we were there...
the wifi failed every single time..
i'm wondering if the same happens when trying to get a BG....

.

We were there opening weekend, and tried both Saturday and Sunday. We got BG 14 the first day and BG 27 the second day. We were a party of 4 and had 6 phones going (why not?!?). Four phones were on cellular data (3 Verizon and 1 AT&T (2 iphone XRs, one iPhone X, and one iphone 11), two phones on Wifi (one iPhone 7 and one iPhone X)). We had our teen aged daughters work 2 phones each since they have the fastest reflexes! First day, DD12 got it with her iPhone XR on Verizon. Second day, DD14 got it on the iPhone 7 on WiFi! I was shocked that the oldest phone, on WiFi, beat our other 5 phones but it did!! So there is definitely hope.

We split up, so that we could get hopefully good signal away from crowds, and we wanted to hedge the bet even within our family, not all standing in the same place.

The first morning, the Verizon cell service winning phone was by the Nemo subs. The second morning, the Wifi winning phone was by the gift shop outside of Buzz Lightyear. There were crowds lining up by the Buzz FP kiosks to try to get a BG that way, but we were away from them over by the tables for the restaurant behind Buzz. We had great Wifi signal there. @WonkaKid gave us the tip about where the best WiFi in the parks is. There is apparently another good area near POTC, but we couldn’t get there those mornings because of how they did rope drop.

I think you will have success, but do try to find a good signal strength prior to park opening. Follow all the other tips here (have all other apps closed etc) and MTFBWY!!!
