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

Sorry if this has been covered.

Can I enter DCA during EMH and try to get a boarding pass while inside DCA when DL opens, or do I have to head over to DL to try my luck?

You must scan through Disneyland first in order to secure a boarding group.

So far tracking just a smidge better than last Monday, which was really good. They seem to be maintaining a good pace of 11-12 bg/h. If they can avoid the dreaded early afternoon downtime, we may see all regular groups done before 3pm.

I don’t want to jinx it, but they are actually on pace to exceed the all time high!

What do you think are the chances to get a boarding group on Feb 18 (Tuesday) if I can't show up there until about 3pm? None point none?

I found the Coke Corner to be a good spot for me not using Wi-Fi (full bars). Using an iPhone 11 with Verizon, I got boarding groups of 22, 24, 23, and 26, last Thursday through Sunday. I opened the app about 5 minutes before park opening. I counted about 5 seconds after the clock switched to opening time of the day then clicked on the find out more and so on. Saturday was spectacular for uptime, I think they hit boarding group 100 by 5pm. Sunday, not so much, boarding group 26 was called almost at 1pm. Funny how they are doing the park opening countdown 5 minutes early to clear people out.

Zero...

No chance unfortunately. You have to be scanned into the park before the park opens for a chance.

Have they ever cycled through all backup groups?

 

[Elk Grove Chris]

I think they did last Saturday, then the ride shutdown around 10 pm-park closed at midnight.

We don't have any good way of knowing how many backup groups are actually issued on a given day, but it seems likely that on this past Saturday they may have when they got to group 141. However, they got there at 8:30pm, which is when they usually stop calling groups anyhow for a midnight close.

If you are hoping that on days where the groups are all accommodated that they will open up a standby line, I wouldn't hold my breath.

Even if they do, they won't reopen the groups - they'll just go into maintenance a little early.

What is the general consensus for arrival time to the front gates on a MM (when we don’t have MM). Heading there tomorrow and regular opening is 9am. Thank you!

No consensus but the range would be 7:45-8:15AM at the gates. Add time to get thru security based on your situation (no bag, stroller, GCH, etc.).

If it was me I would plan to for 8AM at security on a day like tomorrow. If you arrive a little later you are still likely to get in. But some people are nervous the whole time on whether they will get into DL on time. An 8AM at security should mean you won't have to feel nervous - and that is worth it to some/most people.

You jinxed it. The 2:30 curse returns...here's hoping for a quick cycle...

Employee of mine got 38 today - CMs said it was a light day. He was blown away while his 8 year old daughter was a little frightened but loved it.

So last Tuesday I arrived at the parking structure at 7:45am. Minimal lines at the structure and security, then big lines at the gate. Hopped in line at 8:20. Through the gates at 8:48 with 12 minutes to spare. I was sweating it a little when I got in line so you might want to show up a littler earlier than I did!

Did you take the tram or walk? The tram can be a hit or miss. Sometimes they don't bring a new empty tram right away. Although I haven't tried a tram at opening. I always feel stressed when there are tons of people waiting for the trams.
