Rise of the Resistance BOARDING GROUPS Superthread Part 2 *No Ride Spoilers Please* *PLEASE READ POSTS 1-3*

Be where the ATAT picture is that says join boarding group. If you're on the second screen, you'd have to refresh to get the blue join button and sometimes that's quite a bit slower.

Excellent, thank you!

Boarding groups closed between 2 and 2:10pm.

Excellent, thank you!

Android user here. I clear all running apps a few minutes before attempting to join a BG. (You could even do a reboot 10 minutes or so to make sure nothing is running that may slow you down.) Then I open the disneyland app and the android clock app. Make sure to have seconds enabled. Clock in foreground, disneyland in background with previously mentioned AT-AT screen ready to go. When clock gets to 6:59:59 switch to disneyland app (can double tap square button on bottom bar to do that) and hit "join boarding group". When I used this technique in the before-times I got a BG each of the three times I tried. And low BG numbers, too.

I have the Atomic Clock and Watch app that plays a beep for 5 seconds before the turn of the minute, so plan to have that running in the background and click join when the last beep sounds.

I also switch my phone to performance mode so it runs super fast. And I plan to connect to our 5g wifi signal which is lightning fast. Fingers crossed! My husband hasn't yet had a chance to ride and we really want to get him on it this Sunday! I'll be trying on his phone and mine simultaneously.

The one time we got to ride, we got BG #1, but that was so long ago!

I made the wrong choice lol. I am going on a Saturday, but I should have gone on a Thursday. All the rides are under 30 minutes and the boarding groups for rise was open for 2 hours. That is amazing.

 

[Ferrellcon]

Wow! Group 162 and we got an hour left.

 

[Ferrellcon]

Looks like 165 was the last number for today.

CHART of the Jedi:

Quite the day! Looks like just one short 30 minute down time, but up the rest of the time. And 2 hours at the noon distribution? It was interesting to watch the estimated wait time go back and forth as time moved forward but passes got picked up.

With one week in the books, and with capacity reduced by a fair factor, the attraction seems to be doing well. Fair to say that almost everyone who wanted to get on it today was able to.

Question about return times. When I was there the other day we got called back at 4:40 or so. I know I have an hour from then to return. We had 5:10 reservations at Cafe Orleans and a dog with us that just makes things move a little slower. There was no way we could ride and be back in time for our reservations, and no time to eat and get over to the ride before the end of the window. If you return after your window because of dining reservations, will they let you still ride?

On a side note, we did ride it the day before. We are going back in June so I want to figure out our options in case it happens again.

Yes - just show them your receipt from Cafe Orleans afterward and you should be fine. (The messaging from CMs is that you should prioritize the ADR.)

Boarding group drop was active for 50 seconds today.

Thanks! That was what I was hoping. I did a screen shot of my reservations and boarding pass (didn't know if that disappeared after the hour window) but we didn't end up going back to the land to find out. Decided to just hang out and enjoy the last hour or two doing other things.

Awesome! I played around with it this morning and was able to get through to the “you don’t have a park reservation” twice. Feeling much better about our chances when it’s our actual turn.

Love these windows!

Pre-Covid, did groups get snatched up in less than a minute or was it easier like the past two days?

1:30 & groups show close, I don’t know when they finally did close,
