Rise of the Resistance -- With a one day ticket do I have to be at the park to try to get a boarding group at 7 a.m.

If I make a reservation for Hollywood Studio and get a one day -- think we'll try for next Sunday Sept. 19th (crowd level 1 day per touring plans), can we try for a Rise of the Resistance Boarding group at 7 a.m. from our offsite condo? Or are we out of luck until we actually have our tickets scanned to be in the park, which I think would leave us just having to try at 1 p.m. due to park operating hours. Park hours are listed as being 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. and we will just have a one day ticket.

For 7am boarding pass drop, you can be anywhere. Just need a HS park reservation. It’s the afternoon drop that you have to be tapped into the park for.

Thanks so much. I appreciate your clarifying that.

Since the park isn't open at 7, no, you don't need to be in the park.

Our flight gets into MCO around 4PM and taking DME to Pop. So I can't try for a boarding group round#2 at 1PM because I am not yet
in the park. Was trying to get on RoR. Is that correct? I know about the 7AM phoning from outside the park but wasnt clear about the 1PM. I
I do have a park reservation for that day even though I wont get to FL until 4PM.

You have to tap into the park for the 1 pm boarding groups . You could try for the 7 am boarding group and then try to see if they still let you on if your boarding group time has already passed.

Would separate the die hards if you had to be in the park while they were closed.

Is there any word if Remys procedure will be similar?

We did Hollywood Studios on Dec. 24th, 2019 (Crowd level 10 day). And we got our Rise of the Resistance boarding group on first try super early, but back then you had to be near the park even though rides weren't open yet and you could get in the park super early then even though rides weren't running (couldn't do it from an offsite condo like you can now). That's almost two years ago though and the ride hadn't been open that long (pretty new). The change in procedures from then to now is what I needed to make sure I understood correctly, so thanks again everyone.

It will be interesting to see the difference in the feel of the park from a crowd level 10 day to a crowd level 1 day lol. We actually, though, despite crowds had a really great time and fabulous day there Christmas week 2019.
