RotR Planning & Daily Boarding Group Discussion - *CLOSED*

I can’t see that happening. If you thought it was crazy now, can you imagine what it would be like if they suddenly told people they were going to open the standby line. You would have a six hour wait at the beginning of extra magic hours within the first five minutes!
They just have to do it selectively or reopen a limited number of boarding groups.

And that's certainly a fair point. I think we're all still gonna sit here on the thread and wait for actual on the ground reports of what happens if the line ends up empty during tonight's EMH and the ride is not down. :D
 

I think the best way to handle leftover time at the end of the night, if they don’t want to use the time for maintenance, is to either let working HS cm’s on breaks enter through backstage and/or quietly approach select people and invite them over. Maybe people clearly having the time of their life in BSO, people with celebration pins, people who are being extra-appreciative of the cm’s, etc etc.
 
I am not going to be in Florida until tonight but when I open MDX I can see the screen that shows boarding group number and the greyed out "join boarding group" button. When I get
there tomorrow with my party of 9 people and we all tap in, do I hit the "join boarding group" button first and then pick my family members? I am so worried I am going to do something
in the wrong order. Also, if I have problems do I go to any CM or are there special ones that can help me join a group?

Like everyone else said, u just choose join boarding group and then pick ur party. One thing u should note, when u go to pick ur party, it's very possible that someone doesn't show their in the park even though they definitely are. If this happens I would suggest to just remove them from ur group and go ahead and get ur boarding group and then go find a CM immediately and have them either add ur party or just assign a new group with everyone. If ur there early enough and there no fear of not getting a boarding group, then u can simply just try to keep resetting the mde app for a few more minutes to see if everyone eventually shows up. Just be prepared with a plan on how ur going to handle any mishaps, boarding groups seem to go fast. Good luck.
 
How does using the restroom work when you're that far in the queue? Did they give out bathroom passes that were mentioned months ago, where one of your party members waits in line? Or is there some kind of restroom in the queue near the front?
The bathrooms are out back. They are most likely for CMs. This afternoon chewie was having some fun and stood in line for the bathroom with us. They are 2 single bathrooms.
 
Here now. Spoke at length with CM. RotR not open for EMH tonight. Waiting in line for Smugglers Run. Area looks great at night. And it’s not horribly crowded.
So they got thru all BGs and any FP returners then? The good news is tomorrow gets a nice fresh start then!

Also - thanks for the report. Definitely a shame they didn’t do some surprise pixie dust BUT I guess in the good news dept, at least Disney didn’t “lie” for once 🤣

I think the BG’s are done for tonight. No one was going in while we were chatting with the CM at the entrance to the ride.
