RotR Planning & Daily Boarding Group Discussion - *CLOSED*

[Rich M]

This is the first trackless ride in the US. Soon WDW will have three trackless rides with Ratatouille and Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway. Each ride tells it’s own story.

I of course haven’t ridden yet but I would say this is the top ride in the US if not the world in terms of just tech. It’s up to each person to decide whether it’s compelling to them.

I also don’t know how one could declare a ride not yet open more compelling. Beauty and the Beast will surely be fantastic in Tokyo however it’s not simply because of AAs. RotR has three A1000 AAs which are of the level that will be in Beauty and the Beast.

Great information. Very excited to be there in 2 days.

I guess I don't understand.... Can You not get in line for this ride like all the others? What is being called mean?

I (shockingly) loved Pooh's Honey Hunt. When I rode it, I didnt know how awesome trackless was. I am hoping RotR is just as good.

For now, you have to have a boarding pass to get into standby. We have no idea if this system will continue. If you dont have a BP, you are out of luck today.

As of today no you cannot just line up. They have boarding groups in action which is a virtual line. Visit the pinned threads for more information. When you are at DHS you enter the virtual queue/boarding groups via the app. Your group number will then be called.

OH NO I don't like this at ALL!!!!!!

To avoid a 5+ hour line and having to clear the queue when there is a breakdown this is the best option.

How do you do this? We are coming the first of Feb and need to know what to do... This sounds difficult

Disney is currently not expecting to be able to load every single group by days end.

Think about it.
It's either getting in a virtual queue, so you can go and do other things while you wait. Or physically wait in line and not be able to do anything else for hours

Not difficult at all. Go to the pinned threads at the top of this board to learn more. Its all on the app. You can see it now on your phone if you have it downloaded.

Why not? It's basically a "day of" Fast Pass...like old school Fast Pass system only you don't need to go all the way to the kiosk, AND, there's no standby line.
The alternative would be to stand in line for 7 hours.

Check on MDE and it'll give you the details

Not a Tech person sorry...

I haven't been to Japan (yet) so haven't ridden that but have been to Hong Kong and Mystic Manor is the best Disney attraction I have ever been on so will be interesting to see how I feel after getting to ride RotR

Agreed - I think this is a FAR better system than what happened with FoP when it opened. Guests benefit from not spending an entire day in a line, and Disney benefits by having guests spending more time in other parts of the park eating and spending rather than waiting in a line

 

[wdw&sonny]

Seems they're averaging about 10 boarding groups per hour...

OK

I suggest downloading the My Disney Experience app if you don't already have it and play around with the app especially looking through the Star Wars aspect and where you go to join a boarding group.

I would take this for every ride if it meant not waiting in long lines and I could go check out other things. I think every ride for the 3 to 5 year old range offered this to avoid the potty run and the melt down.
