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

Any idea what the lowest BG is, assuming it’s not starting at 1?

No clue until they start to board

The D23 live stream just ended, so maybe open soon?

DHS is having a rough morning

Yeah saw that. I had an issue like that Tuesday. Was going to do AK that day but when to DHS first and got like BG 15 and then after an hour the ride was still closed so decided to start heading toward AK anyway.. Of course as soon as I exit the park and am almost to my car I get the notification my group was called (about an hour and a half past park opening).

The ride is definiely pretty unreliable right now but it is an amazing ride. Hope a bunch in DLR do get to ride today.

We’re 46!

Can confirm that refreshing the status page didn’t work, but I quickly went back to the homepage using the back button, and that worked fine.

n00b here watching from home to prep for my visit next weekend. Has anyone posted screenshots or vids showing what exactly this means and what the status page is? If BGs are gonna run out in 52 seconds then I wanna be sure I do it right!

Also it seems like my strategy for all 3 in park days is gonna be to start at DLP so we get 3 trys to get a BG for RotR!

DLR boarding groups all gone for RotR in 3 mins today. Opening day.

It’s opening day and a holiday weekend. BGs are not usually going to run out in 52 seconds. I promise.

For those saying the refresh button doesn’t work, do you need to exit out of the app completely and reopen it, or just click on the RotR “find out more” link from the main page in the app in order to get a boarding group? We’ll be going next week and the stress is already getting to me

 

[Mathmagicland]

Did anyone try getting a BG today outside of Disneyland, ie scan ticket & then leave the park to join the BG?

 

[Skyegirl1999]

Phew - I was getting nervous after not hearing from you Glad you guys got a good group!

I had to feed the small person before I could post.

There are apparently lots of videos on YouTube, but be careful, since many of them contain spoilers. There may be links on the first two pages of the DHS RotR thread, but I'm not 100% sure about that.

The main page.

They did a morning EMH at WDW in December (with a different process in place than the current one) and it was a total disaster; .

Wasn't a disaster for me. I got on 5 rides in the morning and got boarding group 2. Sorry to anyone else that it was not good for.

Yeah. DHS had a few days at about a minute during the holidays but has stabilized right now at about 15 minutes for regular BGs which means anybody inside the park at opening time can get a guaranteed BG. I expect DLR will likely settle to something similar in a few weeks.

So this is going to sound like a dumb question. I saw that we should have as many devices going at once. I normally do all the app stuff for my Mom and I. I can ensure the app is loaded on her phone too, but silly question, would she need her own login/password and then our APs linked on her phone too? And then do I make sure our 2 accounts are linked together? Or can I log both phones in with my information knowing the passes are all there?

Seems like they’ve got the characters vamping, promoting crowd to cheer, etc.

App is calling group 12.

I just came back from WDW and got a low BG number 3 days in a row there. This is how I did it. Obviously YMMV.

Day 1 - closed disney app. opened watch app with second hand and the second it it 7:00:00 launched disney app, did find out more and button was lit. Got around BG15.
Day 2 - closed disney app. Open watched app with second hand and launched disney app a few seconds before 7:00:00. At find out more BG button wasn't lit but did my status and was lit and joined and got around 19
Day 3 - Had app running but in the background on the home screen. Again watched watch at and exactly 7:00:00 switched to disney app, hit find out more and button was lit. BG 8.

So my experience was going into the app right at opening worked better then trying to refresh over and over. On day 3 there was a guy beside be reshesing my status and the button never lit.

I know of quite a few people who log into the same account on multiple phones and have no issues.

We are there next week too and I’m dying from the anxiety this is all causing me

 

[smercerdiemont]

This a tiny bit off topic - but how is the opening affecting magic morning/ extra magic hours? I don’t know how it could be enforced with so many people coming in early for a BG.
