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

[Erin M]

I never got a notice for back ups, but it all went gray at 9:01. Until that time I was able to join regular boarding groups. Just playing along from home though.

After about 45-50 seconds by the looks of it

Boarding Group 36. Verizon on Galaxy S7 using 4g data. Was standing next to It's a Small World.

I played along from home... and could have grabbed a BP for a full minute... but not much more maybe 10 seconds... then the button greyed out and even with restarting the app I can’t get a backup BP... button remains grey...

 

[Ferrellcon]

It was gray when i checked at 9:02. Another fast day.

 

[Katniss Mellark]

Did it flip to backups at 9:01 or 9:02?

I was practicing at home. I started getting the backup group message just before 9:01.

I just modified my FP+ for mid-March. What I saw was many guests swapping Slinky Dog for Smugglers. Snagged Slinky Dog FP+ that were not there prior to today.

My friend was not able to get a Slinky to match mine. i texted her this AM to tell her to try to get Slinky now!

Exactly what happened to me

 

[B3rlingirl]

If they don’t release any backup groups today it’s certainly an interesting development... especially after yesterday...

We’re sitting at Starbucks in DCA and just got BG10. Tried to do EMH at DL for the first time in 17 years but the lines seemed super long so we decided to leave after riding Alice.

ETA: We have iPhone 11 Pro Max’s with AT&T. This time we both used cellular data not the WiFi which seemed to be hit or miss at the time.

What I like to see is that everyone who gets into the park has the same shot and it doesn't seem like there is a bunch of people waiting to get through security and missing out because of being in line at the gate. We are going January 31st and February 1st and hoping to get on once.

 

[Ferrellcon]

They are a little more confident today. 81 and above are backup.

Wow. So you were able to join a boarding group inside CA?

 

[Abbey1]

Im rooting for you! Let us know how it goes! MTFBWY

Got group 34. It’s a Star Wars Miracle. Can’t wait. Thanks to everyone for their advice!

Someone confirmed yesterday that as long as you have scanned into Disneyland you can then go into dca and still get a group.

Great to know

According to a report earlier in this thread it’s not a problem to scan into DL first and than go to DCA afterwards...
but one has to be scanned into DL that day to be able to get a BP

 

[Eighty8Keys]

Only after scanning into DL first. We did this yesterday and got BG 8 so decided to try it again today.

Though the question is how many (if any) backup boarding groups they released...

Did they even offer backup BGs? It seems when trying from home to see how fast it goes it never mentioned backup groups. It just greyed out after about a minute. I thought it mentions backups after they've filled the non-backups.
