Why is it closed for rain? Isn’t it all inside?(?). We are BG 36. Just got to the ride entrance due to the rain and it is closed. We are told we can come back anytime the rest of the day and be let in.

It wasn’t closed due to the rain.Why is it closed for rain? Isn’t it all inside?
If the code starts with INT or M00 then yes. You'll have to visit Guest Relations on the day you plan to use the ticket to have it issued. It's under that file number, which is the easiest way for them to find it, but they can also search with name/address/etc.
I wonder if more ride stress testing could be done prior ride opening. I'm sure its expensive and logistically challenging, particularly since the land is already open, but so is comps and PR and hits to customer sat. Would love to be behind the scenes to see to what degree technical modifications are being done on the fly yet (or overnight).
This was from a few pages ago lol.
Does that mean no way to get 30 or 60 day FPs with this comp ticket? That kinda sucks.
**Timeline 12/13/19**
Woke up: 5:05 am
Got in Uber at 5:30am at VGF
Dropped off at 5:50 am at HS
Through security (no bag) and in line by 5:56am
We got BG 21.
Got Starbucks.
Rode ToT - while in line our BG ping came through at 7:30ish.
Rode RNRC.
Made way over to ROTR ride was down came back up probably 25mins later.
Seamless ride through.
IMO best ride/experience by Disney or any other theme park operator both domestic and internationally. Beats Mystic Manor etc for me. The whole “experience” is top of the line. They hit it out of the park.
When we entered, we tried for about a minute with no luck. We found a CM close by with an iPad who scanned our 3 magic bands and gave us our boarding group. The process with the CM was very quick and painless.Thanks for the info. I would have panicked!!
It seems possible to run more people through the attraction privately before opening. But that means a longer period of ride development and associated costs. Easier to just have the guests serve as the guinea pigs.Nope
Thx for posting. How much time do you estimate driving saved you? 10 mins? I'm debating this myself for our trip.
Just reread the context of your post. It was pouring and couldn’t make it to the entrance without getting drenched. When we got to the entrance, it was closed. The cast member at the entrance mentioned with the lightning on the area and other factors, he didn’t know when it would open back up.Why is it closed for rain? Isn’t it all inside?
You get a PUSH notification in the app when your BG is open. Then you have 2 hours to get back to the ride.Was just wondering, is there an app phone notification for calling your boarding pass? Or do they have an automated phone call or is it a text? I can wake up at 5am to get the boarding pass but I will have to go back and nap to last through the rest of the day. Will there be a pop up notification so my phone can be set to make an alarm so that I can wake up to head over within 2hrs? Or do I have to stay awake and babysit the app?
The best way to avoid a future mishap for people who get comp tickets - reassign the ticket in MDE to someone else (preferably not visiting the park). You can always reassign back to yourself in the future, but this way it won't accidentally scan when you are using your normal tickets.The comp tickets they are giving out can be used to book fast passes. Wareagles’ is different because Disney used the comp ticket instead of the AP so Guest Relations issued a paper ticket with a code.
There are 2 ways in which to join a BG:Sorry, I have been reading and I think I want to make sure I understand.
So-me people they go out to a CM to get a boarding group, and but I thought once you enter the park you can just refresh my Disney experience and join via the app?
or am I missing something?
can someone confirm the process
There are 2 ways in which to join a BG:
1. Use your app
2. Find a Guest Experience CM to assist
Choose either one.
