READ POST 1 & 2 FIRST-Rise of the Resistance Boarding Group Planning and Information-*No Spoilers*

[Freshman]

What are you using the any FP on? Lol. I'd ride RotR again if it were me, lol

Used on TS mania. Didn’t think I could use on Rise again.

I read your question slightly differently so I just wanted to add on to @yulilin3 's response. When the PP said they were "backup group #70", that's not to say they were the 70th backup group. They got Boarding Group #70 and backups, today, started at like #64. Hope that helps.

Yes, thank you THIS is what I meant. I didn't understand if they were both one in the same, which apparently they are 2 different things.

I figured that was the case, but thought I’d ask.

Just to confirm, you were able to join a BG before it turned actually to 8am?

Yep I’m almost positive I got it before 8 am. My screenshot for my phone after I had the BG locked in was 8:00 am.

OK, our time is coming! Our family (DW, DD12, DD8) will be at DW starting tomorrow! We’re staying at Boardwalk Villas and have flexible plans with planning to over to HS 3-4 times in the morning. We are all BIG Star Wars fans and visited Batuu this past October, so we are all really excited to see RotR after having a blast this past fall with everything.
I have been reading this thread every day and we feel we are well prepared, but I keep stressing to my family that we need to keep our expectations in check with all the issues that could pop up. Either way, I’ll post our experiences to help others for future trips.

It’s so nice to see two decent days in a row again! Keep it up, ROTR.

They don’t start the rope drop crowd moving until 1-2 min after opening, everyone gets their BG and then the lines move. We were toward the front but not super close, and we waited about 20 min for SDD after getting a BG.

Thanks! Glad I won't have to walk while trying to get a BG!

My best advice is to have multiple devices going. If the kids have phones or tablets let them bring them and make sure they are trained in getting BG’s

I guess 108 might be it for the day.

Thanks! Yes, we’ll have 3 phones going for it. We’ve been practicing too, so we’re hoping for the best!

The Chart has been updated with today's performance on Post #2 - https://www.disboards.com/threads/r...ad-post-1-2-no-spoilers.3782822/post-61352143

106 total Boarding Groups were called - 61 Regular, 45 Backup

They flew through Regulars at a massive per hour rate then hit a few snags during afternoon operations which brought down the BG per hour rate - 8.8 today vs 9.8 yesterday. Still a decent performance relatively speaking.

My girlfriend was in the park tonight and was in group 108 and believes she was the last boarding group called. They got a notification at 4:59pm and had to be there by 6:59pm but once in line it went down. Then back up. Finally got thru and off at 7:50pm.

 

[keishashadow]

8:00- my wife, who has no idea what she’s doing grabbed BG5

She did a mighty stellar job for one ‘...who has no idea what she’s doing...”

Hope you thanked her for having such fast fingers.

You do realize that will give her bragging rights until the next trip, right? LOL

 

[keishashadow]

Rejoining the fun sooner than I had expected. Sneaking down for (hopefully) our 3rd time on RoTR this weekend . Trying for Sunday & if it doesn’t pan out on Monday as a back up

Experienced with crowds on President’s Day & Daytona race weekends. Do have concerns tossing Valentine’s Day into the mix is going to be off the chart.

Going to stick to the script: drive, arrive to bag check by 6:15 am (although i’m Not bringing a bag this time, won’t stress if not there till 6:30 am) & then just hope for the bestest

I’m assuming you have your reasons for arriving that early, but just making sure you’re aware park opening is 8am.

 

[JStu]

Try #2 this am. Left beach club at 650. Caught the boat this time! Will update after security. Hopefully I can help another family or two be successful this am. Way warmer this AM btw, 63 when we left, on the way to a high of 85!

 

[mattpeto]

This seems like common sense, but I’d like to see if anyone did this. Can anyone confirm you are able to enter the park before opening and leave immediately and still try to get the Boarding Pass at 8 am?

We have FoP FP early in AM and don’t want to risk losing it.

Standing by home from home to get a BG for my parents, sister, and nephews who are at DHS today!

Yes you can.

Yes you can do that, I haven’t but there have been many reports of others doing it successfully.
