For me it's more stressful when im helping from home. Im assuming there are a lot more people trying these next 3 days

When you are helping from home do you just have to log in as the person you are helping

log into their MDE or if you share plans you can do it that way too

My friend with BG 20 was called around 8:50am. Wait time was around 35-40 mins. FWIW.

Thank you so much. I want to try to help my nephew when he goes later this year. I appreciate your help

MTFBWY. Post your BG number.

We got BG 55. It was actually much more stressful than I expected. We had 4 phones and only one got through. Two of us never got the red button and one kept throwing errors at the select people screen. We’re in line now so it all worked out but whew!

 

[basketlacey]

Wow! What a ride! We were called at 1:15 and it was almost exactly an hour from when we walked through the entrance until we got back off the ride. Phenomenal! I’m really glad I didn’t have any spoilers so thanks to the mods here!

We go (hopefully) May 13-16. Get there early and leave for the airport late. I’m doing my FP tomorrow and I’m having a hard time deciding if only one morning to try for a BG is enough...

we have PPO reservations for 2 days and even though we arrive in Orlando at 6:50am unless we uber and skip DME we’d never make it inside of HS before 9am - if hours stay the same. We will be at BWI so close by but am I taking a big chance to only have one shot at RotR???

*PPO breakfasts are at MK and EP because we only like a couple of rides there and can get on them with relative ease and save our FP for AK and HS. Maybe we should skip the garden grill reservation and try for 4+ FP at EP since we are so close ???

Thx for relocating my post!

short question- should I plan on having more than one morning to attempt a BG??? TIA!!

I would think about it. Obviously more than one doesn’t hurt.

Also, you'd be giving yourself a chance to ride it again after the first time . . . because you WILL want to!

Monday was supposed to be our first day in the parks. Once the closures were announced, we considered still going to visit family and stick to resort-only trip. But this morning we made the call to cancel altogether.

We already had an October visit scheduled and may try to book something this summer if possible (although I'm not enthused by the heat if go then). It will be interesting to see if BGs are still in effect when we finally do get down there.

I just had the unhappy experience of seeing my DVC trip countdown (which was at 2 this morning) tick down to 211!

Depends on your priorities. If you “need” to get on ROTR to make or break one of your family members trip because they love Star Wars, or just really want to ride it, I would not chance it to just one day. When I went for a short trip in Dec and Jan, riding it was important to my daughter so we planned everything else around trying to get BG’s and having back-up days. We ended up needing the back up day because we happened to be there on a particularly “down” day as far as capacity goes.

So is an uber ride to my resort worth the $$ for an extra chance to get a BG? I’m confident we could be at HS by 8:15am if we skip DME and maybe get a chance to RD smugglers run... it sounds like everyone really likes RotR - maybe $30 is worth it!!

 

[lisbeth74]

My brother & his family are there today. Got them BG 14 from home here in OH. So excited for them!

 

[only hope]

Anyone there today?

If you show up early enough to your bus stop- 2 hours before park open to be safe- you’d be fine. A lot of people have reported that there was one early bus and then not another for a long time, which left people getting into the park just before open if they were lucky.

But people have also reported trouble getting an uber or lyft to show up because so many people are trying to get a ride. Prescheduling reports have been mostly good.

We got BG 6 today and got called maybe 10 min ago? Just walked up to get on and the ride is down. App still says it’s open I think. Told us to come back “later” and they’ll let us on anytime.

Teenagers! My husband and I practiced from home and have iPhone 11s. My 17 year old has an iPhone 8 and literally downloaded the app today. She got BG 24. Standing near Hollywood and Vine and on data.
Thank you everyone on this thread for all the tips!

 

[doconeill]

Whoa... They started with BG 1!

 

[lisbeth74]

Ride back up and now delayed again per my sister-in-law. They got snacks after the first disturbance.

Backups still available at 9:15.
