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

[Ferrellcon]

Talk to a CM, but the general understanding is they don’t let you leave once you’ve checked in. If you do leave you lose your BG, you cannot return. You c am leave for bathroom breaks, but someone in the party needs to stay in line and be sure you check in and out with a CM.

What if your by yourself?

I am thinking about giving this boarding group thing a try tomorrow. Anyone else planning going? What are your plans??

Going with my wife. Leaving LA at 6, dropping her off, parking at a hotel. Scanning in and out of Disney and going to a low traffic spot in downtown Disney while my wife, who doesn’t trust leaving the park, is going to brave getting a group near a ticketing kiosk in case the whole system crashes.
Divide and conquer.

I am planning for tomorrow. I have done this twice already. Thinking of being at parking lot around 6:30ish and then get in early. Will most likely exit the park once scanned in to get my boarding group. That worked much better than trying in the park for me.

Sounds like a great plan. I guess I would need to leave that earlier to get there on time I think they have extra magic hours tomorrow too. Leaving the park might be a great idea. Is this your first attempt?

First attempt. We are getting there super early because 1. Wife paranoia. 2. In-laws have the baby so this is kind of our only shot.

Nice! I think I will try leaving the park as well. Especially with extra magic hours

The Jawas got in a little early today. But already 85 Let's see if reset gets going before 245

Mando is on patrol it would seem...

I guess he took an early lunch.

Perhaps the Jawas are just jealous because they are not tall enough to ride? Going on an hour and ten minutes of downtime now.

 

[ironband74]

What's wild is that they are still above the all time high and if they get started in the next 10 minutes will still be above it.

And as long as they get it started by 4:15, they'll still be doing better than the best Friday on record so far.

I have spoken.

 

[ironband74]

They just reset the callback to 68. This suggests that they are back up and running. Can anyone on the ground confirm?

 

[montreid]

Kind of sad that we're in holding pattern. Was excited to see if we'd break 130 today.

 

[brightlined]

What if your by yourself?

As a Solo, I've been debating that with myself. I think the best answer would be to talk to the people adjacent to where you are in line and see if they'll hold your spot, then tell the CMs that your spot in line is being held. (Maybe half-fib and say that your "friends" are holding your spot. I mean, we're all friends at Disneyland, right? )

That's how I would play it. Maybe while getting in line make friends with another solo so you can have each other's back should it come to it.

We're heading up there this evening - was hoping reservations would close so could stop by to see the action -- but alas flex closed today already!

 

[montreid]

Mando cleared them

 

[ironband74]

Looks like it is limping along...

I have succeeded in getting preliminary authorization for a two day visit on April 15/16! This might actually happen...

 

[nutz2notz]

Does anyone know if the Toy Story lot is still opening earlier than 6:30am?

Looks like they are just trying to stay at the high water mark.

 

[Skyegirl1999]

I think they both open at 6:30 now.

 

[ironband74]

Wow, they are slaying the all time high now. It's already the best Friday on record. Curious to see how many boarding groups were given out today.
