DHS Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway confirmed

Is it just me or is it a bit excessive to have a sign that large so close to the ground? You'd think they'd mount it higher so its more noticeable? Or make it smaller if they want it right above the doorway?

Edit: Or better yet, move it out to the front side areas like the GMR signs were.
The sign looks nice but I thought they were also planning on putting something up on the side of the building similar to the GMR signs

You can always import the current parade from Disneyland when they get retired next month.

I suppose a used parade might not be out of the question, and sure would be better than having nothing at all for the 50th. If they did bring another parade over as a interim parade until the 100th, I’d be ok with that, again better than continuing to have no light parade.

That’s from a desire to minimize the distribution of guest recovery packages (park hopper+Fastpass)

Lots of other things. For example, boarding group size (and rate of retention) is variable.

Was it ever confirmed boarding group size is variable? I don’t remember that ever being true, and if so....why?

Besides, your claim is bad. There would be no desire to minimize guest recovery if the ride had actually made decent progress in reliability. Instead, some of our worst days have been more recent.

Why will DHS be insane when MMRR opens? It's not like there is some huge pent-up demand for this ride. I'm sure it will be busy the first day or two and then settle into a more reasonable wait time. And I say all that as someone who will be there about 4 days after it opens, so I have a vested interest in the ride not having insanely long wait times. ;)

Sometimes you have to take two steps backwards to take one step forward, especially in development lifecycles. It very well could be they anticipate larger crowds coming up, and with February (typically) the slowest month, they could be using it to test the system (from a developer side) trying to get kinks worked out before the next surge in crowds. Thus the "take two steps back to take a step forward". This is not highly unusual in complex technical systems. Would also explain the lower guarenteed boarding groups on week days (when the bulk of their developers work, and I am sure Disney wants to avoid too much overtime for software developers) and the more breakdowns during the week. yes most often you want to push changes in off hours, but sometimes that is not possible when you want to see the effects right away (especially with agile development and challenges to real world simulation for a system like this in a development area).

My guess is that they'll start out with a tier system: there will be boarding groups for both MMMR and Rise of the Resistance, but you can only get in a boarding group for 1 of them.

If so hopefully it will help with the Rise demand and actually make it doable to get a boarding group. Same will go for getting a MMRR boarding group. The problem will be if MMRR fails and is unpopular, then boarding groups will not last long and then we go right back to square one with a high demand for Rise.
