    Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance opening reports and using Boarding Groups at Disneyland

    I'm talking about the space taken up to the right hand side of the FP entrance or even down the middle of the entrance that you simply walk by and stay to the left of. Before you get to the scan point, on the left side you do walk through a couple switchbacks that are formed by rocks, however...

    Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance opening reports and using Boarding Groups at Disneyland

    Got to make up for not riding a few days ago! Scanned into the ride at 9:13, off ride 9:34am. Everything was working except the audio for Lieutenant Bek at unload because it was a little backed up, and the audio trigger didn't fire right. A small bug I'm sure. I wonder if the BGs still being...

    Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance opening reports and using Boarding Groups at Disneyland

    I agree with this 100%, and I am also surprised they also built such a big beautiful waste of space (at least on the West Coast where space is a luxury). It's amazing to look at, but it's hard not to imagine switchbacks in the place of all that rockwork!

    Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance opening reports and using Boarding Groups at Disneyland

    Good question! They told me they couldn't move his number up to mine (totally understandable), but if i didn't use mine on time and instead showed up when his number got called, it wouldn't be an issue (that didn't end up happening, but I doubt they would have given me trouble).

    Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance opening reports and using Boarding Groups at Disneyland

    My (much younger) 11 year old brother is a big fan of Blue Bayou. But still he watches YouTube on his phone. Of course headphones are required, as they are at home when he wants to watch stuff while he eats. I don't understand how people would ruin the amazing atmosphere of the Blue Bayou with...

    Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance opening reports and using Boarding Groups at Disneyland

    It really all comes down to your signal and clicking as quickly as you can through the screens like it's an arcade game. It appears to load extremely quickly for them in the video. They aren't doing anything else different. For example, with my Sprint, one time I tried to get my group right...

    Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance opening reports and using Boarding Groups at Disneyland

    Not a good day for Rise after its fantastic first half... Last number was 114 at 7pm. I pulled 4 but waited all day to ride with my friend who was visiting and got 120 after getting in a few minutes late, so neither of us got to ride. Oh well. It's not going anywhere 🙂

    Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance opening reports and using Boarding Groups at Disneyland

    Yesterday was bumpy but Rise is off to its best start ever today, still holding at slightly above 16 groups per hour average for the day so far. The ride opened at 8:45am today and for the second day in a row used its new system of calling multiple groups at a time to start the day. It started...

    Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance opening reports and using Boarding Groups at Disneyland

    Yes it did! It shut down extra early last night (an hour earlier then usual), so maybe that helped. They also have changed their boarding group processing system slightly as of today! When the ride opened, instead of a fast trickle of numbers being called every other minute, they called a whole...

    Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance opening reports and using Boarding Groups at Disneyland

    Yes, there have been a few days they have begun boarding before 9am. I could have said 90-95% of the time instead. It was an estimate. Just how when I said the ride doesn't stay open later than 9:30, I wasn't saying "that has never happened," I was saying that is what happens pretty much every...

    Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance opening reports and using Boarding Groups at Disneyland

    Actually, the data posted right above mine backs me up - I said the ride doesn't open before 9 and doesn't stay open past 9pm. In that post and today, the ride opened at 9:45am and called it's last number at 7:35 (ended boarding at 8:35) - after 9am and before 9:30pm... So I'm not sure if you...

    Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance opening reports and using Boarding Groups at Disneyland

    Here's my thinking on the hours of operation on this thing. Here's what we know (or at least I have ascertained from various forums, CMs, etc): They work on the ride from the moment they close it till the moment they open it (about 12 hours is the estimate many people have given). The first...

    Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance opening reports and using Boarding Groups at Disneyland

    Today was also a perfect day! It's first ever maybe? Zero breakdowns! Just appeared to be short some vehicles. It did open around 30 minutes later than usual (opened at 9:45). That's also 4 days in a row with extremely high uptime. I'd argue this is a fully armed and operational Death Star! 🎉🎊

    News New Parade: Magic Happens

    That Moana float looks too bright (I know it's probably the camera but I think I saw a video too). They should put it back to its "broken" state it was yesterday lol, that at least looked like a real wave.

    News New Parade: Magic Happens

    I saw the 1pm parade yesterday and saw the beginning of the 5pm by accident when I re-entered Disneyland. Based on that video, the float had the issue during both showings. But nice to see what it's supposed to look like! I already thought it was the best float of the parade Cool! I was a fan...

    Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance opening reports and using Boarding Groups at Disneyland

    Off the ride, my friend got the "B side" for the first time so he was excited, and most of the ride was working except for something interesting I hadn't seen before. The cannons in the gun room were down, so instead of the explosions happening out the windows space was pretty empty. Also what I...

    Here on my birthday, pulled boarding group 6. Entered the queue at the end of my time, currently stuck broken down. I know it's worth it though!

    Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance opening reports and using Boarding Groups at Disneyland

    It looks like the ride made a miraculous comeback tonight. I'm guessing all vehicles are back online as they got the pace back up, hopefully they can keep it that way and have high throughput again this week like they did the week before last.

    News Star Wars Galaxy's Edge Disneyland opening reports/reviews

    Everyone wants to back Disney's idea to come up with original storytelling, and I can see the reasoning. But that's just not what people expected or even wanted. People wanted the Star Wars they know and love. And so here we are. The question is, will Disney eventually give in, or dig their...
