    Got an early fastpass for Slinky tomorrow morning so going to try for my fifth ride. Traffic builds up bad in my area so I have to leave home a bit early and was wondering if park gate opening is still about 6:30am? Thinking about sitting in my car and chilling in the lot until gates open to...

    DHS Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance Standby Line and Boarding Groups at Disney's Hollywood Studios

    I would be shocked if they don’t use a system similar to this especially for Guardians of the Galaxy or Tron. Those two I feel like are going to be highly anticipated just like Rise and will benefit from a boarding group like system for the first few months before switching over to normal...

    DHS Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance Standby Line and Boarding Groups at Disney's Hollywood Studios

    Yeah I completely understood why she was telling people to do it but tourist around me didn’t. One man behind me was particularly upset which of course set off some others. Everyone calmed down after a bit but unfortunately it takes upsetting the wrong person to cause a scene eventually. The...

    Lol so uhhhh we weren’t rescued after about 5 min and are now back in the hallway waiting for a new room. We’re all just cracking jokes with CM bouncing back and forth with us. Interesting experience for all these first timers for sure. Edit: group called and entered line at 7:35 Went into...

    DHS Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance Standby Line and Boarding Groups at Disney's Hollywood Studios

    Don’t think it was just you. After I got my boarding group the app wouldn’t take me back to the home page so I closed it then tried opening it again. It opened but then suggested I didn’t actually have a group (mini panic attack!). Tried opening and closing app a few more times before it ended...

    Boarding group 18! Opened app right at 7 then kept flipping back and forth from screen to join BG until it loaded.

    Some fun advice for today that a fellow guest just shared with us around her. At 6:36 this morning a rocket is launching! If you have views of the sky at that time, look East cause you’ll be able to see a rocket going up into space! As someone who grew up in Florida, they’re pretty cool to see...

    You’re probably slightly before me then! I’m in the third line from the right (I think third? I’m short so can’t see over everyone lol)

    A cast member told guests to ignore the neatly made lines and move wherever people wanted to go and now tempers are flaring all around me. So lines behind ticket booths are no more and the mass has begun.

    Parked at 5:48 In line 5:52 Lined up slightly behind ticket booths. Crowds not that bad so far for right before 6 but people coming in hot. Also, everyone is sticking to lines as of right now instead of massive mob.

    That sucks! I was just there at 4 and rode it twice. Was thinking of doing a third before park closed but decided to leave it at that so I could get home early for a RotR ride tomorrow. Hagrids seemed to be doing so well too this evening I was impressed but I guess I thought that a bit too soon...

    DHS Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance Standby Line and Boarding Groups at Disney's Hollywood Studios

    No one truly knows until tomorrow morning if what happened today is the new norm or not. Do what you feel is best but if it were me I would try to at least be lined up slightly before 6am. If they open early and open BG early, you should get a decent number without waiting 2+ hours for gates to...

    Well there IS a travel agency convention going on right now so I could believe it. However, it would be strange imo to go back to ‘normal’ tomorrow instead of sticking to the strict 7am boarding group start time from now on.

    I’m pretty sure normal groups ended at 107 and backup groups up to 122 got to ride yesterday unless more got let in after I stopped checking last night.

    Not going to lie, pretty happy I don’t have to wake up at 4am on Friday now. Will be able to get an extra 90 min of sleep due to this change.

    Ahhh like a true premonition. Seriously though if the app somehow DOESN’T crash, I’ll be extremely impressed.

    DHS Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance Standby Line and Boarding Groups at Disney's Hollywood Studios

    As a platinum holder, this is the exact reason I haven’t tried riding since last Tuesday. The crowds have gotten pretty extreme in the morning with the earlier opening time, holiday crowds, and the gold and below APs upcoming blackout dates. I’ll be trying one last time for the year on Friday...
