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

    Pretty sure it’s if 120 is called two to three hours before the park closes they’ll release a few more groups to end the day with. How many? Guess we’ll find out if they do reach 120 before the end of the day.

    Apparently now they might open up more groups in the evenings if all morning groups are called and finished early?

    Checked out of curiosity before I head to the gym and all groups gone at 7:30

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

    Would not be surprised if they’re making sure to do the finger prints in the morning to ensure everyone who is trying for a boarding group is using their own passes.

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

    I think it would be pretty noticeable trying to scan an extra band and CMs would put a stop to that (plus without a finger print don’t think it would work anyway?). I did see a few people’s bands refusing to turn green with one group early last Saturday and they had to be pulled away from the...

    With the way the weather is right now I’m not surprised about that. I’m home currently and mad respect to those of you in the park now, it’s a pretty rough storm passing through this morning.

    Lol well not going that far. Just with the crowds getting seemingly worse with Christmas approaching, it’s looking like arriving after 8am is not going to be the best strategy if people really want to ride the attraction. I could end up being wrong of course but only time will tell.

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

    Who ever wants to ride has to wake up early and be scanned into the park. If someone wants to ride and doesn’t wake up, they’re not riding.

    Nope. You only need a boarding group for Rise. The rest of GE is open for everyone.

    Last time I went a CM made sure to walk up and down each line and loudly exclaim to everyone to make sure they had MDE completely closed until after entering the park. Said if it wasn’t completely closed there may be a chance it wouldn’t register you were in the park right away. So yes, best bet...

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

    During my third try a guest behind me was talking to what looked like a manager after we entered the park and asked him what his thoughts were on the VQ. He said something along the lines of, ‘It’s nice because everyone enters the park fairly calmly, gets their group on the phone, then leisurely...

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

    I strolled in at 7:30 on opening day and everything seemed so chill and calm for a day one opening...until the signs for no more boarding groups started coming out around 8:30 😬 That’s when you could feel the shift in attitudes especially toward the front of the park. During the next two tries...

    Local AP here! I for sure don’t spend the same amount as visitors do for food every time I go to the park. However, I do usually always spend some amount of money on a snack I want to try/have again whenever I go. So instead of $100 per day (just randomly throwing a number out there) I might end...

    I’m not saying Disney is right one way or another but for those saying the park shouldn’t open until normal park hours of 8 or 9am... I lived in Japan for 3 years and frequently visited TDL. Parks would ALWAYS open on the dot of opening time. That being said, even if park open was 10am, guests...

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

    I would agree with this. I tried last Saturday and it was noticeably busier than the weekdays but 6am was a decent time to get there for a group. I ended up with boarding group 50 and after only 1 breakdown in the morning I was on by 1:45ish. My best advice though would be to stand on the right...

    Forgot about this moment that happened to my group early this morning and wanted to share it cause it was a good laugh. When we were waiting to enter the room that’s before the one where you board your ride vehicles (trying to make this story as spoiler free as possible), a regular Disney...

    I meant third ride overall. This morning was my third morning arriving to the park early to ride.

    The person ended up hitting about 80% of the turns and seemed so frustrated but got through and seemed to enjoy the ride at the end which is what it’s all about! But yeah, those to ECVs I guess just be cautious there are ‘tight’ turns in the line and like you said, take them as wide as you can...
