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

[disneygeek90]

Thanks for the warning. If/when I go in a few weeks I will find out which days have early entry for HS and go to a different park on those days so I will have an equal chance as everyone else for ROTR when I do visit HS. I'm staying off property for a fraction of the cost.

If I understand correctly, the new "early half hour" perk for resort guests is 30 mins early for all parks, every day.

Early Entry is every park every day for resort guests.

Yes, I just found that out via a Google search. I'm still not going to pay the overpriced fees at the hotels that have the 30 minute early feature. I'm staying at a $41/night hotel in Kissimmee.

So the Disney feeble attempt to divert crowds is still limping along.

Maybe they're averaging in expected breakdowns?

So... I'll be there in the 2nd week of November. Any speculation/guesses on how much the additional Lighting Lane pay-to-ride fee will be once the Genie is, uh, out of the bottle?

Posting 50 minutes now. Although this will probably change with Genie+, this is promising.

My expectation is between $15 and $24

Enjoy.

So few people are going to pay a la carte that I don't think it'll change very much.

I'm predicting that Genie+ itself will be a huge success and that the Individual Attraction Selections will be a giant flop.

"Temporarily Closed."

Posted wait is now one hour. Ain't nobody gonna pay to skip that.

I was actually wondering if they would argue that the posted wait time is until you get onto the ride vehicle (i.e. not counting the pre shows including the shuttle).

75 now. But this is also a "slow" period.

Do we know if they're using the RFID cards (at this ride or anything else right now)?

 

[disneygeek90]

At the park and ride is down. Some things never change!

I was thinking that very same thing.

 

[disneygeek90]

Entered queue at 7, 40 mins to the first preshow. About an hour for the full ride. Loved it tonight but let’s see what happens with more crowds + LL. For now, take that @KevinPage !

seems like the standby line to Rise is working out pretty swell, hopefully it comes to DL soon
