I am smart. In discussing the boarding pass fiasco with my DS (who is very tech savvy), I passed the burden of capturing our boarding passes in May onto him. If I was to have the responsibility trying to get them I'm sure wed fail.
I would be interested to know how it goes in May since I will be going in June. I would love it if you would reply back on this thread after your trip to let me know how it went!I am smart.

That's a great idea that I hadn't thought about. I could get three device race going adding my wife into it.You know you could both be trying at the same time?

Is there a good resource that outlines the Demarke method, I have searched through various threads and have yet to see anything that spells it out in detail. I'm sure I'm overlooking it!
@Demarke, I tried to find the thread where you did your step by step guide, without success!
Can you post a link please?
Also, if I’ve gotten there too late to have a good rope drop position for a ride, I’ve been posting up in the open area in front of the theater because I figured less people and less stuff to interfere with a cell signal the better (and got my best groups that way). But that may be moot now that MMRR has opened and probably will crowd that area too. I wouldn’t give up a good spot in line for something, but if you’re getting there on the late side anyway, I’d take a minute to find a less crowded area where you’re getting more bars of cell signal.No problem at all, waiting on the expo bus, so have some time! Here’s step by step what I do.
For an 8:00 opening:
7:30 - Get into park; get situated with what ride you want to do first
7:35-7:40ish - Make sure wifi and Bluetooth are off; swipe any and all open programs closed; turn off phone so it has time to do a full shut down refresh [note/edit- you don’t have to keep the phone off a full twenty minutes, that’s just what I tend to do, I’ve had the same results with it off 5-10 minutes]
7:55 - Turn phone back on but don’t click on anything, apps or otherwise
7:57:30 - Open Disney app so it has a moment to do its initial load, but don’t click anything in the app yet
8:00:00 on the dot - Click “Find Out More” (I watch the seconds tick up on my watch with the app open on my phone in the other hand ready to click as close to that instant as possible without being before 8:00:00)
- if “join group” is available on that next screen, click it and select your party, it’s been about 50/50 for me whether it’s been available immediately
- if “join group” is not available, immediately click “Check Status” and “Join Boarding Group” should be available on the next screen
8:01 - Profit!!
Hope this helps!
Yes, we are competitive in many things. But his forte is tecchie devices and I'm well aware of my deficiencies in that area and although i'll try, I'm ready to accept defeat at his more nimble fingers.You know you could both be trying at the same time?
