Again - this is a mom with her two daughters at Disneyland. The fact she has to receive "in the know" IT training to be able to experience a ride and go through the "minute of hell" as the clock strikes the hour is absolutely ridiculous. If this was trying to get Taylor Swift tickets at the stroke of midnight I get it, but for daily operation of the world's most established theme park, it really is a complete joke.

I think what they are doing is assuming that the Boarding Groups are based on a mythical 1,900 riders per hour, instead of the far more realistic 1,200 riders per hour best case scenario, with an average 10% no-show rate.
Until someone proves to me otherwise, it's fairly obvious to me that each Boarding Group has 100 ticket holders in it.

In happier news, they had a very good day today at Star Wars: Rise Before Dawn, perhaps one of their most successful days ever. And notably, they did a new thing tonight where they reopened after an earlier break down and started calling Boarding Groups again at 8:45pm and didn't stop until 9:05pm.
Last Call at the ungodly late hour of 9:05pm? What is this, Spring Break in Ibiza?!?
Disneyland was open from 8am to Midnight and was extremely crowded today, so it's almost as if they are trying to operate this like a normal ride! Are you drunk TDA?!? Get a hold of yourself!
Saturday 2/15: Open at 8:35am, Closed at 9:05pm at Boarding Group #145, 6 Hours Closed, 10 Hours Open

Not sure if this was always the case or maybe they're operating at a higher capacity but today you could see 4 empty cars in the first scene where your droid tells the other droid cars everything's ok.
There were two empty cars obviously in scene but two more visible and waiting.

Latest Batuu in-character gossip like what time do they get off, are they going to El Torito after for drinks, did they get bumped to Nemo tomorrow, you know, immersive stuff.

Ah yes, those Cast Members have very clearly been trained in the fine art of hospitality! God forbid they start chatting with the assembled "guests" sitting on the floor and focus on others, instead of ignoring the "guests" to talk amongst themselves and focus on work gossip.
Nice job TDA. Your training programs are clearly top notch. World Class!
Meanwhile, in Tokyo...

Looks like I'm going to the park a week from Monday- when it opens at 9 am.
How busy has the park been prior to open? I'll likely try for a group since my group hasn't gone on it yet, but I worry that with the later open most people who sleep in at the hotels will still be able to make it in and try their hand at the lottery.

Yes, what a difference in culture! It's wonderful to see and something not as prevalent as it once was in WDW/DL. Western culture, particularly the US, is a much more "me" centered society. Even the US Disney parks aren't immune to the culture at large.
The theme parks are mainly employing young people so it will always have a workplace force leaning towards their societal norms. Very hard for companies in that situation to stay "traditional" in company culture - at least here in the western world.

Uh...as someone who lived through the 60's and 70's when hippies and the love child generation were "sticking it to The Man" - Disneyland was quite able to hire people that still adhered to the standards set in the 1950's even though society very much moved away from being clean cut, polite, and relentlessly happy. It's about standards and paying what you need to get the quality. Or in Disney's case, actually caring if you get quality. Every time I walk into an In N Out and Chik Fil A, it hits you in the face how low the bar at Disney is now set.
