If it makes you feel any better, I’m toying with the idea of also going at 6am on Sunday with no EMH.

I'm Just A Tourist!
Thanks for responding!! They have friends coming in for the weekend from Cali and decided to suck it up and buy tickets and it so would completely suck if they didn't make it. I'm telling the to arrive by 5:30 am. If anyone has any other suggestions or strategy I would love to hear it.

The earlier the better for sure. 5:30 should be as safe as possible. Have them checking the app constantly once they’re inside.

Possibly not extreme enough. I was there at 5.25 Monday and 10 people from the gate. Group 10. today I was there at 5.15 and 4 from the gate. Group 8. The beauty is that you might be there 30 mins earlier than necessary, but potentially save hours and hours as the delays kick in later in the day, along with the "Will I make it" anxiety.

You don't need to check the app constantly when you are inside. You need to check it ONCE IMMEDIATELY the very second you are inside.

Right, I’m just not sure when it’s releasing during EMH. I would guess when they open the groups when they let in the EMH guests

Especially when that ride looks and feels like the Star Wars universe that’s existed for decades and created millions of fans.
WDI did a fantastic job recreating the art direction from other people in the 70s and 80s. This doesn’t detract from the achievement; it simply gives credit where it’s due.
ROTR is an incredible ride that could’ve been built anywhere. It also would’ve fit into the old Disney-MGM Studios backlot format.
The surrounding land itself would be icing on the cake if Disney would fix its creative problems.

I am going next week and can already feel the shakiness in my fingers as I try to join a boarding group.

This is a concept I still don’t get, either—Where does a change to the posted opening time get communicated the night before? I’m planning on arriving on NYE by 6-6:15, scheduled opening is @ 9. Where would I check the night before to see what that opening time has changed to?

Honestly, just show up at 6.

You just have to keep checking MDE. Also park opening is currently posted for 8am that day.

A friend of mine is in town and went to DHS today. They saw that the park opened at 8:00 and didn't know that Disney was actually opening it at 6:30, so they figured arriving at 7:30 would be plenty of time. Also I forgot to tell them. So they were pretty annoyed when it turned out they would be waiting 12 hours for their boarding pass time when they thought it would be much less. It's not fair to blame it on people for not showing up early enough when "early enough" is arbitrary. Disney is opening the front gate when enough of a crowd builds up. A crowd that wouldn't build up if they didn't let them do it in the first place.

The front entrance touchstyles open 30 minutes prior to official park open like normal?
SWGE is a complete failure. First no one shows up because no one cares and now because, like Universal the ride wasn't ready for primetime.
