No problem at all, waiting on the expo bus, so have some time! Here’s step by step what I do.Ok. I know you have said it before but the master must review the #demark method again. (If you have time in that long SDD line)
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
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)
- 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!
Thanks for sharing the research you've been doing on getting BG. We're going one week from now and I feel so much better prepared.
If that's a South Park reference you snuck in there, bravo!No problem at all, waiting on the expo bus, so have some time! Here’s step by step what I do.

Yes. It is very popular. Remember you need the child physically there. They want to make sure the child wants to be there and can respond to basic commands. We were not aware of this and were waitlisted. If you are waitlisted, you need to stay there (or return 20min before each show) in case someone does not show up. Fortunately, my daughter was eventually able to participate, but it is not the best way to spend a day in the park.
Could just be my old phone. If I turn off and turn back on my iPhone 7s too soon, when it comes back up double clicking the home button shows the full complement of programs I had open before are still up in the background. I’m not saying that it’s necessary to keep the phone turned off for a full 5-10 minutes to avoid that (I’m guessing a couple of minutes would probably be sufficient), that’s just the routine I’ve fallen into and having it off completely for awhile keeps me from getting antsy seeing other people playing with their phones and de-stresses me knowing I’ve got everything I need to do done and can just turn the phone on a few minutes before opening and have my group in short order.As an iPhone XR user, I swipe up and close all programs and then do a “hard reset” by holding down Volume Up & Power button until the Apple logo appears. Never waited 20 minutes or anything and no issues (knock on wood, aka Chapek’s cranium).
Are you saying by doing my method, it’s not really removing all the prior open programs from memory?
I’m thinking we are gonna have to splinter this off into the KevinPage Method, being a hybrid of the Demarke Method

That said, when we submit our findings to the journals for publication, I’m all for a collaborative title. The challenge will be figuring out who gets their name first!
That’s strange as no matter what iPhone I’ve had (starting w/ 5s), if I closed programs then rebooted, they didn’t show up after that.
I myself would fear a software glitch by turning my phone on that late in the process
Glad they're returning to the PPH averages they were reaching back in end of December/early January....must mean the First Order is losing too many of their prisoners...
Sounds good. I'll be at Star Wars going for my five year legacy. Might try Rise after the 10K.
