15 groups? So what are your thoughts on it, do you think it’s a good sign considering the increased ride capacity with more families in the interrogation room and ride vehicles?

Even though most of the info in the blog mickey post is stuff we've seen before, I think the info and graph at the end of their post is interesting as it relates to "increased capacity"

Thanks. That’s how we’re set up. I made the reservations for both rooms so no linking friends or whatever they do now.

They are also making a massive assumption that Disney kept boarding group sizes the same. They could have easily doubled the boarding group size when they doubled the ride capacity...

I'm sure there's an answer to this somewhere, but I hadn't paid much attention b/c no one in my family was interested in riding until now. When your boarding group is called, is it a time period that you have to be there in? (so say Groups 1-3 are called, do you have an hr to get in line?) or is it basically as long as your number has been called, you can go even if it's 2-3 hours later?
Between my mom and I will probably get too sick to ride, and that we usually never get at the parks at park open, we never tried. Now that we can do the passes from the Apt in the AM and my Step dad will be coming (and can ride w/ the niece) I'm curious if we get an earlier number if we'll have to hustle to get there or if they get called while we're getting ready/on the way if they'll still have time to get there and just head over there first...

That’s interesting. Seems like it would make sense to increase the size of boarding groups since they would seem to want to call people in at a rate correlated to capacity, but then I’d expect the number of boarding groups to remain pretty much the same. Something else seems to be going on.Even though most of the info in the blog mickey post is stuff we've seen before, I think the info and graph at the end of their post is interesting as it relates to "increased capacity"

Yes there is a window. The app gives a boarding group range that is currently being accepted. The amount of time that the window is open varies. You probably have somewhere around an hour.
thanks again for staying on top of this! We appreciate the updates.

Interesting that group call time was delayed this morning. I was hopeful from an ops perspective that yesterday’s 9:45 call would be the rule rather than the exception. Might be just “ride wasn’t working” though, so hopefully we’ll see the next week trend earlier rather than later. Opening the ride earlier allows more groups to cycle through, after all.
I mean, the number of boarding groups called per hour has pretty much remained constant compared to when the ride first opened in December and when the ride reopened in July with reduced capacity and when the ride doubled that capacity in October with plexiglass. It’s almost definite that the number of guests per boarding group has increased/decreased as ride capacity has changed.

I thought the Florida term was "sand in the bathing suit."We have a PPR for 11/07 so I get to see 4 days on how this works. You know there will be at least a few “flies in the ointment”
Optionally, "flies in the suntan lotion."
Especially if they're in Texas...

To me it’s pretty obvious they increased the size of the boarding groups. Boarding a vehicle now would increase from just one party per vehicle in to two parties per vehicle. Therefore one “boarding” would be happening but it would be two parties instead of one.
