[DCBaker]

Groups began being called at 9am (1-10). Groups started calling ~20 minutes later than yesterday.

 

[DCBaker]

1pm window was open for roughly ~9 seconds - at 1pm, groups were called up to 66 (5 groups more than yesterday).

Nevermind.

Has park attendance risen that much? What happened to the extended 1pm windows? And that was before the vehicles were fully loaded, wasn’t it?

 

[DCBaker]

153 is the last group of the night, called around 7pm (3 groups more than yesterday).

 

[DCBaker]

7am slots filled in about ~7 seconds.

 

[DCBaker]

Groups began being called at 8:40am (1-10). Groups started calling ~20 minutes earlier than yesterday.

 

[DCBaker]

1pm window was open for roughly ~8 seconds - at 1pm, groups were called up to 53 (13 groups less than yesterday).

The only extended 1 pm time slot that I know of was a slow day apparently in the park but at that time everything was back to "normal"

There was a week or two of minutes long 1 pm slots. I thought it was related to seating policy change, but still before what I think is the current policy, where the entire car is filled with multiple groups.

I asked this elsewhere, but I'll ask here since it is pertinent.

I am due to fly into MCO early on a Thursday morning, and anticipate getting to Hollywood Studios by noon (hopefully). In terms of getting a boarding group for Rise of the Resistance - should I try to get one at 7:00am and hope I get into a group that boards in the afternoon, or should I wait until the 1:00 boarding group sign up?

Thanks!

I'd wait until 1 if I were you. If you get a 7am boarding group you could easily be outside your window by noon. Just remember to tap in to the park sometime before 1 for eligibility.

That's what I heard as well. Is it true that if you get a 7:00 a.m. boarding group and even though you may not be there to ride it you're ineligible to try for a 1:00 p.m. morning group? Does it lock you out like that or does the system realize you haven't tapped in for the first missed boarding group and allow you to try for a second boarding group?

You only get to join one virtual queue for Rise per day I think. I haven't tried it but my understanding is that you aren't eligible for the second round.

Here’s my 2 cents. TRY for 7am. If you get one, great. Even if you get there late, do we really think Disney is going to turn someone away who has a confirmed group but couldn’t get there in time due to travel? Chances of that happening are 0-0.0001%

They “say” 1 hour window so it’s not chaos and people follow the guidelines. But if you have an Oga’s reservation or something else, they understand and let you in.

Worst case scenario I see is they say “you are TOO late” and they auto give you a 1pm group and then you are set to go.

I could be gloriously WRONG, but I just don’t see that happening at all.

Trying for 7am gives you 2 bites at the .

More bites = More Better
More Rise = More Better

Good Luck & Enjoy

Are you willing to chance that? I'm not.

I’m pretty someone mentioned here once that they explained they just came from MCO and missed their BG call-window, and were still let on.

142 is the last group of the night, called around 7pm (11 groups less than yesterday).

That's bizarre. Kind of sounds like wires got crossed somewhere and either they were never supposed to be added to VIP tours in the first place or it wasn't supposed to roll out yet.

7am slots filled in about ~7 seconds.
