News Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance Standby Line and Boarding Groups at Disney's Hollywood Studios

[PeoplemoverTTA]

Dead serious question here...so I'm planning on getting up early on Saturday to be at the gate by 6:15am. That means I gotta wake up by like 5:15am, a completely unnatural hour for me, so I'll probably be hitting the coffee hard trying to stay upright as I wait. What happens if I have to pee? I'll probably be solo so no one to hold my spot in line for me. Do you think people will be understanding enough to let me slide back into my spot after I run to the restroom? Or will havoc ensue forcing me to the back of the line?

Maybe get some chocolate covered espresso beans to minimize fluids?

Group 91. Surpassed the cut off from yesterday of 81.

Still 2.5 hours before close.

I believe that’s the final group.

Such a shame this ride didn’t open with the land. They truly could’ve just tweeted “It’s open.” as their entire marketing campaign.

Yeah, as I’ve suggested all along, I think its opening now will leave the land’s opening three months an inconsequential memory for WDW. I suspect a different reaction could develop out west after they “suffer” 8 months without RotR. This is clearly a huge win for WDW, though.

Which is fantastic for theme park fans. It lights a fire under Universal for the third park and ensures that both properties invest into the 2020s.

Sorry for posting this here but I’m trying to stay away from the main thread with spoilers. Is there any size restrictions for larger people riding ROTR?

That’s two days in a row that they’ve finished the groups with an hour or two to spare. Maybe they are going too conservative with the groups now with the promise of FP + one day park hopper if they overestimate.

Just saw they got ride of EMH and the park officially opens at 7am

I think they just don’t want to seriously inconvenience folks. I am surprised they don’t “surprise” open up like 5 more groups at 7 pm though. Maybe they feel it’s best to let the ride coast into the evening with no pressure if she has a “good day”.

Time off for good behavior.

I guess that’s fair. After yesterday’s shaky day it’s nice to see today run smooth.

They allowing standby now?

That feels too risky to me. At most they can see 1000 more people by 9. They’d get more than that if the opened Standby.

No there shouldn't be.

If they opened standby right now I would be on my way over in about 3 minutes lol

You and 10,000 new friends!

Seems silly to just close it for 90 minutes if they can get some people through. Do they release new boarding groups or just pack it up and call it a day?

It looks like they just call it a day, or at least wait around and see if any late stragglers with BG’s come through.

More that. If I got 91 this morning, I likely would have gone to another park. We all know how efficient Disney buses are...

Fair enough. I was encouraging my friend (who flew down today) to go mill around the queue entrance and hope for the best.

The morning I got my BG, I went back to my room for a nap.
