Group 92 called at 5:20pm, surpassing the groups called each day Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.

The process almost seems to be operating more smoothly on “busier” park days

Planning on being at the park by 545am tomorrow but the forecast for 4am-10am looks like complete poop. Even some tornado warnings. For areas north of here and thunderstorms in Lake Buena Vista

Should update thread title to Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance opening decade reports and using Boarding Groups

So who is ready for 4:30 am on 12/26?

I’m reminded of grad school. I had just done a 24-hour experiment and said to my principal investigator, “I’m tired. Can I go home?”

She responded, “Kyle, you can sleep when you’re dead.”

 

[disneygeek90]

Maybe they capped at 108?

We’re doing 4:30-ish tomorrow as it was perfect today as on the ride by 7am with a 6:35am opening.

I’ll be leaving at 5. Should be parking by 5:20. Meeting a few friends who haven’t been on yet so excited to see what they think!

That's what it looks like today. I believe it was at 108 at 7:30 and it ended at 108.

If they want to free up lines/crowds for GE, replace one of the character meet and greets with Baby Yoda and Mando. It would instantly become the biggest attraction in the park. You're welcome Disney

They can't. Mandolrian takes place 5 years after RETURN OF THE JEDI and the land in Galaxy's Edge takes place between Last Jedi and Rise of Skywalker so Baby Yoda can't be in the land with Mando

So? We don't know how old the Mandorian is. Why couldn't he be around during the time of the ST? Leia, Luke, and Han were...

And Baby Yoda will hardly be any older based on his species.

Yes and no. You will go through security way before you go through the turnstiles. For example, we went through security at 520 am and then through the turnstiles when they opened the park at 640 am.

I went through a bag line without a bag. It was a deliberate choice not to carry the bag as this allowed me to book it up to the turnstiles. My mom followed me 2-3 minutes later as she was the designated bag carrier. 3 minutes meant 100-200 people (or more) had reached the turnstiles by that time before her.

Obviously you don’t want to be an ******* and bring up 10 people to you but if you have a small group, it might benefit to have at least one person without a bag go through while the rest follow.

We got group 6, so it worked out well. I will agree with @wdwmagic that the most important thing is the early arrival. Never thought I’d see Florida at 4 am so much...

May I ask 2 questions as I plan our strategy?
Why is there an advantage for you to get to the turnstiles before the bag carrier? Don't you all have to scan in before you can get your boarding group?
And, I see the large smush of people in the photos before the entrance touch points, is it a crazy free for all trying to get to one of the entrance scanners with no clearly demarcated lines? Thanks

Since we know there are more than one of Yoda's species, it stands to reason that there are, in fact, other baby Yodas in the galaxy.

That remains to be seen. Speclative at best

So is your post that he would be aged or dead. Baby Yoda is 50 years old. So by the Last Jedi, he's what, 70? That doesn't seem much older in terms of Yoda's species.

Everything is mostly just a blob until you're close to the touchpoints, but both times this week I've found it actually quite calm and orderly despite the blob-ness. No pushing and shoving, no jostling to make sure you get ahead. Just be conscious of who's ending up in front of you. A crowd of strollers or little kids is just asking for hold-ups at the touchpoints...
