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

[Sirwalterraleigh]

Not expected to board all groups today.

“Guest compensation” alert

I haven't noticed any angry people today.

Because you've been walking around with the blond pilot. No one could get angry at that face.

“Guest compensation” alert

Free FastPass to the Frozen show should work?

Yeah, I’ve noticed that they seem to be pretty lax on the whole “no costumes” thing. I wear my tunic, belt, and boots all the time, and I’ve never been approached by a CM. I’ve seen a bunch of people like the ones in your picture: Reys, Obi-Wans, X-wing pilots, even a Lando or two. Heck, I had a CM tell me the other day that I could wear the Jedi robes in the parks if I wanted to. I’ve actually been really pleased that they kinda let people wear what they want as long as it doesn’t present an obvious security issue.

i think if you pay what they charge for the jedi robes you should be able to wear them in the parks, at least for the day. I can see not allowing you to come wearing a homemade jedi robe (not that different than wearing a trench coat.. is that allowed) in that i allows alot of area that security cant see what your doing or have on you and you have places for pockets etc that might not be picked up by metal detectors. Or maybe the robes were considered the same as full costumes where "guests might confuse you as a cast member" type idea.

They need to call him in to fix the ride!

Please this a family website, not the makings of something well else....

Quick! Send Bob in to start clapping to make guests think something is happening! Is Uncle Jesse still around?!

They’re thankfully not just closing it up for the night just yet.

I am actually impressed how well it has held up today based on what I was reading around here yesterday.

Now, whether it should have opened at all...I don't think Disney regrets it, at this time...

 

[ToTBellHop]

I believe DHS is open till 10 pm tonight

Yes. I was saying they opened new boarding groups around 11 am. Unfortunately it seems those who signed up then won’t get to ride.

Back in business. Kylo needed a Clif bar.

If they can get back up and running smoothly again, there's still 7 hours left. Boarding up to 70 now.

Just watched that lightsaber fight and WOW. They have to make that a regular thing it adds so much to the land. Even the porg signal thing while cheesy added life to the land!

Purr purr purr

I've been following on Twitter and 99% are positive (most calling it amazing) and haven't seen any complaints about waiting or breakdowns. Based on about 500 posts I've read. Can't wait for January to ride.

If you're evac'd, will you just get a FP for another ride, or will you able to ride RotR again without getting a new boarding group?

From what's been said, you get two FPs, one for RotR, and another for any other ride.

It’s called security theather

The ride has been operating marvelously today, considering how involved it is.

Congrats to EVERYONE who has spent years making this incredible beast. You did it!

Thanks for your hard work, truly.

There's no doubt that not needing to stand in an 8 hour physical queue with no restrooms/food etc is helping the overall guest satisfaction. It's less draining on the guest and I'd assume less stressful for the CM's. I think WDW has found the new solution to sorting out the first day crowds/ops for highly anticipated attractions.
