I don’t see where it says how many total went out for the day?
Oh, you mean given out by WDW in total, not Boarding Groups that called called out so far.
Nevermind.

From what I can tell, showing up at 5:15 vs 6 can potentially save you hours of waiting.
Well I did say it was the least likely scenario XDThey’ll never open Stand by. Honestly, given how perilous the opening has been, it would be best to give the maintenance staff the extra time to work with the ride. No guests have a reasonable expectation to ride without a BG from this morning.
If you want to ride on what is literally the busiest day of they year, you’d have to arrive by like 4.Oh wow, DHS opening time between Xmas and NY moved to 6am. Thought I RememberEd someone here saying CMs don’t have time on the clock before 6am- does that mean I wouldn’t need to get thereon New Year’s Eve? Hoping to get a BG but couldn’t realistically arrive any earlier than 5am :/
I guess the other question is- how long might it take someone to get in the park who arrives to the crowds an hour before opening?

It’s the busiest day of the year. PeopleMover will have a 60 minute wait.Hmm, even with capacity improving, no APs and a midnight park close?

Get there as early as you can and hope for the best. A posted 6am open reasonably means they’ll be opening the park by 5:30.Hmm, even with capacity improving, no APs and a midnight park close?

5 might be okay enough to get a pass but obviously not guaranteed and would probably be in the back half of the groups.
FWIW, I’m seeing some AP groups on Facebook with their other times. Someone arrived at 7am on Thursday and got 79. Factor in the holiday and obviously it’ll probably be more crowded, but 5am arrival I think is still definitely realistic to get a group, you don’t have to be in group 11 or even 30 to ride, even though it feels like it here lolAppreciate this pragmatism. I know the hype for ROR is very just, but It does sometimes seem as though the brand affinity and closeness to the WDW community of so many members here seems to overpower advice and assessments that are within other working people’s or non-locals’ means, Yknow?
Yes. All were called.123 could be the last group, they were called a while ago and still there. We’ll see...
They will call up to about an hour before close. They’ve just been calling all groups the last several days. It’s a slow but steady ramp up considering they would eventually want to honor over 200 BGs in a typical day.They appear to be either calling the final boarding group or cutting it off at the 2 hours to go mark. That way they can honor the 2 hours to report rule without keeping the ride open a second past park close. Correct me if I’m wrong as far as other days but calling group 123 was around 7 pm today.
Maybe sit it out and make room for people who haven’t ridden it yet then?I laughed at this, so thanks. The one point I'll add is that I love the "experience" of RotR but by the second or third time it gets pretty draining with all the pre-shows, staging, etc. At least SDD, Space Mountain, the Song of the South ride are all much easier to have repeated rides on. Sometimes you just want to get on a ride.
But then how would he winMaybe sit it out and make room for people who haven’t ridden it yet then?
