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

[disneygeek90]

I think they should just add groups at the end of the night if applicable. Asking people to wait 13 hours for just a chance to be called with no compensation if not seems harsh.

I get wanting to reward people who were just a little late but it’s too extreme of a time commitment.

Officially fallen behind yesterday's pace (Yesterday, we were at BG 86 at 3:20; today we are at BG 84 at 3:20)... still a good pace overall though... Considering the last group was called at 6:30 pm yesterday, should still have no issue getting through the 121 "promised" BGs plus deep into whatever "extra" BGs they also handed out today.

Seems I spoke too soon...

It was doing great until the downtime mid day.

I dont think my nice made it. she got there at 6:30 and got group 91. unless my ex-sister-in-law did what my wife would have done and gone to Guest Services right away there is no way they made ot before 1:30 PM when they had to leave for their flight. I would not have waited upt their last day to try and get the ride. Please, to everyone else don't be as stupid and wair till your last day to ride RotR. My Bother did tell me my nice had a great time at WDW

May I ask why she would have gone to Guest Services? Because your niece didn't show up early enough to get an earlier boarding number? Everyone has plans and sometimes the BG you get doesn't line up with your plans and that's all their is to it. I understand its her birthday and all but people have been saying all week to get their early. If they're not their early, that's not Disney's fault.

 

[MisterPenguin]

Oh there’s no way. They don’t usually call after 8.

If they're giving people a two hour window to show up, that's very understandable.

 

[Nunu]

We didn't get to ride on Dec 7 either. We chose not to let this disappointment, ruin the rest of our vacation.

Complaining at Guest Services, never crossed our minds. What could they've done about it anyway? Sometimes all you can do, is roll with the punches.

Hopefully, we'll be able to ride next year, at some point.

I must have missed this info, but once we tap in, we are supposed to have the MDE app closed (totally closed on my iPhone)? Thus this will prevent a delayed booking of the boarding pass.

The queing experience upon arrival at the park was a bit different today. Security was already open at 4:55. We were lined up behind the ticket booths until just before 5, when they released everyone in what amounted to a race walk to the gates.

 

[Texas84]

Arrived at 0505 and no lines at security. Inside the ticket booths.

With security opening earlier, there was no security lives at all. In not sure why they held people up at the ticket booths until about 5, but after that it was straight to the lines at the gate.

Howdy neighbor!

Why are no Disney news outlets talking about the fact that the ride is at half capacity?

We are arriving January 10th for 2 weeks, really hoping capacity increases by then - don't fancy arriving at HS at 4.30am with our 5,3 and 1 year olds! Although time difference from the UK may work in our favour during the first few days of our trip. I'm really annoyed that after literally months of planning our schedule and booking our FP+ Disney completely dropped AM EMH for HS. With the ages of our kids evening EMH isn't any good to us as they will be too tired. Also we have booked FP times and dining reservations which now aren't what would like/need them to be. I kind of miss the days of being able to wake up and decide which park you wanted to visit that day.

So do you just head over as far to the right as possible?

 

[Texas84]

Yesterday light jacket, today hot.

 

[Tom Morrow]

Still not convinced that this is the only way to do this. This is nuts.
