Happened to me even when they were doing the early open. I posted about the fiasco that day

So if rope drop is at 5:40ish the next week or so, and I Uber over from Port Orleans around 4, will the driver be able to leave me at the official drop-off spot?

Oh my goodness, guys, there is no need to leave at 4 am! Bus left POFQ 5:58 am. BG 72 at 6:15 am. Boarding now.

Saw our friend TJ from ToT fame, who has now joined the First Order. Fabulous, as always.
Had a wonderful 3rd and final ride on RotR this trip. Ecstatic to get to ride 3x during Christmas Week!

Was TJ's voice back? We were fortunate enough to have him as our First Order member lining us up for interrogation last week and he was great but his voice was strained from all his hard work.

Currently at group 105 today. The standard groups are at 91, considerably less than previous days. I would guess they're expecting a good amount of returners with a FP from yesterday or Tuesday.

If you want a guaranteed ride on ROTR, within 30 minutes of official park opening. After that, it's usually backup boarding groups. That usually lasts about 2 hours after official park opening.
Today I got to HS at 7:40ish (6am opening) and nabbed a 142 BG. They already had signs out saying all groups were distributed, which is partially true as regular ones were gone, but backups were still available.

Had him today, and while his voice still sounds a bit strained he's doing a fantastic job! As with ToT, he absolutely nails the character.

Oh wow. I would have thought you definitely would be called assuming it doesn’t break. That seems kinda weird?? At 135 now. Maybe sit tight.Well, I just got this. My luck really is bad

It's currently at BG 132, and I'm 10 groups away. Also the park doesn't close for another 4 hours...so quite unsure why they won't be able to reach 142, unless they plan on shutting down the ride early today..

Yea it does seem really weird, especially this early. I'm currently in Epcot chilling and about to ride Spaceship Earth, so it's always a Skyliner ride away if the tides turn in my favor

Operating hours extended again at Disney's Hollywood Studios to include 6am openings
The busy Christmas week is likely to see openings around 5:30am at the Studios.

Bear in mind that today was a pretty unique aberration to the process with apparently 30-50% of those who were here early not getting boarding groups due to a system error. While I agree that 4am may be excessive, IF the system had worked correctly this morning I think 6:15am would have likely been in backup groups, especially with only 90 regular groups and the line at Guest Relations and Guest Exp Team tents still 20+ deep at 6:30 when they gave us group 100.

Can’t figure out why they did that. Extra maintenance?

30 mins before opening is well within the range of what’s acceptable. It doesn’t take 30 mins to get into the park in its current state.

Left Swan at 6:30am this morning, walked to HS and got BG 118 at 6:55am. Did TSM stand-by (posted 40 min wait , but only took 25). Took Skyliner to Epcot for EMH and fast pass rides till after lunch. Plan was to ride Rise before or after dinner reservation which was 4:45pm In HS. BG called during dinner around 5pm. In line from 5:35-6:35pm and inches away from first ride when we got evacuated through the hanger. My wife and kids were like “wow this is so cool“ as we walked through the hanger, and said “no somethings wrong“. Got fast passes for tomorrow, can’t complain - great customer service! I don’t believe the ride came back up after our evac.
