Making an assumption that people that stay on property are the biggest planners just because you do...well that right there is where you went wrong. This is wrong in so many ways, but it must be true because that's what it is for you.

It's not - but people who travel to WDW by plane often are big planners. I personally know someone who doesn't live in Florida and doesn't plan ANYTHING except maybe a nice dinner or two. It blows my mind how much she and her husband are able to accomplish without even making FPs in advance (though I wonder if it has to do with the size of their party...surely 2 people are easier to get day-of FP than 4).
Sounds like they have been reading this message board
Again, traveling by plane does NOT make you a bigger planner than someone that does not travel by plane. There is no correlation at all.

I have presumed all along that they would be opening Rise early (before posted park opening), just like they open FOP early every day.
As for everyone saying that Rise will not be open for EMH, I have yet to see that anywhere official. What I do see is a list of attractions that are included in EMH and that list does not have RISE on it.
There is a big difference between NOT saying it is included and saying it is "not included". Bonus points for those playing at home, the list of EMH attractions still says MF:SR is open for EMH starting Sept 1, so it has not been updated since before Galaxy's Edge opened.

I said "often"...not always. I was also being very specific to people who travel to WDW by plane. I'm not an expert by any means, but I do run a Disney group and talk to LOTS of moms who plan Disney trips for their families, and it's become more rare that people don't book FPs and ADRs long ahead of their trip. I have seen more people using TAs, but those people are still pre-booking FPs and ADRs.

That's false information. DHS management will make the determination based on ride uptime over the next few weeks and demand after New Years. I can say with 100% certainty no decision has been made yet.

That is what I was thinking.

Exactly. All I’ve heard is boarding groups through the new year, both due to anticipated crowds and anticipated downtime. No one has a crystal ball that can reveal how the ride will be behaving by January.

Only up to group 29. This point yesterday I think they were well above today's pace.
Yeah somewhere close to the mid 30’s

I think they started with 10 yesterday. The earliest I saw was they were boarding `10 to 12`, then `10 to 14`, etc.
Did they start with 10 again today?

Does anyone know if this will have a single rider line eventually?
And also, speaking of FP+, I assume this will eventually get that. I wonder if they'll rearrange the tiers since this is obviously tier 1 so something is going to have to become tier 2. I'm guessing Alien Swirling Saucers would fall

Considering almost all restaurants and major FP are gone 1 month before our trip In January makes it more than an assumption. That would be considered a fact. Something sorely lacking from many of these discussions.

I don’t know how it could work... the groups get all mixed up during pre show. And even if you have set numbers for preshow... if that single lingers in the big hall, they won’t load with the group they were counted for etc.

Is it not similar to RnR having a preshow? Honest question, because that has a single rider line before the pre show that jumbles queue up so i assumed a single rider line for this was also possible
We got up at 4:30. Got a Lyft from Beach Club at 5 and were dropped off at the entrance to Hollywood studios at 5:07. Wasn’t that bad. Let into the park around 6:15. Was able to get into boarding group 12 right away. Got on the ride around 6:45 and were able to get into another boarding group. This time 23. The first time we were evacuated after the storm troopers as the ride went down. Got back on around 7:45 and rode all the way through. Our next boarding time was then ready but the line was very long in the cue for others who boarded so we didn’t go. It is doable but for now I recommend getting there early. Lyft was easy and inexpensive.

It was at 44 or 46 by noon yesterday. It’s having a rough day today but those next day FPs are a serious problem. The ride really can’t support them.
