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

[THE 1HAPPY HAUNT]

Skipping the shuttle really ruins the main ride because without it, guests have no idea who is talking to them throughout the ride and don't understand who Beck is at the very end of the ride when you see him again.

Good job. I got 54

TP uses a team of real people based out in the Far East somewhere.

Nice. Just like Apple

Can anyone riding today confirm if they still skip. (I really hope not).

EDIT: Galaxy Edge Discord claims preshows are back! Good to see!

Backup groups are still available as we approach 8:30. Looks like the urgency of all groups going within minutes have backed off after the holidays.

8:55 and backup boarding groups are still available. How long did regular groups last?

9am All groups closed

Just got off the ride. Can confirm that all preshows were operating normally.

8:55 and backup boarding groups are still available. How long did regular groups last?

By about 7:07 they had already switched to backup groups.

Has anyone tried having a member of your party scan in, then have them leave the park before 7:00 and they are still accepted as a member of your boarding party?

I thought about doing this, but it was not an experiment I cared to try.

Unless they were to then scan into another park before 7, there's not really any way for Disney to know who's left the park.

I am thinking the same way. Just wondering if anyone has done it.

Disney doesn't know who left, just that they at one point entered. I'm not even sure if they scanned into another park at 8am if it would matter.

It’s designed (by WDI) to close when the transporter is down. Bad show. Is ToT loading in the fifth dimension room today? When Splash reopens, will it load in the Laughing Place? Peak “they’re tourists!”

I was going to say, that would seem to be an essential element that would have instantly closed the ride down in the old days.

I can imagine the guest services blowback would have been greater had the evaced the line and shut the whole thing down, though.

As cute as the Baby Yoda's may be, they really have nothing to do with boarding groups.

Does anyone know when the last BG was distributed today?

Yikes! That would be like taking people into the Haunted Mansion via the exit to skip the stretching room.

Once we walked right through the stretching room, skipping that part. Not sure why.

 

[UNCgolf]

Oops, totally skipped the last page somehow.

Disney absolutely does know your location, if you are using MDE or PlayDisney. Those apps vary the messages and game options based on locations. There is a reason bluetooth has to be on.

Now, would Disney have programmed something in the boarding group software to use the location service? That is a different question. And, I doubt they would have done that as it would not add any value to the BG booking experience.

The requirement for being "in the park" isn't GPS based. There are far too many spoofing programs that could move people's location into the park so they could get a boarding group from their bed, if that was the case.

They are looking for a park entrance, scanned in, with an active ticket. I doubt they are looking much further than that.
