Backup boarding groups were available today until 8:52am.

Nice! There is “A New Hope” for my family

 

[MJJME]

You sure about that?

Yes.....did you not see it? its been confirmed

Today they were available until 9:33 am. 8:52 was yesterday.

 

[Oddysey]

You sure about that?

This is a legitimate question in which I am interested in the answer. I have seen the "survey" reported in another place, but has anyone on this forum actually taken the survey? I would think that Disneygeek would be a prime candidate. A survey pops up in my email nearly every time I eat on property which is at the least once a month.

 

[Joeamc]

I am surprised that "regular" boarding groups only go to 88 today. That, along with the long amount of time it took to close Backup Boarding groups, doesn't make sense to me. Im not really understanding their system/thinking. But I guess there is a method to the madness.

We're in San Diego so we can take a day trip to DL anytime if we miss it today. Don't want to be selfish and make my kid sicker.

I was semi selfish when 1 kid was sick, I left the other with the wife. Following weekend the other kid was sick, so I went with them and other stayed home. I need “my rides”

Pretty sure his point was, are you sure the survey (while it might be worded about ROTR) is about ROTR continuing to use BG? They could very well be gathering information to see what peoples perception is of the BG for future ride openings.

Or even possibly tweaking the Fastpass system. Truth is, we really don't know.

Right...…...I think the biggest issue is the 4+hour waits...…..if they are going to implement FP, then hopefully use some version of BG to prevent standing in lines all day

 

[MJJME]

Backup groups closed at 9:33am today and start with group 88.

do we know what number last backup BG that was given out? was it 145 again?

EXACTLY. The line situation has gotten way out of hand.

So, Fastpass with Boarding passes. Boarding passes can take the place of the standby line. That makes sense.

 

[UNCgolf]

I want even longer lines.

That way the parks aren't so insanely crowded for the people who aren't waiting in them.

(this is tongue in cheek, but lines definitely do serve a purpose for reducing crowding)

We are not given that information.

I think that makes the most sense...….will still enable Disney to call BGs based on reliability while satisfying FP demands...………...Not sure if this could work, but they could also tweak the BG process to possibly allow the lottery for BG's to happen at a certain time that wouldn't require you to have your whole group in the park by park opening (lottery the night before)?
