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

[DCBaker]

The last group of the evening, 113, was called at roughly ~7:03pm.

I was there this morning, just got there late

At least they’re calling past 6 now. 113 not great, but not terrible either.

So with the park now opening at 8am tomorrow (and going forward), I wonder if that means more people than usual inside waiting for a BG?

Plan was to go again on Saturday, do Rise and then go home for the day and chill. Hoping this 8am “thing” doesn’t mean too much of an uptick in crowds

I thought the one hour to return was only morning and end of day. Does it start at 5pm?

Apparently at least by then, I put two hours in my comment originally and had to edit when I realized my 5:14 notification said to be back by 6:14.

Is there any insight into why the "guaranteed" boarding groups have dropped in recent days? Did the number of guests per boarding group increase or has the ride taken a step back.

They want less guaranteed guest recovery.

I'm afraid that extra hour for people to roll in (and one hour less of park operation) is going to result in far stiffer competition for Boarding Groups: fewer guaranteed groups will be distributed because of fewer park hours, and hundreds more will be competing for them. My guess is that "gone in 60 seconds" (if not 30) will be the new normal for guaranteed boarding groups. I wish you luck - please let us know how it goes!

But they haven’t issued any guest recoveries in quite a while...

If we assume procedure for ROTR will be the same as it is now, should I have my HS day on Sunday 10 May or Monday 11 May?

Way too far out to predict at this point

Just flipped the app open and at 8:01, backup only already on there!

That's how it has been for more than 2 weeks.

Very interested to get the ground reports for the first 8 AM opening...

The question is just how big of a cluster it will be...

 

[Tuvalu]

In park at 8:09. Backup Group 117.

What is the real cluster is the line to get into Toy Story Land. It begins at the arch and winds through the courtyard.

 

[DCBaker]

Backup boarding groups were gone at 8:21am today.

Backup groups start with group 63.

 

[disneygeek90]

Another incredibly low guaranteed group number. Wonder if the 7am opens are behind us now?

At least until spring break and/or summer crowds, I'd take that bet.

This is nuts! What is this place going to look like at spring break?
