PREDICTION TIME
The following things will occur BEFORE this ride gets traditional standby/FP+
Everyone’s favorite evil
@realBobChapek will
1. Not pay cast members to walk the queue as Chewbacca, hand out bananas, chips & water (during Rise downtime). They will install emergency snack stations in the stormtrooper room and keep a costume laying in the ride transport vehicle. This way it becomes a “help yourself” situation (1x per person, some restrictions apply).
Tall guests are encouraged to “become Chewie” to entertain fellow Resistance fighters . Guests can “live their Wookiee dreams” only at Disney’s Hollywood Kashtudios.
***Please note, guests who sweat profusely & dirty the costume will be charged (via their Magic Band) a $75 maintenance fee (Life Day isn’t free ya’ll).
2. There will be new passholder shirt at the Resistance Outpost. “I spent well over $500 on an AP, didn’t get a preview/backup group for Rise and all I got was this $59.95 T-shirt”.
Proceeds will go towards balancing the corporate budget of Hong Kong/Shanghai losses to appease the most important guests, SHAREHOLDERS.

I was thinking this too. We haven’t had any reports of anyone in the 130+ group lately so I have no idea if numbers up there are even being distributed.

Did test run this morning on two phones. On one phone I got through process in 13 seconds. Woohoo! The other phone for a FULL MINUTE both the status AND boarding group buttons were grayed out! Had to do 2 starts from scratch and a few refreshes before buttons turned red!!
Is that in the app and hit " find out more" right at 8am? Or in the app and hitting my status or doing swipe down refresh?
Launched app at 7:58. Didn’t touch anything until 8am. Then hit find out more right at 8am.
8:37. Not yet.

Got group 11 this morning. Opened the app fresh 5 seconds before 8. Same thing I did Tuesday with great results. Now, if only it could start boarding today!
Team 11! See you there! (Assuming it ever opens)

Is the app still working best when turning off wifi?

My worst fears happened. I did team fresh start 5 seconds before 8 and my app button never lit up so by the time I got it working I got freaking 113. The VIP guide was no help. Plus the ride is down now so pretty much no shot. So much for flying down here for a glitchy ride.

my app is still showing no boarding groups called yet at 9:45. people on the ground, is that accurate?
This is correct. No groups have been called yet today.
ETA - 2 minutes later and the first groups were called, starting with group 10.
