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

[MichRX7]

Group 3, thanks @Demarke

 

[GrimGrinningLeota]

Thank you Chris at guest experience!

the couple right behind me got 46, so random. But they both were trying at the same time and I wonder if that messes you up? I was the only one in my two person group joining.

 

[RSoxNo1]

I checked at 8:04 and they were onto the backups (I know, nothing new at this point).

 

[kbass24emtp]

YES

 

[Demarke]

If any of us early groups end up on at the same time, I’ll be the 6’9” guy with the backwards blue hat and sweaty running clothes, can’t miss me!

Edit- first group called 8:10; 1 hour window

 

[DCBaker]

8:15am - backup groups still available.

 

[Brick Mason]

Seems like a large window for back up groups today. Still going at 8:20

 

[Steve-I-Am]

CONGRATS to everyone this morning. I see most got low number BG's!

Could you have rope dropped MFSR and made it on within the 1 hour window?

Yes it is. Backup groups are STILL going at 8:30

 

[factory190]

Did you get to ride? And did you make you bus?

Yes and yes. Group called about 2pm.

Either it's just a slow Saturday, or they must feel really good about ROTR after the good streak the ride is currently on this past week-ish...


Or wait, maybe it's just because disneygeek is mia and far away from there as possible!!

I assume so, but you’d probably have to get to the park an hour+ early to be in a position to get to MF early enough to get through. For a point of reference, a couple of days ago, I got to the park at 7:30 and went straight to Slinky and was far enough back that I didn’t get on til 9:25 (fortunately they had a two hour window that day). More people seem to go toward MF, especially from the very early arrivals, so you’d have a lot of people to beat at rope drop to be sure to get through it in an hour if you have an early boarding group.

I would assume they give a little grace period like the 15 minute after for fast passes, but wouldn’t want to press my luck and would exit the line to head to RotR if it was looking kind of close!

 

[DCBaker]

Backup groups were gone today at 8:40am. The first backup group is 63.

I like the backup group’s chances, already to 21 at 8:45! (and I’m off to Epcot)

Spoiler

The screen on escape pod descent at the very end was on but frozen for the side AT-AT-view car that loads in the left corridor, not sure if it impacts the other side or other vehicles or not.

This cracks me up. Demarke method the freshest start you can get.

Is teamrefresh no longer a thing?
