I wonder if the park will cancel all assigned BG's and run it again to allow only people in the park to try and access it once they repair whatever happened...…...I know people complain all the time about Disney's IT being really terrible but I think that's an understatement...……..How does a company of this size and scope have the worse IT over and over again and do nothing about it?

oh my god what the heck?? Complete app malfunction?
Feel bad for the people in the park today...…...Those of us at home practicing obviously didn't mean to mess up their plans...………..Hopefully Disney realizes the extent of their IT issues and looks to put some serious money into fixing it
I doubt the few hundred practicing at home had an appreciable dent in the 15,000 BG spaces normally given out.
If I had to guess, I would think that whatever they did to turn off fingerprint scanning to get people into the park quicker got mixed up into not bothering to check if they even scanned in.
Perhaps they were thinking to do away with the "you have to be in the park" lottery and just go with a lottery from wherever you are the day of and it got turned on by accident?
Anyway, some of you have time to hop on a flight to Orlando...

Yeah, I have a hard time seeing how this is going to have an impact. Implications though? An issue like this happening for the first time almost 3 months after opening is a big yikes from me...

You spoke too soon. He’s already ruined the one condition for boarding groups.I was pleasantly surprised to log into the MDE today and NOT see that Advance Boarding Groups were on sale for $5.95.
Maybe it isn’t falling...YET

People on other sites are saying same thing happened, so I’d be curious how many are actually doing this
lol.
So, they turned on "check for fingerprint" and shut off "check for having scanned in at all."

#teamfreshstart from Houston netted me BG 36, even with manually selecting random members of my F&F to join the group.
And while I feel bad that I took 4 slots of guaranteed rides, I am not going to lose sleep over it, because:
1. This should make it more likely that folks in Backup BGs get called;
2. This is the fault of Disney's notoriously fickle IT; and
3. Disney has created a system by which you have 30-60 seconds to obtain the ability to ride their newest and most in-demand ride, and for those of us who aren't local, practice is prudent.
Hopefully folks today will get some recourse.

I have a feeling that more people “test” in the morning besides just the posters here. I mean hell, there’s 175,000+ members in the AP Facebook group and there’s questions every day about ROTR. It would be a little naive to assume that all groups gone in 40 seconds weren’t directly impacted by the glitch this morning.
I wonder if they’re able to tell where groups were obtained and remove anyone (if they didn’t remove themselves) that they can’t reasonably assume were in the park and reopen groups?

it is genuinely so hilarious to see how DHS operations is imagineering new ways to shoot themselves in the foot
This is definitely the fault of the new CEO!

On the plus side, at least everyone here succeeded in getting a group with even more competition than normal 
You all are ready for the big leagues!
