[DCBaker]

Backup groups still available at 8:20am.

Groups started being called with group 2 today.

Groups still available while MMRR sitting at 300 mins.

Boy do I sure wish ROTR had standby!

With MMRR open and some recent and consistent good progress, it may be about time.

I don’t think a few days or even a few weeks of not terrible days is what they’re aiming for.

This is very sad to hear

I’ve going for a Twofer... got an MMRR lunchtime of April 12th, gonna try for early BG in the same day

hmm though I’ll be there this weekend, could do a BG and standby MMRR

It’s down to 240 now.

I’d imagine, barring any issues, wait times will level off during the day

 

[disneygeek90]

Well, this is interesting. Apparently no window to return today.

Fair. I think I'm just being hopeful that we can finally move to normal ops.

As a question for any recent guests that have missed their return times: have you actually ever been denied entry?

My friends and I in December were very liberal with allowing people on past their windows. I think one time I even let someone on who was 200 minutes late.

Backup boarding groups this morning were gone at 8:54am The first backup group today is 63.

Theoretically backup groups should go faster today due to influx of people for grand opening on MMRR.

So maybe the fact that backup groups are not going as fast lately means less overall crowds?

I don’t want to get this conversation started over here too, but the virus could be scaring some people of.

A party that got to the queue at the time we did was 37 minutes late for their window. The girl said "do you have a good reason" and they said they were eating or something and that seemed to satisfy her so she let them in. That was 2/27

Yeah, that sounds about right.

Most will at least ask Something. We understand that it's not the easiest thing to plan a day at Disney, and there are so many variables that can go wrong. I typically didn't beat around the bush and just hit override if a coordinator wasn't looking.

The rule especially goes out the window with considerable downtime. VQ doesn't account it for it, so we didn't either.

The final initial boarding group (62) was called at 11:31am. Backup groups are coming right up!

Average pacing for the day so far is right around 17 groups per hour.

 

[Jeremy Geertsema]

So is it going to be possible to rope drop MMRR, and get a boarding pass right at 8am? Things are gonna get way more complicated now.

I don't see why not. You may be shuffling to the queue at 8 but it shouldn't effect your ability to grab a group.

I’m just scared because they opened the ride early, what if you’re on it at 8am. I’m probably over panicking but still lol.

Did they open the ride early? I didn't hear anyone say that.

I thought I saw a post about it, but maybe I misread or it was wrong. Let’s hope so.

I just looked back and it sounds like @wdwmagic stated the ride opened before 7. I guess use judgement if you feel you're getting close to the preshow or ride right at 8.
