Will you have a chance to try again this trip?
A late start doesn’t help, but don’t give up yet. Sure it will probably be later in the day, but really depends on how the day goes and how much down time (if any) occurs.
They have reached at least 100+ for a week or so (if I’m correct).
Following @Joel tips/theories...Today I opened the app at 7:55 and click Find out More at 8:00:01. JBG button was red!So as a follow up, I tested @Joel info from home just now.
I used time.is and once it was a few seconds after 7:59, I quickly swiped the browser away and loaded MDE from scratch.
I clicked FIND OUT MORE right at 8am and lo and behold, Join Boarding Group was gray (as it should be). I sat there for 2 seconds to make sure it didn’t pop up due to a delay and nothing, so I clicked My Status and it allowed me to Join a Group (since that generated the GetPositions call) but I didn’t click it.
After waiting a few seconds on that screen, I clicked the back arrow and Join Boarding Group populated on the main screen (since the 60 seconds from the initial app load GetQueues request had expired & navigating to that screen generated a new request).
Joel, so I’m guessing getting to the My Status/JBG screen, the GetQueues request is generated by BOTH clicking Find Out More OR going backwards to that screen from the JBG screen (that uses the GetPositions call) ?
Runaway Railway just went down too after 105 minutes in line. This is not my day already.
They stopped at 98 yesterday I’m pretty sure.A late start doesn’t help, but don’t give up yet. Sure it will probably be later in the day, but really depends on how the day goes and how much down time (if any) occurs.

The other tip from @Joel and @KevinPage is to give it 1 try for JBG to turn red (Find out More) or blue (My Status) after that don’t try to refresh, hard close the app and go back in because seconds matter especially during Spring Break!As a reminder, if you have plans on opening the app at 7:59:00-7:59:59

Open at 7:55:01 - 7:55:59 OR 7:57:30 OR simple/safe scaredy-cat @disneygeek90 method of 8:00am

This is so aggravating. They do so well on some days and horrible on others. BGs gone in less than 2 mins. one day then over 1hr another. They get to BG #130s one day, then only to #90s the next. Such a horrible thing they have going here. Really need something consistent. Things were looking on the bright side last week, hoping they had their sh*t together. Now? Back to NO CONFIDENCE that I'll get a BG when I go. Then there's all this API breakdown, just confusing me more. How do I know what DAY to go to the park and try? Should I go on a Monday? Friday? Sunday? There is NOTHING consistent other than the fact they are inconsistent. You guys are great at analyzing things and breaking it down. But really seems to be that you could still follow the steps and get a Backup Group then not get called. They really need to take this ride off the website and stop promoting it. I'm just really aggravated at this point and should've planned another trip instead of this one, and did WDW next year.
Yesterday the park felt slammed with people, even more than when we were there on Saturday/Sunday
Sweet. Can’t wait to hear your reactions. Try not to get too caught up in photos and videos (if you can). There’s a lot to absorb and you want your full attention.
1 tip. Go stand near or right in the front in the 2nd preshow
finished it an hour or two ago..... that ride was amazing, I don’t even think that qualifies as a ride in my book, I’d say it was the single best experience I’ve ever had at any theme park. When kylo’s lightsaber came down..... I’ll never forget that. And my dad was talking back to the first order admiral so that was fun

I’d guess that this is because by the time your app loads and pulls the queue time, it’s after 8:00:00Meh. I open the app from scratch at 7:59:55, its never failed me, always been sub 25 BG.
