One caveat on taking an UBER to Speedway. Last month, I was planning on going to DHS by being dropped off at the Speedway. But the day before, I did a little reconnoitering via the Skyliner and noticed no sidewalk along E Buena Vista in front of the Speedway, which is what you walk along to get to DHS. They must have recently removed it, possibly to discourage drop off there. I had the driver drop me off at the corner of E Buena Vista and Epcot Resorts Blvd (which is the entrance road to Boardwalk).Tweak: Uber to the Speedway near Boardwalk. Shorter walk. Option of buying gas station breakfast!!
I’d think it was the latter.

Something went oopsie . Heard from someone who got group 60 at roughly 3 seconds into the window. No way it actually operated to 7 minutes. Currently boarding around late 40’s.Apparently it was 7 minutes but the changes won’t increase capacity by that much !
Me thinks a) the park was dead or b) something went oopsie
What kind of sorcery is this!! You could be dropped off at the speedway!? Omg hahahaOh those dirty dogs! It's clear they don't want anyone walking to or from the Speedway any more. Not that one couldn't walk along speedway's back driveway and cross over near BW's gate and pick up the walkway from there.

Double the capacity=double the time?10am slots filled in ~14 seconds.
Disney makes securing a boarding group for Rise of the Resistance much more convenient

Guests will soon be able to join the boarding group from outside of the park.www.wdwmagic.com
I think very much needed. That entire first 45 minutes leading up to 10am is just a bad way to start the day.Quite the change!
Maybe the 7am is to try and have it not fill up with 10 seconds? Perhaps they hope that there will be less initial demand at 7am.This is a needed change and works because of the park reservation system. The stress of arriving hoping you were early enough, though not as bad as pre-Covid, was still a bad way to start the day. However! If the park will continue to open at 10:00 AM. why place this at 7:00 AM? Why make people wake up earlier than necessary? When you're on an Orlando vacation, every hour of sleep counts.
I'd totally get up, get a boarding group, and go back to bed!This is a needed change and works because of the park reservation system.
