How many people are in a group?

No one who knows is saying.

Groups began being called at 8:40am (1-13). Groups started calling ~5 minutes earlier than yesterday.

Honestly boarding groups are based on how many vehicles they're running, lifts/drops, loading areas, etc. So it would change daily.

Wouldn't they adjust by not calling the groups at the end of the day like they've been doing all along?

And on days when there are the least amount of RVs running, what size are the BGs? And on days when everything is running perfectly at max, what size are the BGs?

No real news or changes to report. Ride seems to be functional pretty darn consistently and with same effects working/not working

Happy trails

Got BG 8 this morning, while lying in my bed. Got to the park about 8:30, and got a walk on ride on the Runaway Railway. When I got off my BG had been called, but I went for a quick run on Toy Story Mania next (walk on). Still got to Rise just before 9:00, and they were still using what had been the fastpass lane, nearly walked right in to the first preshow. I got a front row seat (blue), and the ride was working well - the only thing I noticed that was wrong was that only the first cannon in the cannon room was moving.

My method for getting a BG was:

1. At about 6:50, power phone completely off, then restart.
2. Clear any open apps
3. Go to My Disney Experience app, make sure you are signed in
4. From the home page, tap "Join" in the box titled "Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance - Request Access with Virtual Queue"
5. This brings you to a page called "Join Virtual Queue".
6. At about 6:59:30, start refreshing this page by sliding your finger down the page - it is working if you see it say "Checking Groups" and then the date and time.
7. Continually refresh until a blue "Join" button appears on the upper left, which should happen right at 7:00:00.
8. Tap this "Join" button immediately.
9. Then immediately start tapping the bottom section of the screen as fast as you can. When it has loaded your party automatically, the "Join" button will appear, but hopefully you will have hit it before you even see it.

This method was suggested to me by a nice young lady at Disney Guest Experience a month or so ago. It has worked for me both times I have tried it, Group 25 the first time and 8 today. I used my home wifi.

Hope this helps someone.

TETO this is more work that needed and COULD cost you a few precious fractions of a second you randomly time it incorrectly.

All you need to do is sit in homepage and hit JOIN precisely at 7am or on the 2nd page hold down (and don’t release) until 7am hits.

Those 2 ways are less prone to random chances of misfire.

But whatever works for ya

I couldn't believe it when I saw it! That has to be some type of record for the 1pm drop lol

 

[DCBaker]

161 is the last group of the night, called around 6pm (13 groups more than yesterday).

 

[MisterPenguin]

but we don't know the definite numbers they're running at to get the exact information

Which was my point.

Sorry this has probably been asked many times but this is my first time trying to use the system. I’m driving up early in the morning from South Florida and was going to join at 7 AM but what happens if they call my group and I’m not there just yet? Am I better off just waiting until 1 PM and trying then?

150 is the last group of the night, called around 6:05pm (11 groups less than yesterday).
