[DCBaker]

7am slots filled in ~8 seconds.

Groups began being called at 8:40am (1-13). Groups started calling ~10 minutes later than yesterday.

No, Actual.

Apparently.

Lol, until such time when it actually reaches that capacity wouldn't it be theoretical?

That’s an argument I bet they thought they’d never have to have.

1pm slots filled in roughly ~11 seconds - current groups called up to 73 (3 groups more than yesterday).

I have a reservation for tomorrow, but I also go for my 2nd vaccine shot at 11am. I'm not really wanting to be there all afternoon so I'm going to pause for a few seconds at 7 and try to get a noon-ish group.

...That sentence would have made zero sense two years ago.

165 is the last group of the night, called around 7:05pm (4 groups more than yesterday).

Boarding groups were seen as a better method than standby and fastpass, not as a solution to reliability issues.

That was not my understanding and I also 100% disagree with that decision if it was the reason.

7am slots filled in ~9 seconds.

Groups began being called at 8:40am (1-13). Groups started calling at the same time yesterday.

Any idea what the demand is like at Disneyland?

I’d assume it being in a park with a lot more to see and do, it should manage crounds better than BG being gone in seconds.

Disneyland has been closed since March 2020. When they do reopen on April 30, capacity will be lower than WDW. That might mean its easier to get on Rise because of that lower capacity. (Edit: However, most tickets are already sold for the next couple months and you have to be a CA resident to attend the park currently)

However, before the closure (remember that DL's Rise only opened Jan 2020, so it only operated for just under 3 months), their BGs were gone instantly every day, even faster than WDW's were going at the time.

Edit 2: Corrected the opening of Rise West. Who the heck knows time anymore.

I think I pretty much nailed that

Kill two birds with one stone and have the floating probe droid administer the second shot

 

[disneygeek90]

Aaaand it’s down. I’m right outside interrogation.

 

[DCBaker]

1pm slots filled in roughly ~9 seconds - current groups called up to 68 (5 groups more less yesterday).

 

[disneygeek90]

Just went back up and I got through. About a 45 min delay.

154 is the last group of the night, called around 7:05pm (11 groups less than yesterday).

 

[RSoxNo1]

If I get group 1 (or really any of the first 10-15 groups) that are called prior to official park opening, how long is the window actually open? Using today as an example, Groups 1-14 were called at 8:40. Would guests have until 10:00 AM to check in at the ride? Do the 15 minute buffers from Fastpass+ days apply here as well?
