This - low crowds + blocking re-rides will cause demand to 'run out'.

Not sure if anyone else replied but we had 6 people signed into my MDE acct, each on their own phones and then it was fastest finger wins. Which (no surprise) was won by a teenager.
All 6 were just outside the lobby in the Swan with one of us on Wi-fi and the rest on cellular. Once one person gets a BG the rest will get errors or other messages so it won't cancel or hurt whoever was first able to get in.

Staying at the Dolphin in October. What's the Wifi situation like at those 2 hotels? Is it the standard Disney fare? Have been trying to figure out if I'll go wifi or not.

If anyone is still stressing about being late to a group, don’t be. I had group 28, called at 10:45am. Traveled all day and after an hour of downtime once I got there, entered queue at 6:40. The guy did not even bat an eye as he clicked past the notification on the device. I said “I know I’m late” and he said no problem and waved me on. Really didn’t even have to say anything.

I did some “at home” practicing this morning to prep for my Labor Day weekend/50th bday hoopla extravaganza trip. I just want to confirm that once I get the error screen “you do not have a park reservation” that means I would have gotten a 7am BG if I had a park ressie for DHS today. Correct?
I’m happy to see the 1pm BGs are lasting into the 2 o’clock hour lately, but not sure how to swing that possibility with park hopping limited to park #2 entrance no earlier 2pm.
Putting all of my Rise eggs in the 7am BG basket.
Yes! You would have gotten a group.

Yay!!!!
Thanks for the reply and all the great info, and all the tips about closing apps, restarting phone, etc.I'll be Solo (see what I did there?
) for my trip, so I didn't think it would be too difficult for a single person getting a BG. Still, it's nice to know that I know what I'm doing in trying to get one.doctornick

so, I wonder if one person in the party scans in to the park on a hopper could they book others in their party after 2pm or would all needed to be scanned in
I would assume everyone would need to tap through the turnstiles, otherwise you may get the error of your other party members not being in the park.

I tested the lobby area of the Swan the morning of and I was getting a wifi speed of about 75 Mbps which seemed decent enough but even just walking back and forth down the halls the speeds would vary some so I was the only one who used wifi and the rest used mobile data and it was a mobile data phone that got in first.
I will say I also checked our mobile data speeds and found that they were much better at ground level than up in our room on the 7th floor and the mobile data speeds even seemed to be better inside the lobby of the Swan than outside which seemed odd but that's what my phone was at least telling me.
We otherwise stayed off of the public wifi while there so not sure how great the coverage was throughout both hotels but the Swan did have decent enough speeds around the lobby and guessing the Dolphin should hopefully be the same.
