News Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance Standby Line and Boarding Groups at Disney's Hollywood Studios

[ifan]

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.

I was recently at Boardwalk very close to Dolphin, and I found a cell phone tower repeater on top of Jellyrolls (at least the part that faces Boardwalk.) On my balcony I had excellent 100+ mbps speeds on AT&T. A family member trying inside the room had much higher latency and the screen stalled when trying to join.

So if you have a weak signal inside, walk a little toward Jellyrolls on the boardwalk.

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

You could always get it for yourself then later get a CM to add the rest of your party members.

Yes on back to school. Some this past week and some the upcoming week. There is usually a drop off in attendance the last few weeks in August because of that.

Usually we have the brits in town to fill in that gap. Not so much this year.

So if the ride gets through the supposed 180 groups before the end of the day, will stand by open?

 

[Dunston]

Maybe on these slow days they can get their together

That is what happened on Sunday (it's a couple pages back). Stand by was open for around an hour and toward closing it was supposedly a walk-on - but you can read more details back a few pages.

7am window was open for ~9 seconds.

Groups began being called at 9:30am (1-7). Groups started calling ~5 minutes later than yesterday.

I haven't been watching this closely, but I notice today that the new field in the service response is no longer 30 minutes different than the older, existing field.

"nextScheduledPartyCreationOpenTime":"13:00:00","nextScheduledOpenTime":"13:00:00"

Since nothing has yet come from the new "Party Creation" time, this doesn't really mean anything. Maybe it's some testing or just a glitch, or maybe it's a strike against my idea that's a setup for a future 30 minute window to enter your party into a lottery to get a group.

 

[DCBaker]

1pm window was open for ~10 seconds - at 1pm, groups were called up to 40 (18 groups less than yesterday).

I heard the ride will be down all day Friday so nobody bother going

Spoiler

Just kidding….I‘m trying for my first ride and was hoping the trend would continue

Averaging just under 10 groups an hour today, so mostly just running poorly vs more people.
