I think they had all the BG from 7am that they wouldn't even bother for the 1pm.

Thank you for your service!
Do we know how many BGs were given out? i.e. was 100 the final one?

Day 2 of 6 of AP Previews:
7am drop closed at 7:24am, lasting for 1413.210 secs, or ~24 mins.
Friday 7am Drop Average: 24m -> 24m (+0)
BG's 1-10 called at 9:39am as part of the initial wave.
Side note: The morning 7am drop went by quicker versus yesterday's ~2 hours!

Awesome stats. This is a great improvement, I hope, for the 1pm drop. Yesterday I couldn't get the 1pm at all even though I was there right at 1, though not to the second, because I didn't expect it to be that close.

I saw on Twitter/X that someone got BG 98 during the 1pm drop. Someone on this thread got a BG in the 80's.
But it's hard to tell if all the BGs distributed during the 1pm drop were called by the end of the night. They did call like 18 BGs during the last 10 mins before they stopped, so that leads me to believe they did.

Also saw this, which is interesting.
Do not wait until the last hour-ish of park close for your BG callback. They seemingly closed the queue down an hour before park close.
So not even a valid and called BG guarantees you a ride at the end of the day, eg. don't go watch HEA then head over to TBA to get in the VQ line.

I know that unusually you don't have to be in MK for the 1pm drop - you only need to have a park reservation for another park. But does anyone have any insight as to whether being there in MK would make a difference? e.g. does the algorithm favor people who've already tapped into MK, perhaps purely because it's taken a split second less to validate that they're eligible to join?
I'm heading to Epcot shortly and hope to try the 1pm TBA drop. Undecided whether I want to make a particular effort to arrive at MK before lunch!

Hoping to secure the 1pm drop, FINGERS CROSSED!!!
We started at Epcot yesterday and lucked into getting boarding group 98 during the 1pm window. Left Epcot around 3 for Magic Kingdom. Most of the afternoon, it was showing a boarding time around 9pm. With the storms around 6pm, all outdoor rides stopped operating for over an hour and we almost gave up, as they were still only boarding in the 40s. Ended up hanging around and around 8pm, our estimated time went from an hour to available within 10 minutes. We were in line at Space Mountain and went to Tiana’s as soon as we rode. The queue was fairly backed up when we arrived and took about an hour for us to get to the boarding area.
Unfortunately, as we were climbing the final hill, the ride shut down. After about 20 minutes, we were evacuated from the ride. Interesting experience all around (especially trying to get off the boats on the steep incline). I hadn’t seen anyone post about the final ride shutdown, but can confirm around 9:30pm, the ride stopped for the evening.

Logs were cycling and the music was on at park opening at least!

I've never noticed a difference. You can get a BG from anywhere as long as you scanned into the park before 1

Thanks, I guess the difference with the TBA Passholder VQ is that you don't have to have scanned into the park to join at 1pm. Only your first park.

We are going wait for November to even try this ride.
By then they should have all the bugs fixed.
