Rise of the Resistance - Boarding Passes/Uptimes (DHS)

[mainejeff]

Finally got on around 6. Fantastic experience but I’m still digesting it.

Bit late but we lucked out around 3.30pm when the app alerted us we wouldn't be boarding.

We already knew this but the confirmation was enough for us to wrap up a long day in the park.

The app let me down at the beginning #, whilst it was loading quick it would not open up the boarding pass field, people around me were cheering as they got there passes but the button on my app was staying greyed out, this put us behind from the get go but with all of the down time that day if you weren't in the top 40 boarding groups chances would be that you weren't riding and even if you did you had a good chance of the ride going down whilst you were on it or in line.

So 3 attempts and only one ride, but like a sucker i'm going to head over again on Monday to chance my arm on RoftR lottery.

We went yesterday and I think the rain really helped us out. I got group 6 and my sister and her boyfriend got group 27.

Still painful to wake up at 6, and I really hope the boarding group situation is over sooner rather than later

Yesterday I arrived to the park at 7:01-2 AM and got backup group 82.

I was called at 1:30 PM Fortunately I only waited about 15 minutes vs 30 when I first went on it in December

 

[UK-Trigg]

Didn't make it to the park Monday, damn that super bowl hangover.

Trying again today, arrived at park by 6am, was amazed to be up by the turnstiles. Later realised park didn't open 8 not 7 as I thought. At least I made front of the line for Starbucks.

Fingers crossed that I get a decent boarding group today.

Boarding group 6,result.

Now boarding.

 

[UK-Trigg]

Everything went perfect this morning, got in, hit a really good boardingl group and got on and off the ride by 8.45.

Amazing ride.

Some posters on Magic are complaining that Disney is sometimes trying to squeeze in the last of the regular boarding groups at the end of the day, and Ops skipped the Rey Room and the Transport so they could accommodate the additional groups.

I don't feel bad for them that they got to ride the ride.

ahhh, but Chapek claims that all is the ride, not just the '4 minute ride portion'at the end.

They definitely missed on a big part of the experience for sure.

 

[UK-Trigg]

The whole thing forms the ride for me, it's the full experience that makes it so special, sure the trackless portion is great but without the rest of the show it would just be another ratatouille.

Yea, even I have to admit the best part of the experience is the troop transport segment

Unless the preshows are down that’s not the bottle neck to get people on. This makes no sense.

I’m assuming they wanted to get CMs off the clock ASAP and by skipping the Rey preshow and transport, it gets them on the ride faster. Especially if the hanger bay room was empty and CMs just waiting for guests.

 

[mainejeff]

If they missed the transport section...they missed the best part of the experience.

2 questions, because I'm going to DW in a couple weeks for the first time:

1. The parks open at 8 when we will be there (March 2nd). What time should I line up to get a boarding pass?
2. Do they only issue the boarding pass if you redeem your ticket at DHS or any of the parks if you have a park hopper?

Thanks!

1) They usually let you into the park 40 minutes before official opening, the boarding passes are given out on the app. Best to quit and fresh launch the app right at 7am to get the best pass. No waiting in line.
2) No you and everyone in your party who will be getting a pass need to be in DHS before open.

This is one of the world's most expensive Parks. They deserve to the full experience.

No one is entitled to anything even once in the gates. They got on the ride, which in and of itself is a hard thing to accomplish right now. I know the full experience is where it’s at and what adds to the immersion, but either way, they got to ride it which is more than tens of thousands of others can say on a daily basis.

That kind of thinking leads to declining by degrees.
