group 80. I'm ok with that!

App says 82 & above are backups so you should be good,

We played at home with two phones. I’m curious is that the best way to go? Two phones? Or do we only attempt with one phone? It was slower for me to get the red button today with two phones then yesterday with one phone.

2 phones is 100% the way to go. If you have an old phone lying around, bring it, put it on the Disney WiFi, and try for 3.

Once again, my daughter's iPhone got us a BG while our 2 Androids didn't. We stood on Main Street near Carnation Cafe yesterday, and near Jolly Holiday today. We used our data on the Verizon network. CMs were advising guests to use Disneyland WiFi, but we chose to use our data since that worked for us yesterday. We are 96 today. Had 92 yesterday.

Got 124 - no shot but grateful for yesterday! (My last day for AP today so was trying for a second try). Was at flag pole, data - would not load for the join boarding group. Those around me are the same high groups. Hope others had better luck!

Yes, for those of you with boarding groups, please advise hardware, carrier, and method.

On my Android, (at home) I found that pulling down to refresh the My Status page did not work to activate the button, but going back from My Status did activate the red button.

Just as a note, Len Testa (@lentesta) posted on the WDWMagic boards that the Touring Plans/The Unofficial Guide team has been counting riders exiting the ride; at WDW they’re currently averaging (in between times where the ride is obviously down) 1200-1400/ hour while at DLP it’s only 700 so far.
Lots of upside to get after.

The hourly capacity is intended to settle at ~1700/hr.

2 questions: Can you still get a MP right away after you get a boarding pass for ROTR? And I know they say you have to be in Disneyland park, but has anyone tried to get a boarding pass from DCA? It works for MP, so I'm just curious if someone has tried it. I think it's worth a try.

I have not yet seen anyone willing to risk a try from DCA...

I'm starting to think the way to go is go to the park......all while running an android emulator at home on your stable internet and run a script that checks you in at exactly 8am

I have an IPhone 11 Pro Max on ATT. On Jan 18 and 19, I waited by the Frontierland entrance because I had full signal there. Making sure I had all my parties tickets linked, I opened the app fresh at 758am and waited for my clock to go to 8am. Right when that happened, I hit Find Out More. If join wasn’t on, immediately go back and try again and smack that join button, verify group, and continue. I got 5 the first day for a party of 6 and 30 the second for party of 5.

I’d also recommend you just only have your group’s tickets linked if you have a bunch linked to your app.

Group 74! Never been here for opening, but thought we'd try and so appreciate reading about everyone's experiences here. We live 45 min away at entered the parking structure at 6:57. Was in the security line at 7:18 and on the tram at 7:38. We lined up at disney, very nervous about whether we'd be in by 8 as they hadn't started scanning. But we made it in at 7:51 and I got BG 74!!!

This is interesting, as yesterday @dina444444 and others were around the flagpole and got very low boarding groups...

I have been capturing the network traffic of the app in the morning and it looks fairly trivial to write a script to directly make the calls needed as opposed to going through the trouble of running an emulator.

Note: I have been doing this to try to figure out which navigation in the app might be best to use, not to write such a script. I would not use my account with such a script to avoid getting locked out or flagged in any way.

I’ve been reading on the WDW thread that most people are getting boarding groups now. It makes sense that Florida as increased the capacity over time and DL will get there too.

Got group 21 today!

I flew down from Seattle this weekend specifically for this and it’s paid off well!

very happy this weekend.

Can someone explain to me what the benefit is to selecting the My Status button instead of Join Boarding Group from the RotR page? It seems like this would add an additional step to the process but from what I’ve read, it sounds like this is the consensus of the best way to go?

 

[laugard]

I should add - I was using an Android. I opened the app at 7:59, then right at 8 tapped Find out more. Join Boarding Group was available to tap and after making sure the group in my party was correct, I continued and was in!

 

[Mar Mar Binks]

k what did you do!!!! Did you open app right at 759 and then join. Or open app right at 8?

We actually had a friend do it from home! We were able to get to the boarding group selection right away also but they had already beat us by about two seconds.

edit: we were on the main app page and right at 8 and 1 sec selected find out more. Boarding group was lit up and my husband was able to select boarding groups but by then my friend it already gotten in. So likely got us maybe a few boarding groups faster for him to beat us by about three or four seconds.

The last 2 days I have been trying to do that method on my Android phone and didn't have any luck - only worked after I forced closed the app. Weird.
