You can actually practice the first few steps at home. You just won't get all the way to the end. You'll stop at the screen that asks about the tickets.

We rode around 6pm for BG 78 (we didn’t go there right when we were called).
It was a quick process, in and out in 20-30 minutes, I didn’t time it exactly. Somethings are not running the ‘main’ way, but are running in their ‘backup’ way.
Still a great ride and the ‘changes’ don’t take away from the experience.
I hope it holds together for many more BG’s today.

The drama is real. We go from early breakdowns to the best Friday ever for the attraction. I'm not sure if when I actually go on the attraction if it will be quite as exciting as watching all of this unfold from my bunker.
Tomorrow is 8AM open, so M&F will open at 6:30AM as per the custom.

Up to 129. Wonder what time they will or did stop calling numbers.

Looks like they are making a final push for BGs...

They're still calling...129 was just called about 2 minutes ago. My guess is 8:30.

OK, looks like 131 is it for the night unless they pull a fast one...
Best Friday ever, despite the slow start.

This is answered on the first page of this superthread. Look at the second post for the information on the parking structure and parking lot.

Standing in line now at 7… It looks like all gates are magic morning, does anyone know if there a particular lines we should stand in if we don’t have magic morning?
Just a couple of quick data points from my phone before we head home after two days in the park.
We got BG 27 Thursday near The Mad Hatter and BG 25 at the entrance to Adventureland. Both were my 10-year-old on an iPhone 6S using Mint Mobile, which resells bandwidth from T-Mobile and throttles speed significantly whenever the network is busy. It’s not unusual for her to have significant bandwidth issues in busy parts of town around home, so we were shocked she got it. The rest of the group was two newer iPhones on AT&T and two newer iPhones at home.
Process was closing all open apps, started DLR app about 5 mins mins ahead. Pressed Find Out More when she saw the :59 change to :00. Both days, the button was gray so she went to My Status and got right in. She had practiced a lot at home and decided My Status worked better than backing out, though I disagreed and ping ponged back and forth in frustration. It’s hard to replicate at home because it always worked smoothly. I couldn’t believe the Mint Mobile phone beat out the two phones at home on WiFi.
A nearby group was trying to figure it out and I told them our plan. They got ahold of someone at home, who quickly installed the app got them 53.
Rode both days without a hitch, including a great rider swap experience one day. Thursdays line lasted a bit longer but wasn’t that bad. Loved the ride, and found it well worth the hassle.
The BG process doesn’t bother me, but it did hold us hostage the rest of your day as we didn’t know we’d be called and felt we couldn’t do the parks the way we normally do. But again, well worth it.
Lines to get in Friday were really stressful. I was shocked to log in and not see reports of people unable to get in. Line just inside Harbor security went to DCA and wrapped BACK to DLP gates. Or at least that’s what everyone thought was happening, but it was really chaotic. Those people then turned around and crowded forward, essentially jumping a LOT of angry people.
Thanks to everyone who has been posting tips and data points.

On Thursday a few gates at the far right were normal Entrance. Don’t know if that’s standard practice or not.

Usually the gates on the far right are regular entrance. Though I'm guessing you know by now since Magic Morning started 15 minutes ago...

We’re here too and and almost every line is magic morning. I stood in 2 separate lines for a few minutes until I realized they were magic morning. Only a few lines on the far left (and probably far right- but haven’t checked) are normal. There are hundreds of people in this line already. We’re wrapped in a curve to the monorail and the line continues to downtown Disney. We got in this line a couple minutes before 7am.
