They’ve called 126!

At 129 now, which is the highest BG called on a Monday. I think we need to get to 130 to tie most groups called. I think we started at 10 today?

122 groups called on 1/27. So, if we started at 10 we would need to get to 131 to tie, 132 to break the record.

Just wanted to thank all on this forum for their tips and for sharing their experiences in obtaining a BG. It helped us have an awesome SWGE experience and overall wonderful trip to DLR with my boys.

A quick review of our experience:

-Thursday, 2/13: DL EMH, arrived at turnstiles from GCH a little before 6:30 am. Lines just past planters. Gates opened a little before 7, and we were held at end of MS. Released about 5-10 min later. Be sure to have most current CC information on app. I didn’t, and had a slight panic/delay in purchasing MP right before rope drop, but still managed a 8 am FP for SM. Fast walked to PP, and happy to report we were one of the first ones on. Such a sweet ride! Rode rest of FL, then AB around 7:45 before deciding at last minute to try BG from Red Rose since we wanted breakfast and had read here that it was a good place to try. Sat outside, and when clock on my IPhone X on AT&T turned 8, clicked FOM, to find JBG not lit. Went to MS, and still JBG not lit. Luckily, 10 year old with my old IPhone 6 on WIFI got BG 73. My JBG did finally light up. We were called around 6:30 pm that night and line moved steadily. Awesome ride and boys wanted to try for another BG next day.

-Friday, 2/14: DCA EMH, arrived at 6:30 to find few people. I guess everyone was going over to DL. First in line at our turnstile and when gates opened at 7, boys were through onto CL, since no rope drop. We were first on to RSR, then turned right back around to DL to try for another BG. Unfortunately, when we exited DCA at 7:15, DL were backed up to DCA and curved. We got into a line and made it into DL around 7:45. Sat halfway up train stop ramp and ten year old was on platform. Right at 8, clicked FOM, then MS to find JBG lit. Got BG 29. Old phone on WIFI kept shutting app down. This was the day ROTR didn’t start boarding until after 1 pm, and I really don’t remember when we were called.

-Saturday, 2/15: DL EMH, we were exhausted by now so didn’t make it to the gates until a after 7. It was insane. One regular line stretched past Starbucks in DTD. Lines were so long we had a hard time finding the EMH/MM gates. They actually changed over our gate to regular while we were still in line. Finally made it in a little before 7:45, and decided to try near Plaza Inn. Stood by the little landscaped island with the lone tree across from PI, facing the castle. Same technique as day before, but got BG 25. Used our SM FP, then had to stop off at first aid, so by the time we showed up, our window was almost an hour in. Ride was down when we arrived, so left figuring we had an hour to kill. Boys rode Splash SR, which took forever. By the time we returned our BG was a few outside the window, but they still let us on. I still had the barcode active and they were able to scan us in. I think this time we got the B mode of the ride, but the boys still enjoyed it as it was different than what we had experienced prior.

Last but not least, if you get a chance, you must order the Forest Mushroom pizza at the Craftsman Grill at GCH. It is seriously the BEST pizza you will ever have! I’m still thinking about it five days later!

They don’t close till midnight so I could see them calling all groups again today.

Any Jawa sightings? Have you looked into the cockpit?

Sadly, this seemed to be a purely terrestrial flight.

Opening holiday weekend (Fri-Mon) resulted in a total of 382 boarding groups called.

This past holiday weekend (Fri-Mon) resulted in a total of 566 boarding groups called.

I hope you mean the record, not the ride...

The Chart...has spoken

Also, let's take a moment and appreciate that in the last 7 days, 6 of them have been the best ever for that day of the week (with Thursday being the black sheep).

interesting why they closed early today (or jawas attacked late). Still, great weekend when it was needed with all the crowds.

Thank you for all the hard work and time you‘ve
put into this, please know it’s appreciated!!

Just making sure, purely for the sake of “helping” get into the parks quicker, does a Plaza ADR at 8:10am for a park opening of 8am help anymore since the turnsty,es open so early?

 

[Tennor]

How do cast members know who is in the park for magic morning and who is let in early just for main St?
I can't find a good strategy guide for magic mornings and getting a BG

For now @dina444444 is doing the hard part I'm just posting screenshots.

They didn't really close early. Regardless of when the park closes, they seem to target having the attraction clear by 10pm for evening maintenance. This means that they usually stop calling around 8:30 so that the last folks are getting in the queue at 9:30 and done by 10. Tonight they called until 9, so actually a little longer than usual. And of course on Saturday operated into extra time due to a late breakdown.

It’s possible they only distributed through group 150 this morning.

We walked over after fantasmic and they let us on! We were the only people in our ride vehicle and it was INCREDIBLE!!!! Seriously mind blowing and we were grateful to get in because it means we can sleep in a bit tomorrow totally worth the wait.
