Backup groups at 7:02

Trying from home and I had backup available until 7:04 (and 15 seconds).

I tried at 7:01 and it already showed I was joining a backup
Edited to add: tomorrow is my only day to ride. It’s kind of scary that I had backups a minute before others reporting here. Hopefully it’s no issue with my phone/service
Would you go to HS on Thursday May 28th (no EMH at this point) or Sunday with EMH? I can’t decide if a weekday without EMH would be a better bet with crowds. I believe kids in the area are just finishing up with school about this time. Sole purpose is to ride ROTR.
Bump - to refresh do you men up swipe and kill the app or hit the “<“ to go back a page and then hit “Find out More”again ?
Remember that a low backup number is as good as a regular bg number. They have been getting through a lot of backups. You'll be fineI tried at 7:01 and it already showed I was joining a backup

Not just theoretically. Many people on this thread have reported doing this. If you got an early BG #, though, you'd have to turn around and go right back, especially now that it seems the early groups are given a 1-hour return window.Theoretically, could you scan your magic band to enter the park when the turnstiles open (say 6:30a), leave the park immediately, walk back to your room at the boardwalk, and join a boarding group from bed at 7?
Karma! First BG. You deserve it southFayettefan! Enjoy the ride.BG4.
Well done, fellow Tracfone user! Last week, I got BGs no higher than the 40s three out of four times. (The fourth was that day when VQ opened a minute early and I ended up with 87, which was still a 'regular' BG.)34 on my crappy tracphone. Happy!
The key factor is them being in the park before it opens. If they are trying for a group right at official park opening, they should have no problem scoring a regular group or backup that is low enough they will most likely ride.Kinda wish Disney would implement a limit to number of times a guest can ride (ie: 1x per week, or 1x per 30 days). Seems as though this would help everyone get a chance to ride on their vacation. If all of the boarding groups are gone in 1 minute, something needs to change...
My sister and her family are headed down in 2 weeks and they have 1 day at HS. Her son is an UBER Star Wars fan. They only go to Disney every five years. Seems so frustrating that if her cell phone isn't fast enough, they won't get to ride at all.
This was already discussed, kind of a dead topic at this point. Everyone who gets there in time for open has the same exact chance to ride. I'm sure if you or they were there and rode it once you would want the chance to ride it again too, and if they did this you wouldn't be able to. People kind of shoot themselves in the foot wishing for implementation of these kind of procedures.Kinda wish Disney would implement a limit to number of times a guest can ride (ie: 1x per week, or 1x per 30 days).
