Yee of little faith; or as SW lore goes -- 'i don't believe it!' 'that's why you fail'That's what I was thinking, maybe people with 100+ BG got tired of waiting and left

That’s incorrect. We were called at 5:24 and had until 7:24.
Mobile Ordering is your friend -- Jolly Holiday -- refreshment cornerStarbucks and Jolly Holiday. Lines were HORRENDOUS. People near us at opening showed up to join their group at 7:45 and said they’d waited over 90 minutes for Starbucks - could be a bit of an exaggeration, but it’s feasible given how the line looked!
ETA: Oh, and Emporium.
I wonder if they changed it at some point in the afternoon.Got here at 3:30 this morming, got boarding group 110, and I'm in line right now!!! So excited!!!
I was only allowed 1hr to get back. 110 was called at 8:30 and had until 9:30 to get there.
I wonder if it depends on the time of day and regular vs back up group and how things are going for the ride.I wonder if they changed it at some point in the afternoon.
Mobile Ordering did not allow you to specify a pickup time prior to 8:00.Mobile Ordering is your friend -- Jolly Holiday -- refreshment corner
Are you still in the park? It's looking good for 113!
They need to be consistent. 3 hours for some, 1 hour for others a few hours later? Messy.I wonder if it depends on the time of day and regular vs back up group and how things are going for the ride.
People on Instagram were reporting that the notification initially told them they had 1 hr to board, but when they checked their status 5 min later, it adjusted to 2 hrs.I wonder if they changed it at some point in the afternoon.
awesome! So glad it worked out for you!In line! Thanks for the good vibes everyone
I agree. The parks were dead today, considering. I think Disney is shooting themselves in the foot with the Boarding Group nonsense. Word will get out and people won't even bother coming if they can't be there at opening.
If they want crowds, they need to use a standard standby line. People need to know that if they WANT to wait in a line, they have that option. The local AP population doesn't support needing to be in the park at opening time to even have a chance. It's unsustainable. Too many people arrive later in the day. The demographic here isn't like WDW and should not try to operate the same way.
This is a repeat of the opening day GE hype. The first day brought the early birds and then that was it. I was on a FB group that was spewing the same nonsense about how today was going to be a "zoo" and so many people stayed away, but I had a feeling it was going to be kinda dead, because of this boarding group garbage.
My son and I had a very enjoyable day in a mostly empty park. Didn't want to try and ride RotR and didn't even arrive until 8:40.
It might have to do with how full the line is and how full they want it to be. If you only get an hour, people will rush over pretty quick. If you have three hours, the same number of people may arrive more spread out.They need to be consistent. 3 hours for some, 1 hour for others a few hours later? Messy.
The Jolly Holiday and Starbucks and a few places in downtown disney.Were any stores or food places open early in the morning before the official park hour?
I did mobile order, but Jolly's Holiday's mobile order didn't have a return window until 8:00. So I put in our order at 6:30, and then we got our BG at 8 and went over there to hit "I'm here" and get our food.Mobile Ordering is your friend -- Jolly Holiday -- refreshment corner
This is something new and different. They've always said 2 hours to returnI wonder if they changed it at some point in the afternoon.
Check your return time when your BG is called! People are reporting that the return time can be anywhere from 1 to 3 hours, so always double check!
