They have a Tise of the Resistance pin that was released here today, same as they had at WDW - come to think of it there were a few other pins I remember seeing there but not here. They didn’t make any fuss about ROTR merch here, at WDW opening they had a seperate line to buy that for the day.

As many of you know, crowds were already
in place at the park gates well before 4:00 this morning. I just spoke with Disney. They told me that the Toy Story lot opened at midnight last night “as an exception.” However, structures will open at their regular time of 6:30 tomorrow and Sunday, the CM assured me. Somehow I’m not 100% confident about that. I guess we’ll know for sure on the day.
A friend is there now. He got to the park gates at 6:00 and simply walked in; there was no line because most of the other guests were already in the park. Rope drop came at 7:45, fifteen minutes earlier than usual. He said that the boarding groups only became available through the app at 8:00, the official park opening time. All groups were gone in eleven minutes. He got group 89 and by 10:00 they were already up to group 30. More details as I get them.

THANK YOU all for posting today!!! We arrive tonight and tomorrow will be our big day! I was trying just for the heck of it from my phone in my office in Texas , on high speed Wifi. I could not get the button to turn red for about 1 minute, and then I was offered a back up BG which I could not take since I am not scanned into the park (several states away!!). I was not happy that going back and forth in the app screens was not turning the button red. I even closed the app entirely, still no red button. Had to close it a second time, and then the button turned red. Praying we have better luck tomorrow.
Also a very big thank you to everyone for keeping this thread free of ride spoilers!! I managed to read all 10,000 pages (seemed like it anyway) of the WDW thread on BG and ROTR without seeing any major spoilers. I so appreciate everyone here keeping it that way so we can have some surprises tomorrow when we (hopefully) ride!! MTFBW everyone!!!

CMs verify that you have a boarding pass at the queue entrance, just by looking and not scanning. Then you enter the line and about 500ft down the line there are about 6 CM scanning the BG barcodes. The BG barcode looks exactly like a MaxPass fastpass. Ours was only scanned once. They do not scan actual DLR tickets/passes.

Thanks!
Where exactly do you go in the Disneyland app to join a boarding group?

I bet they’ll do what they always do: hold non EMH/MM guests on Main Street, and allow MM/EMH guests through a checkpoint near Plaza Inn.

Make sure you’ve updated the app. You should see this on the home page and then you click on find out more:
Right on the homepage should be a section for rise of the resigtance and a button for "find out more"

A few hints that may help:
Make sure the app is updated
Don’t have anything else open/running on your phone
Do a hard shutdown on your phone the evening before

If there aren’t any more breakdowns, at 12 groups/hour, you can be called back in about 6 hours. That’s plenty of time - well before the park closes.

8 BGs called in this awesome attraction’s 3rd hour.
That’s between 8&9 per hour. That’s pretty low compared to WDW on a normal day so I hope it picks up!
But there are 12 hours left in the DL day, so even at that pace they’ll call around 100 more BGs. Definitely too early to count any group number out!

I hope you're right but it seems to have slowed to a crawl after the initial flurry unfortunately.

I'd say you've got better than even odds. They're at 37 now, and even if they only average 7 BG per hour they'll get to you.

Thanks! I was just coming on here to ask what people knew about parking opening times this weekend.
