The first week in Feb (except for 2/1 & 2/2) is still 9am. Sigh! Who knows at this point?

Sayhello

I checked earlier today and it was still 8:00, which works better for some in the family. We have no choice, but to make it work.

Ugh. They moved the 2nd also. After that is still 9am. Hoping they will move that first week back also. Since they moved next week back I feel sure they will move more in February back.

And good luck to everyone in the park today with a BG,fingers crossed!

Everyone needs to double check new fastpass openings for the time changes.

I was in the middle of lamenting having to get up an extra hour earlier when I saw this post... I just got our FP+'s for SDD and TSMM on 1/27 and 1/29 moved up from mid-afternoon to the morning. It'll give us more to do during the immediate hours after rope drop!

I wouldn't have even thought to check that. So thanks!

Boarding groups 53 - 83 as of 5:49pm!

Grabbed a 7:20 am Star Tours for 1/30

 

[krbkaklks]

All regular boarding groups have now been called! Not a bad recovery after a terrible start to the day.

 

[SouthFayetteFan]

Woah! They just clicked up to 86 so they won’t just stop with the regular BGs today.

 

[dina444444]

I imagine they are going to be done calling groups soon with the park closing at 8pm.

We finally gave up and left the park. I was able to snag a backup boarding group (#129) for my family of 5 early this morning. I received a push notification around 2:38pm that “Unfortunately we will not be able to accommodate your backup group today”.

We were disappointed for that news, but the other lesson to be learned here is that with the ride down and hundreds of people waiting around all day waiting for their BG, it becomes so incredibly crowded. I thought I would have better luck getting on rides since we were nearly at rope drop, but they were all 45+ minutes and shows and character greets weren’t going at 8am. We had a FP for SDD, and that was good. TSMM went down when we were in line- over an hour waiting at 7:45am!!! We left to make our SDD FP, but thankfully a guest services person was able to get us a return FP. I noticed later that SDD was down. We didn’t rush to sign up for Jedi Training, and we were put on an alternate list at 9:45am. It took 5 tries to get my kids in, but we eventually made it.

I understand that rides go down, but today was just a really bad day for Disney and Hollywood Studios. The domino effect for crowds when rides malfunction is awful. We still made the best of it and my kids still had fun, but I’m glad this wasn’t a once in a lifetime dream trip for us. What a disappointing day.

Took us an hour from tapping in to exit. Y'all.........best.ride.ever!! Good luck to everyone who has yet to ride!!!

 

[SouthFayetteFan]

So today will not go down as the "worst day". The on-again/off-again downtime on 1/17 moved many less BGs than today's ultra delayed start.

What time did you book your boarding group if you don't mind me asking?

Color me surprised but they aren't done yet. Just clicked up to BG90 at 6:10!
