We will be a group of 5. Our last day, if we have a BG for after 3 members of our party leave (4:00 PM), could my daughter and I use their passes to ride twice? Does that make sense?
I'm not sure anyone has asked that yet.
Assuming you have 5 passes, and you only scan 3, I _think_ you would be able to use the 2 remaining after you went the first time. I can't see why you couldn't. But, plan your time so they don't expire while you are in line the first time.
I think this has been done. At least I know you could do it pre-COVID because we met someone in line who had his BG texted to him from his friend who had to leave the park prior to using it, and I can't see why it would not work now.We will be a group of 5.

We were there this past Monday, 5/24. Never been on ROtR before. I don't know what I did wrong, other than the fact that I didn't practice like some of you did. Otherwise, I followed the directions exactly. I clicked "Join Boarding Group" when time.gov said it was one second past 7 am. Didn't get a boarding pass. Perhaps the wifi at our timeshare in Carlsbad was a bit slow, but really...
So drove from Carlsbad to DLR, got to the security line at 8:30am, got in the park by 9. Not bad. At noon, tried again for a boarding pass. Couldn't even get on wifi at the plaza, so used my data plan, which was undoubtedly slow. Got a standby pass, number 201. They never made it to that number.
But wait, Disney CMs to the rescue! DW and I were just discussing this and that with the CM at the retail location (Star Traders?). She asked if we had been on ROtR, and we recounted our tale of woe. She said, let's go over there to see if 201 may make it. Before we knew it, she had gotten us to the head of the line, and we were on the ride! Yay CMs!
Great ride.

Do you really mean you waited one second past 7am or is that a typo? If not a typo, it's one second before. I would guess that was what helped cause you to not get a BG
At 6:59:59 is when you want to click the first button to get to the page where the actual job button will now be available.
And yeah. Wifi is notoriously terrible at DLR. I do not recommend it especially trying for a BG.
Yes, 7:00:01. I would assume that at 6:59:59 you would error out for being too soon? Is that not correct? And the spreadsheet that a PP posted said the BGs ran out at 15 seconds past the hour. So I still don't understand why I didn't get one at 7:00:01? Can anyone explain?
Oh this makes me nervous!Less then 1 second and they were gone
I will try again at 12 but I don't think I will be riding rise again anytime soon.
How did you practice? Were you waiting for a button to appear or did you click the join boarding group button when your time changed to 7:00.00?Only 3 weeks until our trip and I'm starting to get nervous about getting our ROTR boarding groups. I've practiced at home before, but this week it seems like things are different now that there will be Web Slingers boarding group drop at same time? When I went to boarding groups this morning, I never saw a button pop up to join.
Am I missing something?
Also, do people with older phones even have a chance? I have an iPhone 7, DH has a Android phone that is probably 5-6 years old, and we'll also try with iPad on wifi (at least for the 7 am). I think both the cell phones use the sprint network.

It popped up for rotr. I “tried” right at 7am and was able to click join and get to the tickets page. I’m going on Monday and am getting myself ready again for the rotr drops.Only 3 weeks until our trip and I'm starting to get nervous about getting our ROTR boarding groups.
