Checklist & Tips for joining a Virtual Queue

Holding off on updating the instructions. As of now, the main thing that is different is the “Create your Party” page has changed to the “Review Details” page. It still take 3 (join) clicks to attempt, on the hour.

And of course, practicing is not happening anymore because MDE now recognizes that you don’t have a park reservation after hitting the 2nd join button instead of the 3rd.

Hoping the process changes more so there are less clicks. Let me know if any of you have a different experience on the ground. Thanks

Hey all:-) Just getting up to speed with this BG1 software for my upcoming trip (Sept 17). And my bottom line question is: does this software continue to provide an advantage to using the MDE app?

I have the proper page bookmarked on my iPhone and can see the steps/process involved. On my actual reservation day, should I use this bookmarked Safari page to try to get the boarding group or will Disney’s updates have affected the utility of this software? Am thinking I’ll use this softward, and my husband and kid will use the MDE regular process on their phones. Thanks!

Did you see post #658?

I believe it is working now but that does not mean it will work in the future? I would continue to watch here and on chat. Good luck!

You should see the numbers as you scroll up. It is about 34 posts up. Joel posted a video of upcoming changes. I think some have already taken place? See Bebe’s post right before your.

I would definitely still use BG1. Just test it out again closer to your trip to make sure it is still active.

Thanks, @Jeff_AZ and Tinker and bebe80. Yes, have read them! Will see where we are next week! Am hoping hoping that the crowds are low 16th-18th!

It sounds like another tweak was made to the Boarding Group process today…

EDIT: Nevermind, @StinsyLinson posted this while I was typing.

I was on MDE app this morning at 6:30 AM checking something else and I saw it, looks like it will make it easier for folks trying to get BG.

Yes, thank you! Was waiting for this.

Will update instructions soon.

This is almost a little scary, as it feels like they will no longer update/fix “live” if your whole party isn’t selected during the process

Anyone else get that sense?

Provided they have that information, perhaps.

Sorry! Didn’t see that anyone was typing when I posted. <3 - I assume this will alleviate some of the stress of Lightning Lane when that rolls out.

What happened to your second countdown, reschedule again?

“Then tap the join queue button as soon as it appears” sounds vaguely familiar.

Put on indefinite hold, since we just moved into a new home this past week. Life is in disarray for the near future. Want to get settled into the new home first before going on vacation.

That is why I was on MDE at 6:30 AM, DW & I were trying to see how long into the future are our 5-day tickets still good.
