Thanks! Do you know if we can line up at 8 (8am opening) to get the first choice of times? With all the reservations (fast passes, Oga’s, droid, etc) we have a tight window!
We waited in Jedi training sign up line for about 15 min after park opening (it was 7 am that day). All times except 2 pm were available.

Awesome! Thanks!! 
I live in Decatur, GA and our school district has has the balance schedule. MY kids are on break this week.
We at Touring Plans tracks about 125 school distinct schedules. Presidents’ week is a popular break in the North East. Next week will also be busy due to Mardi Gras.

My boarding group also got a 60 minute return window. We’re in for the night. Planning on an early arrival at DHS tomorrow, and then rope drop at Epcot.

Today RotR had a good day. All BG and BBG were honored by 7:30. First day in the past 6 days where the rate of Boarding Groups per hour is higher than the 7-day moving average.

Awesome! Did you get any confirmation that that was the last BBG issued? Or just conjecture?

Just conjecture. Return window was set at 60 minutes since 4:30, and BG 115 was called for an hour before the queue closed.

Our Houston area district recently moved to this schedule as well (breaks in October and February).
Boarding group 7 today for a group of 11. We had four adults trying about .5 seconds apart starting at 7:59:59.5 and first finger got in.

It’s crazy to me that the groups have been going faster now than they were in initial weeks. We went January 2nd with a 7am opening (got BG65 at 7:01am) and the BG were open longer than they’ve been for past month!

Maybe more people learned what needed to be done? Or maybe the crowds booked their Star Wars trip later to be sure it was open and to skip holiday crowds?
I was at galaxys edge in September and January. January was far more crowded.
The 8 am opening might be making it more friendly to more people too.

Although I blame Disney entirely for their inability to get this thing running at full capacity, it is also worth mentioning that this past week, CLs have been pretty much stuck a 10 across all the parks due to mid-winter break season…and this means a significantly higher-than-normal crush of crowds, which is just exacerbating the problems.
So, if Disney can get the ride operating at full capacity, and if you look during time periods when crowds are little more sane, it should help chances of obtaining a BG, methinks.

mehopes so for my April trip… CLs should be 4-6 range. Opening times still listed as 9AM. I imagine that will change to 8AM though, especially with MMRR opening.

So will Everyone else it looks like haha
When is a good time to go anymore???
I didn’t think it would be this bad.
Me neither. We usually go in June, but are unable to this year. We were all looking forward to March with the cooler weather and lower crowds (LOL). I figured it would be crowded at Easter, but not this early. There is never a good time anymore…
