Thanks for the info GeekByExample, btw at what time did you arrive at the park?

Was it packed with people when you arrived?

Or less people that what we have been seeing in YouTube for the past few days?

7:30am. Got my boarding group 24 notification. 7:37 boarding groups 8-25.

We got out of our Uber at DHS around 6:25, less than five minutes before 6:30 park open. Seemed like All tapstiles opened and they moved Quickly enough. Today it looks like they started with boarding group 8- obviously those people were the very first at DHS. Less than 10 minutes later we got 16 higher at BG 24.

8am and it looks like they are not moving through boarding groups as quickly- currently loading 8-27 per app.

It’s 8:40 and boarding groups are now gone for Tuesday. I checked at 8:30 and they were still available so they lasted roughly as long as Monday. Now boarding groups 8-33

Spent five-ten minutes staring at Stormtroopers before they took us out of queue around 9:15am. Paper fastpasses only.

Paper are good cause you skip the line. The digital ones only let you join the queue. Sorry you didn’t get to ride! Let me know when it opens. Loving the play by play.

I have a friend at WDW right now and he says rumor is they will open the park at 6am on Sat 12/14. He is heading to GE again tomorrow and will try to get confirmation but thought I would share in case it’s true

11:30… Kylo must have damaged the ride system as we’re down again; this time close to the end of the trackless… Track?

Not our day I guess since we’re leaving for MCO soon. Better luck to everyone else!

Does that mean you basically got through the whole ride except the very end?

This article has a chart showing average BG call times. It’s a good supplement to the data I’ve been tracking. The averages aren’t super meaningful because downtime can cause huge swings in when a BG is called, but it will give you a rough idea within 30-40 BGs or so. :wink:

It is interesting to see that the slope increases somewhat around 12:30-ish.

Yes - it has been pointed out by someone in another forum that this is partially because downtime has occurred more frequently in the morning (which you can see in my timelines so far), but also because later in the day, more people who have BGs have ditched the park. So you will have fewer guests per BG remaining who actually show up.

I do wonder how many BGs are wasted each day, and if they’re adjusting how many they give out as they gather data on that.

It’s very reassuring to see what looks like a pattern emerging as far as opening time and how long BGs are available. Repetitive, I know, but I’ll say it again: thank you.
