If you have been on social media at all this morning, you may have noticed people at home reporting they have achieved getting a boarding group. Here is what we know.
Fellow crew members are reporting that they were “practicing” and able to acquire a boarding group while not even being in the park this morning (February 26, 2020). Some people were reporting not even being in the state!
We know the crowds for people trying to get into the park to secure these boarding groups. There are no fast passes for this ride or a stand-by line so a boarding group is the only way.
Most post I have seen this morning, people have returned their boarding groups once they have seen they could get one without being in the park. Thank you to all that returned them! Your fellow Disney lovers in the parks really appreciate that today.
This can be really frustrating for people who plan their trip around trying to secure a boarding pass. Our own fellow writer and editor, Monica, is in the park today and was able to secure a boarding group. I can’t wait to hear her experience of the ride.
Hopefully, the attraction will run smoothly today, and have no to little down time! Fingers crossed for all of you in the park.
I hope Disney figures out this glitch in the system to be sure that you have to be in the park to acquire a boarding pass. Crossing my fingers again that this is straightened out before everyone’s attempt at trying for boarding groups tomorrow.
Here is all you need to know about acquiring a boarding group. In the near future more breakfast options will be available if you are in Hollywood Studios. Checkout the Milk Stand‘s new menu that is coming soon!
Did you practice this morning and get a boarding group? Tell us your thought on Kenny the Pirate Facebook page.

Has anything been reported regarding the type of phone you have and if it improves your odds of getting a boarding group? I was recently at Disneyland and was able to get a boarding group on 3 different days. My husband and neighbor standing beside me and with older phones was unable to get a boarding group. My husband is convinced my iPhone 11 somehow gave me an edge over other people.

It is more about having the most recent version and good phone connection than about which phone you are using.

I was there today. It sucked! The groups were gone in 32 seconds because of all these people. While Disney was purging the ones who didn’t have park admission, they did not add any groups to compensate those of us who were unsuccessful due to the glitch. Instead they were just going to send it to maintenance early. Hugely disappointed!

In my opiniom, Disney is guilty of false representation for advertising rise of resistance. I have been in hollywood stidios for 2vdays and both days thier system que has filled up in 10 seconds. If i had known that the odds of getting a boarding group is less than 1% I would have spent my money at another entertainment park. Totally disappointed in Disney’s lack of ride reliability. Must not have good engieers working systems. I could go on about having high expectations but i wont.

This is interesting to hear because my boyfriend and I both tried to get into boarding groups this morning and were unable. It didn’t seem to register that we were in the park when we were. We went to the Guest Experience tent and were told that groups were assigned in 30 seconds and they couldn’t help us other than offering a fast pass, at which point the Guest Experience castmember I was (politely and calmly) speaking with was inexplicably and astoundingly rude to me when I asked whether Slinky Dog counted. All in all a terrible experience (although I guess it was nice to ride SDD with no wait.)

Evidently they did NOT start breakfast at the Milk Stand today. Just to make sure your readers know current status
