Boarding Pass Drama getting MORE DRAMATIC? | Disneyland 2020-01-25 pt. 1

[@KD-bk7gd]

As an AP, I rode this once and refused to try consecutive days to give others who may not be an AP a chance to ride. I can ride it again in a couple months. I know others don't feel that way, and that's cool too, but watching this video makes me happy in my decisions.

[@emilylynn2344]

That's kind of you. So many of us who only go once a year or a lifetime would not even get a slight chance if it weren't the kindness of people like you. 😊

[@Pantheragem]

I was a passholder for 20 years. Watching people act like this makes me happy I let it go.

[@KD-bk7gd]

@@emilylynn2344 the fact that somewhere there's children from other states that are taking their once in a lifetime trip, and are upset because they don't get a chance, while AP's have gone numerous times is ridiculous in my opinion. I'd rather others get a chance. But hey, that's just me, and I'm not judging other people who make other decisions, it's just my decision to wait again. Have a good day!

[@angelmcgovern116]

@@KD-bk7gd you mean these kids aren't just happy to be at Disneyland? Wow. It's Rise of the Resistance or nothing? As someone who has never been able to get to Disneyland, I'm shocked.

Not all heroes wear capes (or maybe you do!). Honestly, from a Canadian that can only visit every few years, I sincerely thank you for showing such grace & courtesy!

[@heyitsblinded]

I love how trying to get on ROTR has become a bonding activity for complete strangers at Disney

[@philipknappe1697]

imagine if you made a trip from some distance with your family for the one time at disneyland trip and the ride is full of locals who have rode the ride 10 times already . i would be pissed.

[@julick8412]

What I'm afraid of.....I haven't been in years and am going in February.....I have a 3 day ticket and so help me if I don't get on that ride for trying for 3 days. I REALLY hope there's a system in place that it prioritizes out of state tickets, rather than annual pass holders. I mean annual pass holders can literally try every day, and people who are there on actual vacation don't have that opportunity so that would make sense wouldn't it? Then again it's Disney so who knows, I'm probably completely wrong.

[@insaneone4369]

That would be stupid. Why would someone do that?

[@FreshBakedDisney]

There's still the rest of Disneyland. The greatest place on earth.

[@philipknappe1697]

no your not wrong

[@philipknappe1697]

true , but it would still be the thing that could ruin the trip so the locals should take that in mind when they have experienced the ride many times already . just my opinion its courtesy towards others.

[@donnawatters6616]

The people are figuring out they HAVE to be there by 8 to get on the ride, so more people are getting there early...it would be nice if the people who have annual passes and live in CA go on it once, and let people who are traveling there get a chance to ride it.

[@PSPSMITH2022]

I think Disneyland is so much less magical now that everyone is walking/standing around staring at their phones to manage "boarding passes", remote FastPasses, and mobile meal orders. It used to be such a immersive experience simply entering with a ticket or AP. Hopefully they can improve this.

[@ellieespinoza8088]

@@PSPSMITH2022 I definitely agree with you. When I'm at the park, I am rarely on my phone because I love to enjoy the environment and that magic around me. The simplicity of walking around Disneyland and seeing magic unfold is amazing. I just hope that more people start to see the beauty of Walt's original Magic Kingdom.

[@melaniec2742]

Hate me if you want to but, I think Disney should be blocking AP holders that have ridden rise of the resistance from boarding passes for a couple of weeks after riding. Spread them around a bit

[@crystiannacunningham4105]

Melanie C I get this, and a lot of people make this point, but AP holders pay a lot of money for their passes and the whole reason they get them is to enjoy the parks whenever they want so no, I don’t think there should be a limit. Tourists have the same opportunity to get boarding passes as AP holders. Not trying to fight or anything, just sharing my opinion.

[@RealChrisBenoit]

@@crystiannacunningham4105 I think a better solution is including a 1 time use free boarding pass for AP holders. They can show up at the park 1 time per 6 months and get a boarding group automatically.

[@lilphoenix]

I can't believe the number of people throwing a fit over this queue system. It's basic physics that the ride can only carry so many people per day, and right now it breaks down so frequently that the number can vary wildly. Someone is always going to lose out. It sucks, but it's a fact of life. At least this way you know right away if you didn't make it, and can revise your plans accordingly, instead of wasting your day in line and still not making it on. No, it is not a better idea for Disney to allow you to wait in standby just because "you're willing to." If Disney developed their protocols based on what people are "willing" to do, they'd be in deep trouble. The problems with allowing people to wait in a massive line are health, safety, show, and profit. It is not healthy to expect people to wait extended periods without food and restroom access. It is not safe to allow a crowd that large to congregate in one area, in case evacuation becomes necessary. It is not good show to allow the line to encompass and extend beyond Galaxy's Edge. And it is not profitable for people to be tied up in line when the virtual queue gives them freedom to wander and shop while "in line." I think the virtual queue is a pretty equitable solution. I do kind of wish locals who've already ridden multiple times would chill and let new riders have a better chance. 🙂 But eventually they'll get bored and tired of fighting for a spot, too.

[@icanmakeyoupur]

FINALLY SOMEONE SAID IT. Every point on here (including the last one) were all spot on! The virtual queue allows tourists, and even AP folks, to make the most of their disney trip by letting them do whatever else they want to do while virtually waiting their turn without wasting valuable time.

[@kelsmister]

I think the problem lies in the lottery based system. You could get up bright and early at 5 and not make it while someone who just waltzed in at 7:55 gets in. It should be first come, or better yet half and half. Offer half the passes for the app and the other on stand by wait.

[@barbhawkinson659]

So much for getting to the park early to get on your favorite rides before the crowds...

[@lcflngn]

Good point, seems to work well to get more folks in early, very interesting change. Have to wait n see what happens. Fewer folks in the later hours? More exhausted kids? I’m guessing our tried n true ways may take a hit for a while...

[@VegasGoldenJediKnight]

Wait til Avengers fully opens in Anaheim & it’s the only place in the country to have it. There’s a reason they’re building a new hotel...

[@madelinekahl2351]

My family and I plan on a Disney vacation and want to ride this new attraction but it looks like the park is overrun by locals riding this attraction over and over making it impossible for travelers from out of state to also enjoy Disneyland. I've already seen multiple videos from local vloggers who have already 2+ times ridden this ride. Disney needs to help the ratio of locals to tourists I think. So sad :-(

[@insaneone4369]

They don't care because the locals shell out the most cash so they will accommodate them. I don't agree but that's their current business model. They place too much emphasis on profit. Profit over longevity is their core issue.

[@icanmakeyoupur]

Best thing to do is just wait it out til the crowds and hype dies down. There'll be a standby with a fastpass line within time. Vloggers pay heavy money for these disney trips too

[@speeddash4979]

I think videos aren’t always as they appear to be. The attraction JUST opened so there is still the hype, however most of us CMs are blocked out for the first few hours of opening to allow more guests the opportunity to ride. When we are unblocked, it’s during the week and it hasn’t been as crazy. We had boarding group in the 100s and were still able to ride. Obviously more people on the weekends, but it’s been pretty nice on the weekdays. I think you’ll be just fine and may the force be with you!

[@mitchobrien8431]

Just got back from a trip to Disneyland on monday, spent 5 days out in California and had a 3 day park jopper with max pass plus. I was EXTREMELY fortunate to be able to ride ROTR twice. As someone who has been to Disneyland/Disneyworld hundreds of times (primarily to Disneyworld, although i prefer Disneyland) and as some who views theme park rides as one of the most dynamic and engaging artforums there is, ROTR was one of the most incredible experiences of my life. Before even getting into the queue of the ride, I was grinning ear to ear, and when the reveal of the Storm Troopers on the space hangar happened, I genuinely started crying. I was laughing so hard and so excited and impressed by what i was seeing I could barely handle myself. That Laughter/crying of tears from joy more or less continued until the end of the ride. The funny thing is, when i got to ride it the second time, the same exact thing happened, except this time it started during the opening preshow with the hologram of Rey. Again, this mixture of intense laughter/tears of joy continued throughout the rest of the experiences as it did the first time. And this wasnt just shedding a few tears, i was practically balling like baby, and laughing harder then i think ive ever laughed in my life. Both times i rode, this happened to me, it was surreal. When i got off the ride, i was literally speechless. The wildest part is that im not even a diehard Star Wars fan. Obviously, ive seen all 9 mainline films, with New Hope and Empire being downright scifi masterworks. The other 7 have differ in their quality, with a few of them being downright bad. But as someone who truly appreciates the beauty and technological feat of theme park rides, ROTR absolutely a modern classic and possibly the greatest ride ever built. By the way, I really appreciate this channels content, have been a long time fan and always look forward to new videos from you.

Disney should block AP's 7 days after riding Rise of the Resistance. I feel like AP's have ridden this ride multiple times already and not giving tourism a chance to experience this ride. It'll probably take me months to go on this ride since I'm not an early bird person 😝

They can no longer get a boarding group after 7 days or less that way guest that are paying for a single day or multiple days can have a chance to experience it. It's not really a block but more of a limit of how many times an AP can ride within a week. Like I said. It's just my own opinion.

Boarding pass = For locals and APs only. I live 6 hours away and the idea of trying head to Disneyland to ride RotR and having to play the Boarding Pass lotto just isnt going to happen. So yeah I doubt I'll be going to Disneyland anytime soon. Thanks Disney for that. Not a fan of boarding pass lotto. It looks fun but you're only seeing the people that won the lotto. How many in the crowd didn't get in? I'm sorry but this is just dumb. Stand by lines have always worked in the past even if the line goes all the way to Haunted Mansion. It worked for Racers and Flight of Passage, lines that years later still average 2 hours and maxed out at 3 or so when new.

The line to get into Pixar parking from the south was backed up all the way to Downtown Disney at 6:50 am. I got logged into the park at 7:45 am then walked to the west end of Downtown to get a better signal. At 7:55 am there were people running to get to the gate in time. I tried tell they were too late, but they kept running. Now that I have ridden Rise, I probably won’t try again to avoid that circus and allow people who have never been on it a better chance to try it out.

[@michaelthomas4693]

Watched this and felt more than a little anxiety, as others have expressed below. If your phone is a bit slow, then you are penalized? Not cool. They should follow Comic Con's lead. Comic Con had something like this, then changed it to a lottery. Everyone who logs in before 8 am is in the lottery, then the lottery just determines who gets tickets. No race. No pressure. Just random chance.

[@samcha9448]

This is the chaos that Disney was expecting for the opening of Galaxy’s Edge. It would probably be even worse if they allowed a standby line at this time. I could only imagine how far that line would stretch.

They should restrict AP’s from being able to get boarding passes for a couple of weeks imo. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@2000calleen]

Oscar Avila I would have to disagree. We have AP’s but live in Utah and haven’t been able to get there yet...but are going in a few weeks and want the chance to get. Boarding pass. Not all AP holders live close enough to get there more than a few times a year.

[@vusa7]

Calleen Spencer I’m meaning more so if the ones that go daily. I understand most of the you tubers that live in Cali need content but on the other hand they’re able to visit every other day if not daily and I’m assuming they try to get boarding passes. So for them to get a boarding group while ppl that go for vacation or whatever don’t get one kinda shitty

[@catalyst6313]

@crystalrworks disagree. Stand by lines have always worked and naturally max out at 3 hours in general. Hagrids I guess would be the exception but that was a disaster as far as breaking down. Racers and Indy break down all the time too but traditional lines work. This lotto system is not good unless you are a local with an AP.

Almost reminds me of Radiator Springs. Took me over a year to finally get on that ride, with a fast pass. Well, good thing Dole Whip saved the day, sort of. Bright Suns!

I was there Friday-Sunday and everyday it was WILD!!!! Got to the esplanade at 7:10 everyday and BARLEY made it in the gate on sunday (7:59 lmao), somehow I lucked out with really good boarding passes every single time--18, 24 and 17-- your tips from the q&a worked great!!

[@2000calleen]

Sammy Cheeseburger what has been your strategy to get the boarding passes?

[@sammycheeseburger]

@@2000calleen I'd say get to the esplanade by 7 (sunday was hard for everyone to get in the park because they didn't open the gates til almost 7:45?? It was rediculous), once you're in the park find a spot where you have the best service-- don't recommend using wifi!! Make sure the people you want in your boarding group are the ONLY people linked to your app (delete extra people! It saves time) Then a few minutes before 8 TOTALLY hard close the Disneyland app and reopen it... most importantly, when you are on the home page of the disneyland app do not hit the "find out more" on the rise of the resistance module until 8:00 on the dot!!!! I watched the second hand on my watch and immediately opened the module and hit join a boarding group and got a really low group everytime... best of luck to you and everyone trying to get one!! It's so stressful 😩😭

[@Cutelatinguy2]

@ 7:35, now everyone who didn't get a Boarding Pass goes home! LOL

[@magicaladventuresyt]

Loving the crowd reaction haha. I would like to experience this in person!!

I hope the first week of may isn't this nuts! But o well if it is. This video makes me smile.

[@joseprendes3056]

It’s not even summer, and look at those crowds! Don’t these people have jobs or school? Lol

[@FreshBakedDisney]

Its Saturday

[@joseprendes3056]

FreshBaked! Oh.... 🤣

[@ainsleyperry5192]

FreshBaked, David and a very late Ron, Who new it was Daylight at 8 a.m.? The energy and excitment as everyone gets their boarding passes is amazing. The saddest thing is watching all the people still using their phones to get a b/pass but nothing's happening. The look on their faces, it's like watching a slow motion car wreck. At the weekend people were starting to arrive between 3.30 &4.00 a.m. at the esplinade.Cheers, Chris Perry.

[@TerryT1976]

This video makes me want to attempt to visit Disneyland extremely early to try to get a boarding pass! I love how everyone was celebrating upon getting a pass and congratulating those who got one!

[@insaneone4369]

You have the fomo addiction. Seek help.

[@TerryT1976]

Insane One Who asked you for your two cents?

[@heatherleiferman1872]

This made my morning. You guys are the best. It put the biggest smile on my face 😁😁😁

Rise of the nervous stomachs

[@funtimeswithfefe242]

That ending was fantastic. Thank you! Great driver!

[@zyenpoald21]

David, we went yesterday, my wife, son and I got group 57, everything was going great, my son and I were able to get in the queue at 11:50, the ride is amazing, we had a rider switch but unfortunately the ride went down and the wife and son had to wait two hours before the ride reopened .. and just before entering the holding cell the ride went down again...she was unable to ride yesterday as we had to go home.

[@dapper-Dan]

It’s frustrating that Disney has already started understaffing parking and security after last week. It’s going to make guests feel like they have to arrive at 6am, the very thing the 8am boarding group drop was meant to discourage.

[@insaneone4369]

They want your time. They want to make you suffer. The more time of yours they have and the more you suffer the more they see you as profit. The more people are waiting around. The more unhappy they become the likelihood of them spending money is higher.

[@altosax18]

Disney is very good at making lines worse. The parking structure is terrible because of how Disney runs it. Multiple booths merging into one lane and then only loading one or two levels at a time. The Pixar side is even worse, 6 lanes merging into one after the booth.

[@cv9624]

Just watching people celebrate is worth watching.

[@Fadoodle92]

We went on Sunday and we didn’t make it in on time... 😭 we were walking up to Disneyland when it hits 8 and all I hear was just cheering. I am going back on Saturday and now I know to get there even earlier. Asides from the ride I’m building my droid!! So I’m excited for that.

[@cyndigeissinger7734]

This was awesome! Like when your favorite team wins the Super Bowl!

[@andierob]

Watching this gives me more anxiety about getting this boarding group next weekend. It’s so hit and miss. I’m ok with getting there by 7/715 because we do that anyway but seeing all these people there that wouldn’t normally be there and the crowds so quickly it’s a mess. We have Flex Pass annual passes and go every 2-3 months. So my next chance won’t be til dapper day in April. 😩😳 just hoping I’ll be one of the lucky ones.

[@jtmaddux18]

i cried a little when everyone got their boarding pass and cheered ;-)

[@siristhekiller7174]

I’m an AP myself and tried to go on Sunday for the first time. Unfortunately, crowd control sucked that day and I got scanned in at 8:02, and it was probably the worst day in the ride’s operation so I didn’t get to go on it. With that being said, I just want to see it once and ride it again later when the hype dies down. I think they should do away with the boarding passes in the very near future and just implement the standby because it’s a really frustrating system that puts people who don’t visit often at a disadvantage

[@richardperhai8292]

Standy would be a nightmare right now with its reliability. Imagine standing in line 8 hours and getting dumped. Worse, since the queue hold 8,000-10,000 people imagine all those people being dumped at once. And imagine opening... everyone running like madmen to get to the ride. Crashing at the entrance. And still not getting to ride. Right now BG is the only sane way to manage it... basically its a FastPass without a reserved time. Not everyone can get a FastPass. Not everyone can get a BG. No difference really.

[@An-dj1gp]

We are visiting CA in a few months and I’m hoping it won’t be this crazy. I don’t even care to ride Rise of the Resistance; I just don’t want to wait in a 2 mile long bag check line with a toddler 😟

[@kellibertelsman1191]

This was great. Such fun energy.

[@michealfeeney8920]

@ 08:58 ... actually getting a really great kick out of seeing you and your fellow vloggers congratulating everyone and encouraging everyone who did get a boarding group for that day. Also really glad to see you, as a vlogger and AP holder choosing not to, am I correct in assuming that was because mr Park Commando Ron had not yet made it onto the ride yet?

[@michealfeeney8920]

@ 14:11 hey, isn't that Peter from Ordinary Adventures? Think I found them from the you tube recommendations after starting to follow you...

[@brendamanu-tuinei4902]

It’s like a meet n great w you guys! Awesome!!!

[@TheAztec010]

It’s really easier than it seems. Get up early get to the park and be in by 8:00. Been there 3 times and have gotten a pass every time. All on the weekend if anyone is wondering.

[@ricknineg]

Knew this was going to go nuclear. New concept is needed.

[@bunktuzzi44]

awe man we just missed you guys! :) we went to DCA that morning before we headed home :)

[@ArtisticVic]

I was there on Thursday and it wasn’t as crowded. Got to ride everything at the park including rise of the resistance and still had time to spare.

[@danielramsey1959]

I bet Disney was thinking why not just charge extra for this one ride.....

[@hld67]

You guys are hilarious!
