I read your question slightly differently so I just wanted to add on to @yulilin3 's response. When the PP said they were "backup group #70", that's not to say they were the 70th backup group. They got Boarding Group #70 and backups, today, started at like #64. Hope that helps.
I do have one other Disney fan from my real life willing to try, but she also has an iPhone and will have to update the app. She has a version from before boarding groups started so the buttons aren’t there. So we shall see if she has any better luck than I did with the new app.
Posts 1 and 2 will probably answer all of your questions.
you have 2 hours to return to RotR. Unless the attraction is down you will have enough time to do both. If you get called and feel the other activities will conflict you can try talking to the CM at GET to see if they can move your ADR
How do I make sure the app isn't running in the background (sorry, I'm still in 'internet 101' class)? I'm thinking I just 'close all apps'. is this right? TIA
Thank you!
As explained in post 2. you can try from home at park opening, you will see the button turn red, click on it, pick your party and then when you hit join it will tell you you are not in the park
Doing it from home may not give you an accurate representation. You have personal wifi access there as well as a cell signal that is not interfered with the same way it would be at the parks.
No need to read the whole thread, that's why the title says to read post 1 and 2.
People are saying it’s a problem with the app since it was updated two days ago.
Not necessarily. The app isn't perfect. Just because its working from home doesn't mean you will be perfect in the park. I have the newest iPhone updated to the latest iOS and the app will still glitch from time to time. I don't have problems like some do but still its not perfect.
