We went last Tuesday, 1-14. Park opening was 7am. We were at SSR. Went to Grandstand bus stop at 5:55am. Bus came shortly after. One scooter on and then everyone that was waiting got on. Next stop, Carousel, another scooter on and everyone that was waiting, 3rd stop everyone fit on except the two waiting scooters (no more room). Our bus drove past the last two stops (Congress Park and Springs) as we were full.
We arrived at park around 6:15 and got in one of the two "no bag" lines which were shorter (tip from Disboards: carry an empty shopping bag in your pocket. If the bag check line is shorter, put all your pocket contents in the shopping bag and get in the "bag" line). Entry point opened around 6:30am and everyone quickly (and surprisingly orderly) started moving. They only had you "tap" in band or badge, no finger scan, so it was quicker. We headed down Sunset Ave. as I had read wifi is better there. Stay to the left if you think you may need help from a Cast Member as they were around the corner to RNRC. They make announcements just before go time so you can get ready. I have a crummier phone than CPNY (LG with TracFone service!). Disney's wifi was giving me trouble that morning, so I switched over to my TracFone wifi and it was actually better! Right at 7am I clicked on "Join a Boarding Group." Our group of two got BG #41.
Around 7:15, I found a Guest Experience CM to ask what timed our group might be called, since we were planning to leave and come back later. The couple in front of us were getting help to get a BG (I think they didn't have a phone) and the CM got them one even at 7:15 so it can be done. CM wouldn't give me a time, so I found a young CM and asked him. He suggested getting back at 10:30-11.
Our BG was called around 11am and we got in line. The line didn't move at all (it was broken down) for about 20 minutes, then moved quickly for about 5 minutes until broke down again. This time we waited about 45 minutes. They offered bottled water and bags of chips and escorted people to restrooms. Once they got it up and running, it was very quick getting on.
If I had not done it before, I absolutely would do it again. Since I'm not a huge SW fan, I wouldn't do this again for a while, but BG's are much better than hours in a stand-by line!
Another tip, if you go to Oga's Cantina, use your phone light to make sure you know what you're ordering (it's dark in there). I accidently ordered a drink that came with the glass and ended up spending around $50 for just 2 drinks! But, it was a lot of fun.
