Today there has been a glitch with the My Disney Experience App that has a lot of people upset.
Currently, if you want to ride the new Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance attraction, you need to have your entire party scanned in and be inside Disney’s Hollywood Studios by the opening of the park to attempt to get a Boarding Pass.
Today, people could get passes even if they weren’t in the park and some got boarding passes from hundreds or thousands of miles away!

CORRECT. Note the Central time on my phone screenshot. This is a common deal, people practicing at home, but it always stops you at the end since, you know, you aren’t there! Not today… go complain ASAP. I did remove our party right after, FWIW. pic.twitter.com/YA8mlhW0Cd

Was curious about this Rise of the Resistance app method & tried it from home. Um, it worked great and fast — too great actually! I should NOT be able to do this from 1800 miles away! (and yes, I removed us from the group right afterward) #RiseOfTheResistance pic.twitter.com/dkWg74nxRn

WOW! They were gone that fast! The park opened at 8 AM
@WDWGuestService is there an issue with the rise of the resistance boarding… all passes were gone at 8:00 plus 2 seconds

Here’s what I don’t understand. If they were gone that quickly, how would people know to try and do this from hours away and have the passes gone in 2 seconds? It isn’t something most people would sit at home and try to do? So was it 2 seconds?
so looks like people were able to join boarding groups for Rise of the Resistance from home / not in the park this morning. Best of luck to the GET CMs having to deal with this (including all the people actually in the park who didn’t get a BG due to this)! #WDW #ROTR

Yeah I would NOT want to be those Cast Members today. May the Force be with you!
People line up an hour or more before the park opens, to get in and wait for the chance to get a boarding pass. This has been going on for weeks.
Didn’t get Rise of the Resistance. There were thousands of people here more than hour before the park opened.

Here’s a hint. Since the boarding passes are through the app you don’t want to use the park’s wi-fi as everyone else is using it too. Also, everyone runs for either Galaxy’s Edge or Toy Story Land to line up. There are thousands of people around you trying to get a boarding pass too. You are better off hanging back in an uncrowded area to try and get your pass. Of course a lot of people in the crowds get them, but it might just be the bit of edge you need.
I’m sure there are a lot of mad people right now! I don’t blame them. It’s already hard to get a pass to begin with and then you follow the rules and this happens on top of it.
