Epcot on EMH Morning crowds?

[DavidNYC]

I almost always avoid EMH parks but due to ADRs made in advance and the change to which parks have EMH next week I'll find myself in Epcot the day they have EMH morning. How are lines during the first hour or so after regular park opening?

And how does admission work if you're not EHM. If you get there 30 minutes before park opening can you still go through the turnstyles early and just not ride or do they not even start letting people in before 9 (which would suck since on a normal day they'll start scanning early and hold you at the rope drop part).

By the time 9AM rolls around, there will be many hundreds (if not thousands) of guests already in FW, with many of them in the attraction lines (mostly at Soarin' -when it's open, Test Track, Mission Space, and Spaceship Earth.)

You are held outside until 9AM.
