IG at Rope Drop nowadays

[monorailmom]

I am almost afraid to ask, but here goes: I realize no one knows what the status of the "walls" will be in a few weeks, but at least for right now: are most people who arrive at least 45mins prior to park opening making it past the turnstiles? Are they still holding everyone just before the bridge? I keep reading very disheartening reviews on what park entry/exit is like through the IG lately. (heartbreaking!!)

Has it changed much with the skyliner?
Is there still an advantage for people staying at the boardwalk resort hotels?

Have either of you checked the TPA&S forum? This sounds not like a park issue than a resort one.

I have been looking on both forums, but chose this one since it's primarily an IG Resort question, not really a Park issue.

We are staying at the BC now and have been through the international Gateway many times, but not at rope drop. It is very crowded when the park closes but during the day there are plenty of bag check locations and entry points so that it doesn't take long to get into Epcot. But I am sure that it is crowded at rope drop. A lot of resort guests are using the Skyliner, including us.
