June 2018 park hours

With the 8:00am opening, do the non- fast pass characters start meeting earlier?

Specifically, I need to know what time Merida will start meeting fans. I read that on 9:00am openings, she would start greeting about 9:15 or so.

The plan had been to rope drop Peter Pan and then do straight to meet Merida. Will that still work?
 
Was just able to modify my FP for FOP on 6/7 to a later time that worked better for us. On 6/6, 6/7 and 6/10 there is FOP availability starting at 8:15ish P.M.
Ah thank you for the inspiration. Wasn’t able to get one originally for our trip but thanks to extended hours we found a way :)
 
Saturday June 23 recently changed from 9am-11pm to 8am-Midnight. There are 7DMT fast passes available at the time of this post at 8:10a and 8:25a, same with almost every other ride.

Not sure if any other June dates changed. We had a BOG PPO ADR on 6/23 so kind of bummed but I was able to move my fast passes up so hopefully we're able to take advantage of the longer hours.

Edits: Fixed to say 6/23 instead of 6/22. Sorry!

I read that a few other days around that day changed also.

Website still says 9-12 with 8am EMH for me. I thought you can’t get FP during magic hour? This is during our trip and now I’m worried about our PPO BOG day!

My mistake. Saturday June 23 was what I meant. That was the date of ours that recently changed.

The Friday just went to midnight. The opening is still 9 with an 8am EMH. No FP during EMH. The Saturday went from 9-11 to 8-12. The 24th changed also.
 
Phew!! You had me worried that they are still changing our times!

Haha. Sorry again! And tell me about it. I just checked last week and felt like we were all set and then my wife, who hasn't really been checking the calendar as far as I know, noticed it had changed yesterday morning, less than 10 days away! For a trip that requires planning 180+ days in advance they sure love to keep us on our toes.

Our PPO BOG is this Saturday. If they change the hours on me now I am going to cry LOL
 
I too hope no more changes. By Saturday we will be pretty much done, but I was hoping to arrive around 9, use our FastPasses and ride any item we wanted on a whim. With opening at 8 am it will be more crowded for sure.
