I was there on Wednesday around 6:00, when the sipper cups were in stock. The line took about 45 minutes and when we got inside it was clear that most people were getting just the sippers. There were plenty of tables available. The Gaston side had more than the enchanted objects side. My guess is that when the sipper is in stock, most are getting the cups so the line is longer, but they aren't eating. When the sipper is not in stock, then folks are there to eat, so the tables are probably harder to find.
