New Disney Theme Park reservation system

So do any of y’all think the reservation system could open early?
Most everyones TA sent out info saying 7am EST. But I didn't see it published anywhere on Disney's site so we are going to check at 6am because they do dining at 6am and fast passes at 7am. Honestly it will probably be 7am. Obviously it wasn't midnight (or 1am haha).
 
Personally, I think there will be more room than people think. Just looking at the numbers
ParkCapacity30% capacity# of 4 person groups at 30% Capacity# of ppl on average day
Magic Kingdom90,00027,0006,75057,000
Epcot110,00033,0008,25034,000
Hollywood Studios60,00018,0004,50031,000
Animal Kingdom60,00018,0004,50038,000

So that means there are normally on an average day 160,000 ppl in all the parks combined (mind you those numbers may include people who are park hopping) and with 30% capacity they can have 96,000 people in all the parks combined. That means its only 40% less than on an average day. Mind you, this doesn't account for high volume vs low volume times but still, right now I am guessing even if they opened it up to everyone who wanted to go, you would see a smaller volume than the average. So I think that people with tickets and hotels will probably all get their park options, and most people booking in the next several days will still be able to get into at least one park on most days they are there. Again, I am just looking at numbers and guessing, but hopefully this helps some people out.

I pulled these numbers off the internet in case anyone is curious.
Curious where you got those numbers?
I always thought Disney didn’t release attendance figures.
 
I thought they were opening at 20% like Shanghai did from what I read
The source I read said 20-30% and knowing disney, they want to make money so it will be 30%. But I am just speculating like everyone else.

And Shanghai opened at 30% capacity
 
Curious where you got those numbers?
I always thought Disney didn’t release attendance figures.
Like I said, just searched the internet so they may not be perfect but they seem about right. My dad was a cast member at Disneyland for 15years and he would always tell us when Disneyland or disney world was at capacity because they would announce it. It happened, but not as much as you would think. So I think 60-70% capacity seems like the normal average. Those numbers may also not reflect the new rides a Hollywood studios.
 

What’s everyone’s honest opinion on how fast the parks reservations will been gone the first week? We will be there and am so nervous I won’t get a reservation for any of my days. 😞

I'll just be happy if they're not gone in the first minute like ROTR boarding groups were!
 
Can we do the reservation on the app?
I read we have to do the initial reservation on a web browser (computer, tablet, or phone, as long as it is web browser). Then modifications can be made on the app. But who knows for sure since it hasn't launched.
 
I don’t know whether to wait like the castle tells me or to refresh to try to sign in.
