UberI'm not saying I won't do that, but I'm praying they'll just get up whatever time is needed to get there. Our family pretty much plans to be at whatever park we're going to around an hour prior to rope drop regardless of park and crowds. We're a family of 8 so it takes a while to get through bag check and turnstiles even thought we've got AP's. From what I'm seeing, that plan is pretty much what most are doing anyway.
I'm not sure we have any on the ground reports but with the way the line was at 7pm they might have continued to run the ride well past closing. That said, even if they ran the ride an additional hour, you are right, that's still a very solid throughput!At about 6 hours of operation time and 94 BG's called, it looks the ride was eating people like crazy when it was actually running.
If I was at the tail end of the BGs called I'd do exactly what you said. Wait until the end. I'm sure everybody is rushing to join the line once their BG is called so the line was probably much more manageable at 7:55pm vs. the twitter photo we saw at 6:45pm.I know people get in line for FOP right at closing. So if your Bg is called at 6pm (like tonight when they are packing the line) could you/should you get in line at 7:55pm?
Other than running the risk the ride could go down again. Or sheer exhaustion from waiting around all day
Just grabbed SDD for next week! Thanks for heads up.Everyone needs to double check new fastpass openings for the time changes.
The first week in Feb (except for 2/1 & 2/2) is still 9am. Sigh! Who knows at this point?
Sayhello
thank you for all of the Office references!When I saw that regular BGs lasted just a minute this morning...
Luckily, those MLK crowds will soon be leaving!
For those wondering how I write-up my touring plan for the parks:

Thank you all for the support and likes for "The Chart".
It's a pleasure to have the opportunity to compile this data for the group!
For those of you that know me...you know I'm quite proud of my "reaction score:messages" ratio.
I truly appreciate all the reactions!!
Nope, we are too!I think I must be the only person on the planet that hopes it stays 9:00 AM. We are getting off a cruise on Saturday Feb 8 and was hoping that if we can get in the park by 9:30 I might have a fighting chance at a backup BG. If it opens at 7:00 we have no shot.
We're hoping for nothing earlier than 8am opening. My family won't get up early enough to get a BG otherwise.You're not. We're going 2/5 and it's scheduled for 9am as of now. My family is always good to go early, but we're going with another large family and I don't know how they'll be. We're all staying in my rental house in Orlando together so I can't just leave them if they're not ready. Opening at 9am and us planning to be at the gate by 8am is far more doable than an hour earlier, especially since we're all accustomed to central time.
We stayed at POR last week and took the park bus to DHS on two separate days. The bus time showed up in the MDE app so we were able to plan when to leave the room. We took the bus that came at 5:54 one day and saw an arrival time of approx 5:40 am another day. I watched the app for other bus times and saw that a bus for DHS came approximately every 15 minutes in the early morning.
You might want to give yourselves at least an hour and fifteen minutes to get to the park via the buses.
I will literally eat my hat if they don't bump up opening until 7 (or at the very least 8) for that week!
I hope you're right. I'm really counting on competing with mostly the people in the know, not everyone going for the day!I will literally eat my hat if they don't bump up opening until 7 (or at the very least 8) for that week!

Omg, that means I had the lowest? I feel I need some sort of award for this achievement!Wow, so group 15 was the lowest BG of the day??!! That seems a lot higher than usual.
Congrats!!!!!Omg, that means I had the lowest? I feel I need some sort of award for this achievement!
