@HockeyMickey2024 is there today and texted me throughout his experience this morning. He and his brother walked over to DHS from BC this morning and arrived at security around 6:00am. He said they moved quickly through security and were in line at 6:10am with this view:
He said people continued to file in rapidly behind them. Several groups of people near the front were waving their phones trying to signal other, later-arriving members of their party to join them, but it was packed and didn't seem like other people in line were cooperative with them. At 6:23, this was the crowd behind him in line:
At 6:30am, he said that some people in line were starting to sit on the ground, which CMs were discouraging. At 6:32, a line of "Disney cops" (as he called them) came through and had people get up off of the ground, at which point the line started moving toward the tapstiles. He said it was "very physical" while moving forward (in the sense that people were very close together - he said they weren't pushy), with his biggest takeaway being that "more people need showers."
He managed to end up near the front of the crowd to head to MFSR at RD. Both he and his brother had their phones, and I was on mine here in MD. I ended up getting them BG13 from the comfort of my own home.
Their sister and her boyfriend entered the park a few minutes after 7:00 and ended up in BG46.
At 7:18 we all got the notification that their BG was called, and they were in line for MFSR. They got off the ride at 7:58. This was DH's first time visiting GE and he texted me, "If that's the B-list attraction, I can't wait for RotR!" And conveniently, he didn't have to - they headed right over, got in line, and got out at 8:53. His spoiler-free review: "It was AMAZING. Everything you've read is true. It was spectacular." Then he left DHS to visit Riviera, which he's very impressed by. Next stop for him is MK, and tonight he'll be joining me and DD at the airport so that he can lead us through the DHS morning experience tomorrow.

) so I’m worried if we don’t get a morning BG the 2 hour window might get us. I know it seems a bit greedy to do that all in one day but it’s my DD’s 10th birthday and I’m trying to pull off an epic Disney day.
