Gates just opened to start letting people in

 

[Miffy]

Good luck, everyone! From someone who experienced RotR twice in December--getting up the first day at 3:30 to get to DHS by 5--let me just say that this is all worth it. MTFBWY!

Letting us in now!!!!!!

 

[SOCALMouseMommy]

This is so exciting! Loving all the live reports!

 

[Skyegirl1999]

We made it to the line for the opening countdown. We’re in two different lines and she’s kicking my butt getting towards the front.

 

[disneylover102]

They let us in and I got an IJ Fastpass and I can get another one before the park even opens. Gotta love Maxpass!!!

They are holding everybody at the front of Main Street.

 

[socaldisneylover]

Thanks for all the updates. Will be at security in less than an hour. Hope the lines have dwindled by then.

 

[dieumeye]

Everyone is filing into Main Street. CMs are calling out that you can’t go farther than Main Street and that BGs don’t open until 8am.

They are holding at the end of Main Street. Not even letting people into the hub. Everyone is packing in although I guess there’s no need to be anywhere in particular once in the park.

And yes, MaxPass is live!

 

[Gaugersaurus]

Took about 10 mins to get scanned in from the under the monorail. The line I was in stalled for a few minutes due to an issue with someone ahead of us so other lines may move quicker.

currently in Main Street cinema which is full with people looking for a place to sit

So several cases, if someone dares to try:
1) After scanning in, go back to the hotel and try to join at 8:00...
2) Enter DCA instead of Disneyland and try to join at 8:00...
3) Join both on app and physically on the fastpass koisk

I just love that your daughter is down for this!

 

[Mathmagicland]

Was just told we’ll probably be let into the parks before 7 so they can reduce the line in time to open DCA for EMH

Have to wonder how many peeps will be going to DCA vs entering Disneyland for a boarding group,

does anyone know at this point, can someone with a park hopper or AP & scanned into DCA join a BG while in DCA or must the ticket be scanned into DLR?

You have to have scanned into Disneyland to enter a boarding group.

People at WDW DHS have reported success with #1 at hotels close to DHS, even though CMs there have said it would not be possible to do so,

Gates opened at 6am and everyone is waiting on Main Street...BG won't open till 8am....

being able to get a FP via MaxPass when in that early is definitely a nice extra perk of going early for a BG!

1) I don’t know. I wouldn’t risk it.
2) You can only get a BG at Disneyland.
3) At 8:00 I’m going to try getting a BG on my phone while rushing to Splash Mountain just in case.

Starbucks

 

[Skyegirl1999]

We’re across the street from Carnation Cafe, kiddo is sitting on the curb. Briefly considered trying for Starbucks, but that’s INSANITY, so... no.

Yes! I’ll have an Indiana Jones and Thunder FP before the park even opens!
