Okay this just showed up via the Theme Park Express again. Sounds like the only way in right now is via that line. Good luck to everyone. This sounds like its going to be a mess when the buses start running and they let cars in.

I’m in line under the bridge right now. Left my room at Boardwalk at 2am once I figured I couldn’t fall back asleep. Steady stream of people coming from Boardwalk. Very organized, for now.

so, still no cars into DHS?

Nope. I would not want to be security this morning. Line at Boardwalk is now topping a thousand:

There’s going to be some really angry motorists and people who opt for the other buses later if they hold true to only letting people in the Boardwalk line in first. Though to be honest I’m wondering how well they can enforce that.

Well, getting the other half awake and ready to go... and we will be driving over from off property.

We are on our way now. Any news on parking?

It looks like they’re officially letting people line up with the cars now. But I would still head for the Boardwalk line. Probably would be shorter in the long run since you won’t be sitting in traffic waiting to park the car. Either way good luck:

@BaymaxFan78

That’s the latest I’ve seen. Nothing on Instagram on the line. I checked

Yes, and if we are in line at the Boardwalk bridge and the buses of people are pulling up where are they going to put all the peeps? If we’re at the end of the Boardwalk line are they going to make the buses of people wait to get in or are we going to be at the back of the mob of people? People in the Boardwalk line aren’t necessarily resort guests but the bus and boat lines.....

Yeah I know I’m just sharing what I’ve seen. I’ve got no stake in this fight. I’m comfortably at home in CO.

One way or another there’s going to be some angry people. And I feel so bad for the CMs this morning.

Though i think at this point with over a thousand people in the line they might not have a choice but to honour starting to allowing that line in first and just merging the other guests in as they go. Which is what I think is most likely going to happen because the longer the line gets the harder it is going to be to send people all the way back.

Apparently still turning people around at the parking gates if anyone is wondering:

Parking lot is now open.

 

[StarGirl11]

I’m going off to do some reading but yeah they are apparently going to do their darnest to keep it to the pedestrian line first.

They could have made this easier on everyone including their own staff ahead of what are going to be arguments and angry people if they had just properly announced this ahead of time....Because right now it feels like they just rolled with whatever the heck happened.

Nevermind. There was a backup onto victory way and they let us up to the parking toll and now everybody is stopped

Had they announced they were going to allow people to line up in that area and they'd be first in, it would've been a disaster. Someone is going to be mad this morning no matter what they do. Those who said WDW is not DLR knew what they were talking about. lol

I'm weirdly both relieved and jealous not to be there.

 

[Runnsally]

Just got in the boardwalk line. There is cheering.

 

[Jorjabelle]

Potentially,

Bus people are going to the back of the Boardwalk line

Line is moving

 

[osufeth24]

Reading about this cluster has me worried about the process of getting into the land for a reservation

 

[Runnsally]

There is a shocking # of people here

 

[Jorjabelle]

Eeh

I think procedures will smooth out over the coming days. But wow, there are a bunch of vloggers in that line!

Vloggers are going through security checkpoints now.

Awe, these Star Wars Nerds are my peeps!

Best to all in line!

True I guess. But I’ve been to mega cons (San Diego Comic Con’s Hall H line for Saturday is a similar scenario to this, and yes that is a line in the thousands that starts up to 2 days before) before, there is a way to regulate stuff like this. Would it have been perfect, no, but they could have made the scenario better.

I would say they probably announced ahead of time for Celebration lines but I have no clue how Celebration went since I never attended.

Point is they could have regulated the lines if they had stopped to actually do it. And I think regulating it would have been the better one then going with what feels like ‘whatever starts first’
