In early August I drove to AK for a quick 9am rope drop visit to Pandora. I arrived at the parking booths at 7:20am, AP and ID at the ready, and found no one there. I just drove on through, followed the signs towards parking and found two CM's directing the parking. I was about the 16th car in the lot. I was waiting for the "no bag" Security line to open by 7:30am.
