Wondering what time guests have been getting let into each park. We have been seeing reports that guests are being let into HS early, around 6:10-6:15am each day, and held until 6:30 when they are told TSL is open (for the 7am EMH going on right now).
DH is primarily interested in knowing what time CMs have been letting guests into Animal Kingdom, but we would like to know about the other parks as well. If anyone has done rope drop lately and can give us some help, it'd be appreciated! Trying to nail down our plans with what time we should get to each park for rope drop.
 
At every park guests are let into the park early then held at a waiting area until closer to park opening time. Times vary depending on that day. If you want to be near the front of the crowd then I'd plan to be at the gate 45-60 min prior to park opening.

I'd say even earlier than that at DAK and DHS with their recent super-busy/popular new additions.
 
2 weeks ago we were being let into AK at 8:15 and held at Pandora until about 8:40 (reg 9am opening). If you wanted to ride FOP first you’ll need to be there before 8.

At Epcot we were let in about 8:30 and held at SSE until just before 9. We arrived at 8:10 and were among the very first to ride Soarin.

We didn’t rope drop any other parks.
 

We got to HS about 6:30 for a 7:00 opening and walked right through expecting to be stopped at some point on the way to TSL. We weren't stopped at all and the ride already had about a 15 minute wait.
