DaveInTN 3,247 Posted August 10, 2013 Report Share Posted August 10, 2013 I don't even understand this. So what's changing? They open 15 minutes earlier than posted time? So won't everybody just show up 15 minutes earlier? And no rope drop, so basically the park will open 15 minutes before posted opening time and there will be a mad dash to EE...15 minutes early? Whatever. More importantly, will they still have bag check? I don't want to cause alarm when I sneak my big jug of Roundup in. 15 minutes early. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The difference is they're going to open 15 minutes early, but they aren't going to hold you at the tree anymore (like they usually do). So, you can just go wherever you want, like at Epcot that also opens early every day. But if you are a newbie that never reads stuff, you'd never know. It's just like most people don't know that DHS opens 20-40 minutes earlier than advertised most days. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They may eat you before you catch them. Nicki aka Rebelstand 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
