Here's how I
speculate things going, based partly upon experience with EMH and on what many people seem to be talking about doing themselves:
6am >> Crowds beginning slightly heavier than normal for an early morning rope drop due to the hype placed on the event...steadily increasing until
10am as more morning people enter the park. Headline attraction wait times rapidly increase to
30 minutes and continue to slowly increase to
60 minutes as
10am approaches.
10am >> Crowds leveling off through
1pm due to morning people leaving and sleep-in people coming in. Headline attraction wait times steadily increasing to
75 minutes.
1pm >> No significant change in crowds until
5pm. Headline attraction wait times remain around
60-75 minutes.
5pm >> Crowds begin increasing again due to ADRs at the park and Wishes at 8pm. Sleep-In crowd never left. Some morning people have taken naps and returned for evening entertainment. Headline attraction wait times steady around
75 minutes until
10pm.
10pm >> Crowds begin slow decline. Families with small children who have been there most of the day now start to leave. Sleep-in people start to tire. Morning people who took naps still going strong. Headline wait times decrease to
45 minutes until
1am.
1am >> Crowds begin sharper decline. Sleep-In crowds now leaving in larger numbers. Morning people who napped, still going strong, and perhaps more just entering. Families with small children become scarce. Headline wait times decrease to
10 minutes as
3am approaches.
3am >> Crowds at lowest levels. Only people remaining are those who just came in, perhaps for the first time in the 24 hours, because they can. Even Morning people who napped are tapering off. A handful of 24-hour rogue park goers continue to roam the park, becoming more as zombies in appearance and behavior with each passing minute, but ultimately pose no threat. Security unlocks shotgun vault just in case
. Headline attraction wait times vary from
10 minutes to non-existent through
6am.
Again this is all speculative.
