Don't be. It was really pretty easy. We got to the park by 6:30. We were maybe 3 or 4 back at the tapstiles. When we went into the park my Dad's band wouldn't read so we lost some ground and weren't super close to the rope.
After th show We walked briskly but we did not run. There were people running but not us. Let them go. We followed
@yulilin3's instructions. Go all the way to the hat, turn left and then veer left towards Star Tours and the speeder bike. As you come around the final corner you'll see the line ropes on your left. They're not marked at that end but walk right into the line.
The line is fairly open, if some party members are slower, it's ok to split up. My Dad is 76. He fell a bit behind though I took care not to lose him completely. No worries. People dropped off to different locations as we moved, so it was a fairly small group as we arrived. Not like the massive TSMM crowd. I'm not a good judge of numbers, but we were close. Not in the first few but close. Chewie came out at 8:06 and we were done (my parents and I went separately) by 8:19. If we had been able to get closer to the rope, we probably would have been closer, but things happen and there really was no need. We were close enough for our purposes.
The real key wasn't running, it was taking the right path. My Mom looked at the map and said, " it would be more direct if we turned left sooner". But I stuck to the plan. As we were filing into the queue, we saw the people that took the "shortcut" round the corner by the front of the line, then realized their mistake as they had to continue down past all if us in order to enter the ropes.
In short, get there early, try to get by the rope and follow the path. A small slowdown won't kill you because you'll be more efficient than everyone else..Good luck!
Or are you still going to try and make it?
Waitress asked if we would think of taking other serving pieces we liked in a restaurant...rather put us in our place!
