Everything Early Theme Park Entry (ETPE) - Please Read Post 1

Does Tron open with EE for resort guests? Are people just flocking to Tron once let in? How fast are wait times escalating? Is it like seven dwarf, where the pack heads right to it? I'm trying to decide if we need to head there first?

No, Tron does not open until park opening but guests start to line up as soon as ETPE begins. It seems like the line grows quickly. If you are at the front of the line and if you wish to line up for 30 mins, you will likely ride soon after park open. Guests are also finding an influx of guests at the start of the day and then lines decrease.

It differs from park to park but just follow the crowd.

MK, AK and EP (I believe) currently allow all guests to enter the park. Non ETPE guests are directed one way and ETPE guests are directed a different way. The is an actual rope and CMs stopping guests from progressing past where they should. When ETPE begins guests will have their band scanned (one person for the group) and be allowed to proceed into the open area of the park.

The division happens before the rope drop area so there should be no need to pass anyone once ETPE begins.

DHS holds non-ETPE eligible guests at a set of tapstiles, before entering the park.

If we dont have bands do they just scan our resort cards?

I am not sure if this is a good strategy but we are doing ETPE and LLMP. With 2 young children, we are focusing on Fantasyland. In the ETPE, we thought to do Winnie the Pooh, Dumbo, Barnstormer, Carousel then do Peter Pan with the LLMP as our Tier 1 sometime in the early morning. Around the park open we would then do some character meet and greets. Does this plan sound too ambitious?
