I attempted HS for on EMH tonight as well. Between the Disney IT outage, SDD shutdown, and rain I just decided to leave. I caught Fantasmic! and headed to my bus. I will just have to attempt TSL at night on another trip.

I will note TSM has also been down an awful lot. It was down all am Thursday and I lost a FP+, and it was down tonight for a majority of the time I was in HS. It came back up before SDD, but I don’t remember it being down as much as I have seen in the last 24 hours.

Right before it went down, as we were getting off, I heard a CM say into the phone “it’s just done it twice in a row.” Can’t help but wonder what “it” was!

So based on what people here have reported, HS seems to be opening around 6:30 am, even though EMH is at 7 am. Is this normal for EMH? Or is it just because of TSL being so new? Also, people say that when it opens, they are escorted to TSL by the CM. Does this mean you cannot go anywhere else? Like to Jedi Training sign up?

Yes and the main reason why guests are lined up so early.

You don’t have to follow the masses to TSL. You can stand on Hollywood Blvd. for 30 minutes and wait for JTA sign-ups to open at 7:00a.

Since they are opening early, what is like at 7-8ish? Does it get crowded pretty early? I want to go to TSL before going to MK but I don’t think I wanna wake up that early to be there at 6. Also how long do you think they’ll continue opening early? We’re planning on going July 23

There’s a Parks Blog event tomorrow from 6-8am. I’ll be interested to see how emh work out tomorrow morning.

When we walked through at 650, the CMs were leading you to TSL. However, on the left right after the first row of stores, a CM was waiving over with a sign for Jedi Training.

I don’t think I would count on it since wait times are no where near Pandora’s, but you never know

I am hoping for September EMH at HS also. 9am-8pm ??? I need more TIME!

For those who've ridden Alien Swirling Saucers, do you think its suitable for an almost 2 year old? My daughter is almost 33 inches tall (minimum height for ride is 32 inches), so she can technically go on the ride. If she does end up going on the ride, she'll be sandwiched between my husband and I. For reference, I have no idea how well she does on amusement park rides in general since this October will be our first time taking her.

I think it’s best for you to gauge how much your child would like it. It’s a classic amusement park whip ride. It’s not intense or anything but gives you that nice whip around. So I would say yes it’s suitable for a 2 year old but depends on the child.

If you and your husband brace yourselves so you two don’t squish her during the slide/whip motion, she’ll probably like the ride.

I am thinking thinking of taking my kiddo over really just to see the land but wondering if anyone can tell me is there still a wait to just get into TSL? Not so much concerned with rides, we have Fast Passes in a few weeks and we are interested in checking it out, eating at Woody's, that sort of thing. For those going without Fast Passes or staying on property how is it getting into TSL?

Just back from WDW so haven’t followed the discussion/commentary on the thread, so this may be out of context.

Managed to get to TSL three times....opening day, 7/4, and PM EMHs last night. The PM EMH visit was unplanned and at the specific request of DS8.

Just caught myself humming the background music of the land. They have the volume up nice and loud - love it.

We’re a family with younger kids (8 and 3) and have historically largely had DHS on the bottom of our priority list. We spent more time in DHS this past week than the last several trips combined. The land is exactly what we needed to make DHS more of a destination again.

Granted I may be a sucker for shiny new things I guess, but we thouroughly enjoyed the land and the rides. Everything was much better than expected from my perspective.

I'm not sure this is the best place for this question...I'm wondering how the lines for TOT & RNRC have been since TSL opened? Lower waits because people are spending time in TSL? Or higher waits because there are more people in the park overall?

Did your 3year old ride SD? If so how did they like it?

Wait times have been normal for summer ranging from 30-75 throughout the day. Few peaks of 90+ but nothing omg crazy

Thank you so much! Adding to the plans this week!

Here's a great blog by Josh about touring at night. I found it informative. I'm hoping they extend the hours for my trip!

I too ask, but more about at RD how are RNRC and TOT? Trying decide a plan of attack for us in August.
We have FPs for all rides (CL xFP) but would like to take advantage of the early entry at EMH.
Also, thinking riding SD at night is now a must, darnit, my FPs are during the day. Guess we hit it right before close.
What is the latest we can jump in line do you think?
