That's my biggest disappointment in the hours update, too! I'm wondering if Disney will routinely open HS (or at least TSL and GE) before the posted opening they way they do with Pandora. Unfortunately, our HS day is 11/5, so I don't know if anyone will have a chance to report back about how things were handled on 11/3 or 11/4 before we go.
That's a good point. My understanding is that HS is very strict about when they have historically let people in, but your Pandora example gives me hope! At least my date is far into November so I'll definitely know by then if that is happening. Thanks!
