DHS Guests are reporting as of today, they only have a 1-hour return window once their BGs are called.

*Now confirmed it may be a 1-hour or 2-hour return but it’s currently a 1-hour return.

I asked and no one knows if the window return time will also be in effect at DL.

Gates do not appear be open yet as we are not moving at all. 7.27 am

We are here in line. It’s 7:25. They haven’t opened the gates yet. Lines are past DCA. I don’t think we are going to scan in by 8. It’ll be tight. We arrived at 7:15. I have two small kids and my elderly parents. It was a struggle just getting them here this early. If we aren’t successful we will try again tomorrow. Fortunately we are local and can come back anytime.

Yep. We're 20 ft away from dca at 710a. BG will go in 30sec I bet

Looks like Gates just opened at 7:31

 

[Aurora0427]

I am pretty mad. I have stayed positive throughout this process because it’s not that big of a deal in this grande scheme of life, but the fact that it is 7:32 on a weekend and they still haven’t opened the gates really makes mad. People are literally lined up in DCA. It is an avoidable mess if they’d just opened up the gates earlier like they have been.

It’s 7:34 and they just opened.

Yes I am a little nervous as all lines have u turned I can’t see how far back up. I am concerned crowd reaction should everyone not get scanned in to try. So many people...also concerned for possible line jumping attempts.

Oh there’s lots of line jumping. People are cutting in front of everyone. It’s not clear where the lines are. I’m frustrated because it’s so hard with small kids to get here earlier than 7! Ha!!!! I’m letting this go today and we are going to have fun doing other things and try again another day!

Good job keeping a good attitude! I hope you have a great day anyway.

This sort of situation is, I think, what a lot of us were concerned about in the early pages of this thread. DL doesn’t usually open that early, and then the lines can be so inequitable and slow...

I hope things stay calm and everyone has a nice day at the parks!

 

[CastAStone]

They have done a good job of clearing insane entry lines the last 10 days; don’t give up yet...

Just got in. Took 15 minutes from just about the entrance to DCA

 

[ironband74]

I saw on twitter that they are also using the side gates for entrance this morning?

They really need to be opening gates more than 30 minutes ahead. That was fine in the days before this BG system was implemented but it doesn't fly anymore. That is just ridiculous and I'm glad we didn't try to go today because we wouldn't have made it in!

I was similarly annoyed at the security lines last weekend. They had only a few lines open and the backups were massive! This was at the Downtown Disney checkpoint, so we went around to the hotel side and same thing, although those lines were shorter. Once through people were SPRINTING through Downtown Disney. It was so crazy.

Disney needs to staff up the security checkpoints FULLY on weekend mornings until they stop with the BG system.

They use those every weekend.

 

[CastAStone]

Curious if anyone can report on current lines to get in?

 

[dina444444]

on to backups already

BG12!

 

[Skyegirl1999]

I got a red button and no back-up warning just as my phone hit 8:01 from home. Opened the app on a whim to check at some point after it was already 8:00.

(I’m recovering from surgery, so no parks for me this weekend.)

We got in the parks and got group 21. I can’t beliebe it. I might be crying. Ha!!!! The Force was definitely with us today!!!! I’m wearing my new Star Wars jacket and I am
Pumped!
