Replied to my own post in the other thread to the question above. The PPH DCA entrance that dumps you out at Corn Dog Castle was open for EE this past weekend (need room key to open this gate; it is separate gate than the pedestrian gate to enter the GCH grounds to go to their DTD security line and enter DL for EE (CM at PPH at check in told me this is how we should EE for DL; our key also opened that gate)). Line was minimal at 7am Sunday when we got there, but they didn’t open bag check and detectors until about 7:27am (at which point the line was all the way down the sidewalk). We were through very quickly and walking into DCA right at 7:30am but others in the line definitely missed some of EE due to lining up later than 7am and the (what I considered) late opening of bag check.
