In case you didn't know, Pandora typically opens 30 minutes before the rest of AK, even during EMH. So on a 8am EMH day, Pandora will open at 7:30am! So I would be there at least 45 minutes before that if you want to rope drop FoP! We also just rope dropped SDD on an EMH morning 2 weeks ago and we arrived an hour early. We still ended up waiting about 15 minutes in line once we were released and masses of people ran ahead of us!
