Dang! I just checked instagram and some Disney bloggers have already shared pictures - it looks insanely crowded.

EDIT/UPDATE: They're already walking in! And it's 5:02 AM!

EDIT/UPDATE: Wait time already at 150 at 5:09am

I wonder if 6am listed opening will actually continue to be 5am opening?

ResortTv1 got let into the park just after 4:00am. Been watching their live stream.

Was watching ResortTV1 also. Posted some screen shots the opening day thread.

I’m excited to go early morning and at night - it’s so pretty with all the lights.

I’d be interested to see a vlogger do opening in a couple weeks, just to maybe get a feel for what it will be like in October.

Glad to have reservations

Also, TSL, RnRC and ToT don’t look too bad right now at 7 am.

Seems like an extremely good time to go to the other parks! How's Epcot, especially since today's the first day of F&W?

Epcot is supposed to open at 8. Not sure if they opened early or not yet though.

 

[ShayBells]

I’m guessing times are super low since everyone is at HS for opening but I’m hoping they stay this low during the early morning! Looking forward to my trip in a couple weeks!

I'm with you! Hoping they stay low. Getting nervous though that there will be an increase in crowds from people rescheduling from Dorian. I feel like that's what happened to my last trip. We rescheduled early September to late because of Irma..predicted crowd levels were 2 and 3. Actual ended up at 6 and 7.

No posted waits yet. I imagine Epcot will be quiet (not this quiet) until shortly before F&W opens at 11

For posterity:

8:15, 15 minutes after the start of regular EMH at Epcot on the first EEMH day:
Test Track is down
FEA is posted as 0 minutes (!)
Soarin is 10
Everything else open is 5.

Food & Wine doesn’t open til 11.

Edit, 8:27: TT came up and is now posted at 30. These waits aren’t that unusually low for offseason EMH at Epcot.

It will be interesting to see if the posted wait times are accurate or if they're trying to lure people away from HS....also if these types of waits will hold true for more than just opening day of SWGE. If so, EMH's are going to be wonderful!!!

 

[nerdyone]

The wait times are 5 minutes right now for the other parks. Insanely low

 

[DGsAtBLT]

I think today, and probably the next few days, are not going to be indicative of what EEMH looks like for the couple months they’re running them. I’ll be really surprised if things don’t even out a bit. Wait times and FP+ availability have also looked to be really, really good the last few days to begin with.

But SWGE would turn into my favourite thing ever at WDW if it really did pull crowds away from everything else permanently.

I agree. It'll be interesting to see what happens once we get past this weekend and into September.

 

[nerdyone]

If this keeps up I'm going to move up my trip.

Does anyone think there is a chance Disney could cancel the EEMH? I know they have advertised the hell out of it so I certainly hope they wouldn’t. But seeing all of these low times makes me just a bit concerned.
