Are Epcot and DHS still at 10:30 and 8:30 am, respectively, or did they move to 11 am and 9 am?

MK now 8 am
DAK still early, as it has largely been since Pandora opened.

I was at AK on Sunday, and they let us in the park early but no entering the queues until 8. We were lined up outside africa for the safari and then they walked us to the queue at 8.

So, they took away extra magic hours for resort guests, but since reopening they were opening the parks early for everyone if you were in the know, so that was sort of a benefit that you could take advantage of. But now they’ve taken that away, while not starting the 30 minutes for resort guests. Why should anyone stay on property now?

The more I go to Disney, the more I wonder if anyone is actually running the show.

Will be at DAK tomorrow early. This is disappointing but expected now. Will confirm tomorrow if this is still the case.

At DAK. 8am posted opening. Bus was slow so i don't know when tap in started. Walked right to Pandora where fop was loading by 7:20. Navi not up yet but they told me it'll load whenever ready.

Am I missing something? How did Navi start loading at 7:50am if the security area was not started until 8:00am? Did some people get in before security arrived?

Early Entry is coming, opening the parks earlier this whole time was never meant to be a perk, it was a procedure in place to keep crowds flowing.
