Good luck! Sounds like some of the 1pm BG times are taking a few seconds longerYeah, 7 seconds! Lol. I’m hoping when I go in late February it’s not quite as bad.

I like the 7 am wake up call for DHS, it’s perfect, get your boarding group, eat breakfast get ready and head to the park.
When the park opened at 9 I was there at 8 am and managed to ride tower of terror and slinky dog before 9am, then do whatever until your group gets called. Low key the parks for resort guests open up earlier because of the public transport access, us normal guys don’t get let it in to the parking lot until half and hour before but still worth it.
The park unofficially open just shy of an hour before the posted time. From CBR, Skyliner starts running around an hour before, so I'd line up at the main Skyliner hub (even if Riviera is Closer) 1 hr and ~10-20 min before park open.So non hotel guests are let in up to 30 min before park open for rope drop? What time are hotel guests in?

Also, when trying for your boarding group, I'd recommend going outside and on cellular (I seem to remember the CBR buildings having bad reception, but just test your internet speed 5 min before.)
Yes, the circled station is the hub. All 3 lines dead-end in the hub, so you have to get off there. From the hub to Epcot, the only “station” that the line passes through is Riviera/CBR North, which if your room is closer to it, I advise you use for everything except rope dropping DHS. You can stay on moving through that station. The other station you see is the “turn station” where the doors never open, and you are too high off the ground to even get off.Thank you! These tips are
Would this be the main skyliner hub?

Also, @Magic Feather it looks like to get to Epcot from CBR I have to go through three stations? Can I stay on the gondola or do I need to get off and reboard at every station?

Great tip! Never thought about that but that's a definite must-do when we check in to our room!!

Starting from scratch or not doesn't really seem to be an issue anymore.So as someone who has not been since March what’s the best method currently, obviously no WiFi, good cell coverage but...
Should I open the app ahead of time, or start from scratch?
If I do open the app should I click join directly from the first page or should I have the check status page open and join from there?
it’s a shame this thread doesn’t have an informative first page post like so many others...
