The CM also mentioned that they closed when there was no more line, implying you could have gotten in line at say 1:15ish and still ridden.

Seems strange to me, because at most attractions, a CM is sent to the end of the line at closing to "close off" the line (eg: stand behind the last person in line to disallow anyone else to get in line after closing time)

I was about 10th from the end of the line on Nemo closing. They had 2 CM's at the end and others around to turn people away. When I got out it was about 1am. Only Security and a few CM's were around. Otherwise it was noman's land. Pretty cool.

Stopped by the park this morning. Got into the Downtown Disney parking lot at 9:10, got right on a monorail, into tomorrowland by 9:25 at the latest.

Wait time: 3 1/2 - 4 hours.

A half-hour into it, we decided to ride it another time. Four hours of standing in the sun was not appealing. We rode Snow White, got lunch, went home.

Productive morning, that was.

So have we decided on final plans for the Sunday meet?

Monorail, Front Gate, How early, black or white tie?

Yes, please tell, how early? I had some plans change on me so apparently I should show up at an ungodly hour to ride this thing. Breakfast after sounds good to me. And a nap.

Good question.
I was hoping someone would just let me cut before boarding the subs...

I'm kidding.

Aye, there is no god before 8am -- I'd better get some coffee in me or things are gonna get REAL interesting :P

I believe Monorail was determined to be a fool's errand. They only start running once the Park opens and it's doubtful even first riders will reach the Subs before first runners, er, walkers.

So ... it's front gate, Esplanade wait. I hope some people will be getting there before 7am. (Several people will be out late at the Cemetary Screening the night before, and 7am would seem an unlikely arrival time for them).

Those getting there early should try to sneak a coupla dozen bagels, some cream cheese and a few quarts of orange juice through bag check.
