IMO, there is a reason that Disney is paying its CMs in MGM to be at the parks, I'm guessing, 5:00 am for a 6:00 am opening. Paying for bus drivers to begin earlier, etc. and that is because they are expecting massive crowds. Once the bulk of people move from SW, they will be going somewhere in the park, and I would expect that would be early/late morning just about the same time non-resort guests can arrive.
Exactly. I can guarantee they are not going to the expense of opening multiple parks that early and NOT expecting massive crowds. Having done the 7am FOP dash several times (even more recently after its been open for awhile) and with the Star Wars hysteria being significantly higher than Avatar......yeah, its going to be busy even at 6am. The other early entry parks might have a slightly more gradual build up of crowds through the morning, but DHS is going to be a zoo from 6am onward.
