Yup - no real advantage if you show up at park open. Miss out on opening ceremonies.My experience was not good last year with it. It felt like we waited almost the exact same time as we would have in the regular line in the blistering heat. They began scanning at the same time they opened the regular line too and we missed the “opening” from Oddfellow. There were no real lines, so it was a mass of people and they only had like two TMs scanning tickets. It was not worth it in my opinion last year.
If they want this to be a real perk for onsite guests, at least pre-scan guests and have a mini holding section that connects to today cafe's S&S.
