I find this very hard to believe.

Highly suspect. Almost no one "walks" from any Disnyeland Resort Parking "to the entrance."

<<And it only took three hours.>>

So she didn't encounter a 4.5 hour wait at all.

Sigh.

How does she define "at" the park? The front gate? Waiting in line to buy tickets? Pulling into the parking garage? Unless a significant portion of the people who were there for rope drop headed straight to the meet & greet (which is doubtful), I have a difficult time believing there were 3 hours worth of people in line ahead of her

If she was at rope drop, and went straight to the meet and greet, she might have an hour tops to wait. I don't buy that it was 3 hours or 4 hours, or even 2 at that time.

Journalists that brave tend to be war correspondents. They're in Syria or Afghanistan. Probably not quite as frightening as Disney obsessives.
