I have never heard unofficial opening times before. I would keep an eye on the official opening times, maybe they will extend early opening.

We're going in February from the 10th. I'm watching the Galaxy's Edge situation too, as one of my children (and hubby!) is Star Wars obsessed.
I'll report back...

We’re visiting Star Wars from 13th February - watching boarding groups and keeping an eye on when Space 220 opens have become an obsession 🙈

Also arrive February (10th). I'm hoping Disney extend the early opening hours for Hollywood Studios but I think if they were, they'd have announced it already.

I’m hoping they don’t! We’re not early risers and Disney falls far enough into our trip that we’d struggle to get there! Being offsite doesn’t help either 🙈

At the moment there are no unofficial early openings.

The official opening time is currently 7am. The CMs start to allow guests into the park about 10mins before the official opening time (as they often do with every park), and you can only start booking onto a RotR boarding group from the official opening time.

In mid-February, the official opening time will be 9am (according to the current park hours). I suspect the same procedure will be followed as mentioned above. You'll be allowed into the park slightly before the official opening time and only allowed to book into a boarding group from the official opening time. Assuming boarding groups are still used in mid-Feb (they may not be).

Of course, it is possible that Disney will move the official opening time to an earlier time in the morning like they did in December (from 8am to 6am, I think?). But, at the moment, it's showing as 9am for mid-Feb.

Thank you. I thought this would be the case. With the later opening I was wondering what time people will start queueing. I suppose we will only know that when February actually comes round
