Sundays and Thursdays are the best nights to go for sureYesterday I went with friends only going once and we had to wait out front. We did each house once, did gringotts, saw bill and ted, and took an hour break and still was able to leave at 12.30. So yeah last night was very reasonable. Longest line we waited in was AHS at about 45 mins with a posted 75.
How were crowds last night? From what the app is showing, wait times seem fairly reasonable for everything. For those actually at the event, have you been using the app and is it at all accurate?
I'd assume there's some good logistical reason for that. Opposing pedestrian traffic flow or somethingOne other thing of note from Saturday. We did S&S at Finns for Exorcist and when we exited they held us until after the front gates opened for us to go to AHS. Their reasoning is that Hello Kitty gets exclusive access but when AHS exits they can go into Exorcist but Exorcist can't go to AHS... Not the biggest issue but kind of hypocritical.
Since they are actively trying to discourage people from using Hello Kitty S&S you would think it would be the reverse of this.I'd assume there's some good logistical reason for that. Opposing pedestrian traffic flow or something

They have TM's walk the line and tell guests that the Hello Kitty holding area only has access to AHS. They then talk up the other holding areas mentioning they have more space and have access to two houses.This is the first I am hearing of them actively trying to discourage. How are they attempting to do so?

Yesterday I was 6th in line at the S&S at Lucy and there was much talk between team members, managers and some guests about how bad the line is becoming in that area. On only the second weekend the line extended back to near Duff Gardens before tickets were even begun to be scanned. They seem very concerned as to how long the line will become moving forward.
Typically everyone from the holding area makes into the soundstage queue fairly quick.Maybe these two things are connected, like they are holding back those who waited at Finn's because everyone in the Hello Kitty area was not into the AHS queue line yet?

Also, when you say they held you from getting to AHS until the front gates opened, where did they hold you (as in, were you closer to the house entrance than the front gate people)?
They are going to have to set up a queue inside the holding area. It's the only way to maintain order and flow.
So then we will have to queue up down Hollywood, in order to queue up in the holding area, in order to enter the Despicable Me queue, in order to enter the AHS queue...talk about a living Mobius strip....:doh:
Why don't they just preload AHS for Stay and Scream? They have the space in the SS and it keeps order.
