We arrived around 7:20 and got seated about 2hrs later....made it back to Dallas after midnight, but it was worth it.
The earlier the better. They have chairs and benches you can sit on while you wait. Or you can bring your own if they run out of seating. That way you can mingle if you want. The line usually moves pretty good.
I recommend being there 45 min before they open to get in when they open. You can wait in the car until the line starts to form outside 👍🏼
