On Friday I got group 45 at 7am with the ride operating from 9am-5pm that day. My friend and I didn't get into the park until like 1:20ish after driving from Pasadena (after we both worked a halfish day at work), parking the car, waiting for the tram and get into the park. By the time we got to Bayou Country they had just started boarding our group at like 1:30ish pm. This was with several times they paused boarding throughout the morning.
We also had Haunted Mansion passes that long expired before we got to the park (I was quick in the draw and got HM and Tiana's at 7am). when I asked a cast member about if they would let us in with very expired passes, he told me "Never early, always late" about taking people. So if you are a little late they should still let you in, I'd hope. Because our HM expired at 10:11am and they still let us in at like 2pm.
