Is it too late to start playing Midnight WoW?

I was really looking forward to playing Midnight WoW, got my Level 80 all ready waiting in org. But due to my three full-time jobs that I work in to feed my two families, I have missed the launch.

As of writing this post, Midnight has started 23 mins ago. I fear that I may have missed my chance - everyone else has already leveled so much. Is there any hope of catching up to the rest of my server? Or is it too late?
