Creator's Key Takeaways

Early entry is a perk for guests staying on property at any one of the three hotels.

It is worth getting up early and arriving and making all of this effort.

We still took full advantage of what we were able to do and get on rides in 2 hours.

Always have a plan B. Plan B is Indiana Jones.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Arrive at security by 6:30 AM for early entry from Disneyland Hotel.
✓Use the dedicated security line for hotel guests under the sorcerer hats.
✓Have your hotel key or reservation ready to show for early entry access.
✓Avoid the Monorail during early entry to save time.
✓Always have a backup plan if a ride is closed.

Wasting early entry time waiting in line — Arrive early to be at the front of the gate; rides start at 7:30 AM, so waiting in line before then doesn't waste park time.
Not knowing which rides are open during early entry — Check the app or linked resource for attractions open during early entry; Fantasyland and Tomorrowland rides are typically open.
