Anyway, we are staying at the GCH and have a 3-day park hopper (not purchased in a package but separately because it was surprisingly cheaper). With the 3-day Park Hopper we get "one early admission". My question is, what is is included with the early admission? What attractions are open? Is there somewhere to find out what days this will be offered during our trip? How much earlier can you get into the parks? Is it both DL and DCA, or just DL? Any help would be greatly appreciated. We will be at the DL resort from July 1-July 5 (I know, probably one of the busiest times, but the only week we all had off in the summer together to go somewhere). Thanks again!

The crowds will be just a tiny fraction of what they will be later in the day. All the rides are walk ons. By the time the parks get crazy crowded, you can be back at the pool at the Grand relaxing!
Originally Posted By mickeysdaman alright, i know the EE on the 24th is cancelled because of the premier Darkbeer, but what other early entries are available during the week of the 21-25...there has to be some other days it operates right? my friends and i will be really bumbed if we get jipped on an EE day...were staying at Paradise Pier and are hoping for atleast 1 if not a 2nd EE day...let me know! thanks ahead of time

Originally Posted By Darkbeer ^ There is only one Grad Night this upcoming week, Thursday the 22nd, so the park will close early (9 PM) on that night, and open late (9 AM) on Friday the 23rd, but there is not normally a Early Entry day. So you should be fine, with the exception of the 24th, but basically everyone gets Early Entry that morning with the 6:30 AM start. Sunday the 25th will be fine, as the EE is held on the east side of the park. There are rumors that the West Side might open a few minutes late on Sunday, as they are concerned about getting everything they can out of the area after the premiere to help with the crowds. (Of course, they won't get the bleachers out, but other stuff brought in for the premiere party.)
Originally Posted By mickeysdaman wait a second darkbeer... i thought early entry was offered mondays tuesdays, thursdays, and saturdays. you just mentioned the 25th (sunday) as being okay because EE is on the east side of the park, but EE isnt offered on sundays. am i right?
Originally Posted By mickeysdaman well i just looked at my Disneyland park hour calendar from my AAA package and it shows early entry as only being offered on the 21 (a wednesday). i recall darkbeer mentioning the thursday EE being moved to wednesday a month or so ago when i asked previously. Also, according to the calendar the park doesnt open late on friday. The calendar may be right. im just trying to figure it out because we have reservations to goofies kitchen before the park opens and i want to make sure i dont have that scheduled on a early entry day
Originally Posted By mickeysdaman no i havnt tried that...where would i call? i mean shouldnt the park hours calendar be right...it sounds like thats the way it should be. lol
Originally Posted By SuzieQ AAA's calendars are printed way in advance. I would not count on them to be accurate. Heck, our AAA agent asked ME for DLR information. The parks themselves will have the best information. Resort Information # is (714) 781-4565
