    i prefer, at least on my first day of the vacation to enter through the main gates and walk through a tunnel(enter the goose bumps/smiles/amd tears in the eyes).

I did know about the Early Morning and I was told that it isn't advertised but if you ask when you check in they will give you some kind of pass for early entry everyday. No clue if this is right.
