Any Early Opening Times For Memorial Day Wkend?

[Figment22]

When we visited USF/IOA the week before Easter, the parks were listed as opening at 9:00 a.m. but were actually open earlier (8:00 a.m. IIRC). We leave Thursday for Orlando and wondered if there were similar plans for Memorial Day Weekend.

Any insiders know?? TIA.

I haven't seen any early openings, but I assume that if you go on a Saturday, the park will be pretty crowded. Thus, the gates may open at around 8:30 or 8:45. The best bet is to arrive at around 8:30.

We're usually at the gates by 8:20. I just wanted to get a heads-up if we should arrive even earlier. On the one day we knew they were opening at 8:00 a.m., we hit IOA at opening, rode Hulk three times and Spiderman once and then hightailed it over to USF and knocked ourselves out on ROTM and MIB before the crowds ever hit. That extra hour is just GOLD!
