Do Ticket Windows open earlier than the Parks?

[ElaineHN]

Can anyone tell me if the ticket windows at the various parks open earlier than the park opens? I specifically need to purchase one day tickets at the ticket gates (I cannot order on-line or early, I'm not worried about a discount, I just need to buy at the gate) ... will i be able to do so without a huge delay? I'd love to be able to go to the ticket window early and just have the rest of my party meet me there closer to entrance time.

If there is a place that lists ticket windows and what time they open, please let me know. I've searched through this site and the official Disney site, but I didn't come up with much about the ticket gates.

Also, on one day tickets can I buy several and distribute them to other members of my party later or do we all have to be present when the tickets are purchased?

Thanks!
Elaine

I don't know the answer to the first part of your question, but you do NOT all have to be present when you buy the tickets.

I know that the ticket windows at the transportation center definately open earlier than the MK and if I remember correctly the windows were open at the other parks as well...maybe 30min to an hour early.
