Does DCA Open Early too?

[talie95]

Hello.....so I've been to DL a lot and I know that they open MS 1/2 hr. early but do they do anything like that at DCA? I've never been at DCA when they open but we will be when we go in Oct. so I was just trying to get an idea of when to get to the gates. If they do let people in early where are they allowed to go until actual park opening time? Thanks!!

DCA's official park opening time is 10:00 am. However, most days they will open the front gates at 9:30 am and the only ride opening during this time will be Soarin. The rest of the park is roped off until 10 am.

Also, if you're staying at one of the resort hotels they will give you an unofficial EE into DCA as long as you have proof that you are staying at the resort with you.

We arrived at DCA one morning about 15 minutes before it opened. We were allowed to enter, but only hang around the sun plaza and Soarin. We were meeting people so I opted for a cup of coffee and watched the kids run around the almost empty plaza. We did not need any early entry permission - just our APs.
