Early Entry – Official Details

[chrisnjilly]

Hello Everyone,

We thought this confirmation of full details of the early entry arrangements warranted posting a new thread as well as adding the information to the Early Admission post from a few days ago. The details below are from a reply we received from Disneyland Resort Guest Communications 13 January 2005

Early Entry allows Guests to enter Fantasyland one hour prior to opening of Disneyland park to enjoy the following attractions:

Matterhorn Bobsleds
King Arthur Carrousel
Mad Tea Party
Dumbo the Flying Elephant
Mr. Toad's Wild Ride
Alice in Wonderland
Pinocchio's Daring Journey
Peter Pan's Flight
Snow White's Scary Adventures

Early Entry is generally offered every Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Admission to Early
Entry is included with 3, 4, and 5 Day Park Hopper Bonus Tickets purchased through Disneyland.com and select travel packages.

So it will be an early morning call for us Thursday 7th April

So, if I don't book my hotel through Disneyland.com, but purchase park hopper passes, they include Early Entry?

We're using Expedia for our hotel/flight to save about $400 off the cost of a Good Neighbor package (don't need most of the perks with that), but I would definitely buy our park hopper passes online through Disneyland.com if they include Early Entry.

Am I reading the description correctly?

I went to Disneyland.com and checked that I wanted tickets only.
On the next page, I clicked on the 4 Day PH, which is what we will need.
It's actually called a Bonus Ticket, which includes one early entry admission.
They're even discounted below the gate price, so this is definitely the way we'll go.
Just in case anyone is interested:

4-Day Park Hopper® Bonus Ticket (valid from January 4, 2005 thru January 2, 2006)

Flex your savings muscle! Purchase your tickets in advance and save $30 over Disneyland® Resort ticket booth pricing. Experience four full days of admission to both Disneyland® park and Disney's California Adventure™ park, plus receive an ESPN Zone® Arena Game Card ($10 value) and one early entry admission -- but only when you order in advance!

Children $129, Adults $159

You save $ and get an early entry admission (even free shipping) - YEAH!

Early entry is a special perk for booking through Walt Disney Travel Company -- you get early entry to Fantasyland (unless they change the land), Toontown (which typically opens an hour after the park opens), and some other inclusions.

If you purchase the park hoppers at the gate, then you won't get the inclusions. If you purchase your tickets through an agency that books through Walt Disney Travel Company, like Dreams Unlimited Travel, then you get the inclusions.

I think if you buy a 3 or more day hopper ticket in advance anywhere, you will get one early entry. Certainly if you buy them at disneyland.com you will get it. However you will NOT get it if you buy the pass at the gate.
