Early entry on military park hoppers?

[javaj]

I'm considering buying our passes from the base ticket office, it is definitely much cheaper. But they have no idea what early entry is...so they can't tell me whether their 3 day park hoppers have early entry. They don't have the passes on hand so they can't look at them physically, they said all it says on the order form is "3 Day Hopper Adult and 3 Day Hopper Child".

Does anyone know whether all 3 day hoppers have early entry? or how can I find out?

The EE privilege is for a 3+ day parkhopper bonus ticket. It is my understanding that the ones sold by the military are not bonus tickets. The bonus tickets say "bonus" on them and on the back say something to the effect "One Day of Early Entry Is Allowed" with the ticket.

The ticket price you should compare to is the pre-purchase price on the DLR website, or, even better, at a place like Ares travel www.arestravel.com/anaheim/disneyland.php. These prices are better than the standard gate price.

You can then decide if the extra cost is worth the one hour of EE.

We always get in on EE with military tix you just need your room key and your ticket it does not matter what ticket it is

That is only if you are staying at a Disney property (DLH, PP, GCH).

When we went this past October, I called DLR to get clarification on if the Military 3-day hoppers included early entry and was told no. Other than guests staying on property, 3-day hoppers purchased online or through certain travel companies, the ones purchased from MWR do not include the EE privilege. The early entry is printed on the pass itself.

That being said, once inside the gate (prior to the rope drop) I did see/overhear some CM's on Main Street allowing visitors to get into the early entry line by simply showing that they had a 3-day hopper pass (admittedly, I couldn't confirm if they were scrutinizing what was actually printed on it). It looked as though they were just glancing at the tickets and waiving them through. I didn't try my luck though, so don't know if they'd let us slide.

the last time i was there, they didnt let us in... they had a separate gate for Early Entry and regular Entry... then they let them in around 30 min before the park suppose to open.

To be honest, depending on how much it is, i would rather just come an extra day then go to EE.
