early entry

[Texowl2]

can anybody tell me what rides are included in early entry at Disneyland? Also, any suggestions on websites as good as Deb Will's Allearsnet.com but for Disneyland?

I've been informed that Fantasyland is the only area open for Early Entry, so those would be the attractions you could do in that first hour.

It is only for Fantayland rides.

There are several good DL sites, although none quite as comprehensive as allearsnet.com.

Here's a "few"

Adding two more questions to this thread...

1) are any Fantasyland attractions EXCLUDED from the early entry program?

2) is it better to board the monorail or walk to the front gates for early entry?

and, if the answer to 2) is the monorail - for a 7:00am early entry, what time can you board the monorail?

Thanks.

particularly curious as to the Matterhorn???

You have to walk to the gates, as the monorail does not run until scheduled park opening. Just like for regular entry be at the front gates 30 minutes early. Be sure to get in the EE line, they should be clearly marked as such.

As far as I know all rides in Fantasyland are included in the EE. I also believe that Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters are also included. The Monorail is deffiently included in EE.

I've also found http://www.mouseplanet.com/mp/tripplanning.htm helpful in planning our first trip to DLR. We love allearsnet.com and glad to see they're starting some DLR info, too (great menus!).

1. Are there only specific days for EE? If so, which days?
2. Is EE only available to Disneyland Resort Hotel guests (DLH, GC & PP) or is it open to everyone?
3. I am staying at the GC. How much time should it take to get to the gates? How early can you go towards the gates?

Yes, the Matterhorn is included in early entry. We used our early entry last Thursday and walked right on to the Matterhorn first thing. Once we got off, there was a bit of a line but not more than 10 minutes.

EE is Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. It is for those who have purcahsed park 3+ dayhopper plus passes

3. I am staying at the GC. How much time should it take to get to the gates? How early can you go towards the gates?

I would plan on 10-15 minutes to get to the gates from the GC unless you are super quick. My kids really slow me down! I have read that you should get to the gates 30 minutes early, so 1 1/2 hrs before regular park opening. I've also read there are specific lines to get into for EE, but I'm not up to date on that.
