I don't think this event includes early entry - but I know sometimes when you can get early entry, it isn't advertised very well (for example the Halloween party at the Magic Kingdom in Disney World, I don't think it said anywhere we could get in at 4, but it is a known fact they let you in at that time - unless I missed it in the fine print). Anyway, I emailed Disney events just to double check - so I'll let you know what I find out. Even if they don't let you in early, I wish they'd do like a discounted ticket add-on or something. I am flying down from Seattle just for the event, then flying home after. I'm not going to buy a full priced day ticket for the few hours before that we'll be there, but if they discounted and it was like $50 or something, I would do that.
