How early do the parking garages open?

We are doing Saturday, Mon, Tues, Wed at the parks. I'm thinking Saturday makes the most sense for us to use our magic morning since it will be the busiest day at the park probably and we will be excited to get in anyway since it's our first day. We are driving up from my friends house in Burbank, and can't check in to our hotel until the afternoon.
Wow this is turning in to a long question. Anyway, how early do the parking garages open? I would want to leave Burbank in plenty of time to get up to the MM right when we can get in.

I don't know if it has changed, but as of last summer, the parking garage opens one hour before regular park opening, which is the same time as magic morning. We didn't know and got to the garage about 25 minutes before it opened, but they ended up letting us in about 10 minutes early. The first cars are directed to the open lot right next to the trams, but don't wait for the trams to start up--walk through Downtown Disney to the gates.

I wonder if you would be able to park earlier for MM if you used the Downtown Disney parking for the three free hours and then moved your car to the garage or your hotel.

This is from the Disneyland.com Parking Information webpage:

Parking structures for the theme parks open one hour prior to the published and scheduled Disneyland Park opening time. On days featuring Magic Morning Early Admission, the Mickey & Friends Parking Structure opens 90 minutes before the published Disneyland Park opening time.

Wow. I guess they actually let us in late that day instead of early for MM. There was quite a line of cars waiting behind us.
