How early to get in line?

How early do you get in line in the morning to enter the parks? We were planning on getting there 1/2 hour before the park opens, but I'm now wondering if that will be early enough? We don't need to be the first in line, but I don't want to be way at the back either? We are staying at the PoP and are planning on taking the bus, so we don't need to worry about parking.

I would say a 1/2 hour is a good time frame. That is what we have done in the past.

We were there about a 1/2 hour early each day, and it was perfect. We saw the opening ceremonies, and were early enough to get alot done without big waits. A 1/2 hour early worked very well.

I think we might get there a bit earlier than that, but we drive. My goal is to be parked in the first row of each park. At MK, we get there early enough we don't need to take the tram.

A lot of times, we book an early PS for breakfast so we are already in the park when it opens. We do that at Epcot and AK. That way we don't have to fight the crowds to get in. It's kind of cool to have the park all to yourself.

A half-hour is fine, though. My husband would really appreciated that. He hates going and standing around waiting...
