Is MK the only park with a pre-opening show?

I know to plan on getting to MK 30-45 min before opening to grab a good view of the opening show, but what about the other parks? I haven't seen anything about epcot, DHS, or AK, so I'm going to plan to arrive just shortly before opening. Is there anything cool to merit an earlier arrival?

There's no opening shows at any of the other parks and nothing that merits an earlier arrival.
 
It's true there is nothing special going on, but DHS often opens about 15 minutes early (or at least they did in Jan, and I have read many other reports of this... perhaps someone can comment on whether this has been done lately). AK opened a few minutes early for us as well, but Epcot did not.

We still like to get there a bit early to be at the front of the pack to get through the gates, but I doubt we really gained much of an advantage in those few minutes. It just makes me *feel* better to see hundreds of people behind me, instead of in front of me. :rotfl2:
 

Though not really a show in any way, my favorite "rope "drop" is Animal Kingdom. When they open the park to Circle of Life. Goosebumps every single time!
