Pre-paid tickets and arrival time

[#1 Disney mom]

We are going to Universal/IOA in July and have purchased tickets online, which we printed out at home. This will be the first time we were there since 2004. I thought that I read that someone said they were able to go in before the "gate" opens. Is there a seperate line for people who have printed tickets and can you go in sooner than the park opens?

We also purchased express passes since we will only be there one day. Our strategy is to go straight to Harry Potter, since the new ride there doesn't qualify for this. Suggestions?

Only onsite guests and WWOHP package holders can get in early. I think sometimes they will open up a little early but with everything going on I don't think they will do that for the GP anytime soon

Is there a seperate line for people who have printed tickets, or is it all the same line for everyone?

Same line, there are kiosk outside of each of the parks for people to print tickets if they need to pick them up at the park. Or they can purchase them, but everyone uses the same lines once they are ready to go into the park.
