Time Epcot parking opens?

[scuba diver]

I know what time they close the Epcot Auto plaza, but what time does it open on Saturday for the 1/2?

I'm a local that will be driving over the 1/2 and want to get there early to get some sleep in the car before having to go stand around at the start line.

Any ideas?

They open it around the time the buses start picking people up at the resorts. I think that is around 3:00 or so.
