TOT Question, What's the earliest they will let you in?

[TwinMommy2-3]

We will be there tonight and I was wondering what time we should arrive at the gate? I will have infants with me so I want to make this as smooth as possible. Thanks and will see many of you this evening!

I think they started letting us in around 6 (when the party started at 6:30), just into the sunshine plaza area, the rest of the park was still roped off. They had the sunshine plaze dance party area going, and all the shops open, plus people were taking pics and everything, then right at 6:30, they dropped the ropes.
p.s. when we went, the two ghiridelli stations were the one by Soarin' and by the ToT!
Have fun!
