What time can we enter parks?

I know this is probably listed somewhere else, but I couldn't find it. What time can we actually enter the parks? We are staying off-site. If MK opens at 9am, what time does the parks' doors open?

They open at 9am.

I have heard of them opening the doors early, but they never have when we have been there.....

Anyone else have better info?

I'm afraid there is no "better info." The info already posted is correct. If the stated opening time of MK is 9am, then MK opens at 9am. Years ago, it wasn't unusual for the MK to open a bit early and start letting guests in as early as 45 min ahead of time. That hasn't happened for several years.

That answers my question perfectly. I read somewhere about entering a little early and actually being in line at 9am to be the first to ride something... But I figure if we park about 8:30, and ride the monarail and be at the gate at 9, that'll be fine.

What time does the monarail start running from the parking lots?

An hour before park opening.
