What time for Early Entry?

[RedE2Go]

If Park hours are 9-7. Then is Early Entry actually at 8a.m. or do they cheat it a little and open any earlier than 8?
What time should I try to catch a bus from AKL for Early Entry?
Thanks for your help.

EE is officially 1 hour before the park opening time, so in most cases 8:00 a.m. However, during our last trip, Epcot pushed it back to 7:45 a.m. one day and even as early as 7:35 a.m. one time. MGM, AK, and MK seemed to stick pretty close to the 8:00 a.m. time, although they might "fudge" a little and open a few minutes early.
