Assuming your goal is WWoHP at IoA, I'd be at the turnstiles no later than twenty minutes before EE starts--7:40a. It is not unusual for TMs to open the gates around then. I'd be arriving at the garage around 7:20a. If you don't have ticket media yet, allow for another 5 minutes or so. Others' opinions may differ.

If you do EE and Ollivander's is on your to-do list, go there first. Resist the temptation to go to FJ first. If you don't care about Ollivander's, then go to FJ first.

I agree. The parking garage says they open 90 minutes prior to "official" opening time (30 minutes before EE) I think they probably open about an hour before EE in my experience. I would be at the park entrance 20-30 minutes before.

We were there for 7 days last week, never made it to the park till 10:30 the earliest, never had a problem with excessive lines, maybe we were lucky, but Disney Commando style in not needed IMHO.

Lovely!!! The early admission perk with offsite packages really is a nice addition.

I rode FJ 6 times yesterday. 2 during early entry, 2 later in the day - one with single rider, then the ride stopped so we all rode together immediately as they were letting us get right back on, and then 2 in the last hour with minimal wait. FJ and WWoHP are very doable IF you get there early OR plan to be there at the end of the day.
