I believe Monorail was determined to be a fool's errand. They only start running once the Park opens and it's doubtful even first riders will reach the Subs before first runners, er, walkers.
So ... it's front gate, Esplanade wait. I hope some people will be getting there before 7am. (Several people will be out late at the Cemetary Screening the night before, and 7am would seem an unlikely arrival time for them).
Those getting there early should try to sneak a coupla dozen bagels, some cream cheese and a few quarts of orange juice through bag check.
