Does disneyland and california adventure have a park opening ceremony like the wdw parks do? We didn't remember one from last time, but were only there for a few days so we might have missed it.

They have a countdown at the turnstiles... and depending on the time the park opens.. they'll open the gates 30mins prior to park opening.. and let you go all the way up to the hub. Then have the rope drop at each of the hub spokes into the different lands at park opening time.
Having just returned from our first trip to DL (we go to WDW 4-5 times a year), they do NOT have an opening ceremony like they do at WDW.
On Monday we were there at 8AM, and there was one guy counting down.
On Tuesday we took advantage of EE, and at 7AM there was not even a countdown.
After many many trips I have a tip about the lines. Some of the turnstiles are positioned directly in front of tree planters. People don't see that the turnstile is open until they get close and then they break off from their line and form really short lines that keep replinishing. People in the back see the really short line and assume their line is feeding two turnstiles. They are not. Each turnstile has it's own line. If you see a super short line in the front, usually in front of a planter, go get in it. It's a line, it's not cutting. We have saved so much time by just doing a little extra looking.
Does that make sense?

Thank you for the advice, it really works!
Ha! So true.Try not to have a heart attack when you see the lines for the turnstiles at DLR.
