Earliest I've arrived is about 7-7:30am at MK for a Crystal Palace ADR. Got a front row parking spot even.

Got to the monorail and it was us and three other people on the entire monorail. Was pretty cool being that secluded at the TTC and again inside the MK.

Vigorously enough that they will find you. There are only so many places to hide and they know all of them.

I do not want to be the CM looking for stowaways in the forest on that island. I forget, do they count everyone that arrives on the island and leaves to see if there could be people left?

No. People have been trying to hide away in the parks pretty much since the day they opened. There are a limited number of places form them to hide and the security that does the evening sweeps knows each and every one of them. If by some miracle you evade detection by security, the swarm of maintenance CM's that descend on the parks in the evening will.

MK toll booths usually open about 2 hrs before the park opens, and a parking lot crew usually is out about the same time, to help guests with ADR's and BBB/PL Reservations.

Also, sometimes they stop filling the Minnie lot (the closest!) for some reason after just filling one or 2 rows and start parking Pluto, which is a bit further away. I've seen this happen as early as 8 AM or a few minutes after. So, you already have less time to work with if you are running a little late, and now you are faced with either waiting for the tram or a longer walk just to get to the TTC from your car.

There is a really good reason for switching from the minnie to pluto lots around 8am. Before the trams are cleared for operation cars are parked in Minnie, as it is within walking distance of the entrance. Once the trams are up, traffic is switched to Pluto, which allows parking to bleed traffic to minnie if traffic backs up and/ or when Pluto or Daisy is full, as the trams are still picking up guests parked in Pluto and Daisy, this allows guests in minnie to walk in quickly. Now if the traffic really backs up they also bleed to sleepy and sometimes even dopey, which are as close as minnie, and again allow the trams to pick up guests packed in the further away back lots (eg. pluto, goofy, daisy, donald, happy, grumpy, sneezy and bashful.)

Looks like a time to break in a recent hire.
