This reminds me of that House of Mouse episode House Ghosts where Pete got scared by the ghosts from The Haunted Mansion.

Do you recall what time you got there to get that spot in the front?

Thanks for watching and thanks for the question.
I stayed at the Disneyland Hotel and had to walk through "Downtown Disney" to get to the entrance of Disneyland. I believe the security gate from Disneyland Hotel opened at 3:30am and I was 5th in line.
There was a slight panic because our group was stopped halfway through Downtown Disney for 5-minutes by construction workers who did not expect the public to be passing through. We worried we'd be behind people entering the main entrance security gate. Fortunately, we still got to registration before they even opened those gates.
If my memory serves, all security gates were supposed to open at the same time but obviously the Disneyland Hotel gate opened before main gate or Grand Floridian. Those other gates are closer, yet somehow I was in the first group of 10 people despite a 15-minute walk.
I will offer with two points of advice:
1) If you want to be in front of the castle, you need to arrive 20-minutes before your security gate opens. Check the RunDisney website and emails for that info. You should also expect some chaos in the morning while cast members do their best to improvise an unusual morning event.
2) All the yoga positions at Disneyland have their own charm. There is no substitute for being front row, but Disneyland yoga is small, intimate, and well laid out. The positions on main street were arguably more beautiful. Watch my other short video to see the full entrance experience. ua-cam.com/users/shorts1v-MfvSBCV0
