With early entry, I have also heard that resort guests are being let in at 7 a.m. and you can bet that those resort guests are probably already in line by at least 6:00 a.m. That said, that is still probably your best bet for waiting, say, 1-2 hours vs 3+ hours to get into Diagon Alley and (hopefully) ride Gringotts at some point during the day. Get there as early as possible before the park opens.
