TL;DR

Extra Magic Time

Heads up: 9 AM sits inside the Extra Magic Time window, the early entry granted to Disney hotel stays. Without that perk you cannot be in line at this time. As a day-ticket guest, the smart move is to arrive twenty minutes before Disneyland Park opens to the public, badge in hand, and head straight to Indiana Jones™ and the Temple of Peril at rope drop.

Which factors drive the wait time at Indiana Jones™ and the Temple of Peril?

Four factors really move the wait at Indiana Jones™ and the Temple of Peril: school holidays (French, UK and Belgian calendars), weather, overall park attendance, and seasonal events like Halloween or Christmas.
