sort of. there's something called early entry which is where one area of the park is opened an hour before the entire park is. currently that section is fantasyland.

you need a hopper bonus to get access to it.

you buy it. not sure if you're familiar with how the WDW ticket system used to work, but it's much more basic at DL than it is as WDW now.

You buy either a single park ticket or a hopper ticket. the hopper lets you go between the two parks on any given day. the hoppers are available in # of days configurations. starting at the 3 day hopper level, there's a 3 day bonus hopper which entitles you to one early entry and also a $10 game card for the ESPN Zone.

you can buy the hopper bonus through disneyland.com, citypass (post 4/1/05) or ares travel. you don't need a dtc package. the only unique thing the dtc package will get you is admission to toontown madness.

Do you get early entry with an annual pass? We just got our first ones, so, I don't know the ropes yet.

no. early entry is a one time thing and it's only available via the park hopper bonus.

by the way, i neglected to mention they can be bought at the gates too of course.
