5 hours ahead of / behind / earlier / later

Hi, I'm not sure how to express these concepts:

  1. In New York it's (5 hours) earlier / later than in Fantasyland.

  2. In New York the time is (5 hours) ahead of / behind Fantasyland time.

  3. In New York it's (5 hours) ahead of / behind Fantasyland time.
Some of them sound strange. What are the usual ways to say such a thing?

Thank you in advance.

In the U.S., you're most likely to just hear "New York is five hours ahead of Fantasyland."

... provided Fantasyland is somewhere out in the Pacific Ocean, of course.
