Basically as the title says. I have an ADR for Crystal Palace at 8:35am coming up in February. This is the best I could do after searching for weeks. Would you say this time of ADR is worth it for getting into MK early for some photos and eating and getting into the park by around 9:15? We are a party of 2 adults so not super interested in meeting characters.
 
That time may not help you at rope drop to get on a ride early but it is certainly is worth walking into the park with less people. We have had ADR's around 50-60 mins before park opening the last few years at CP and it was great getting pictures with the castle behind you with less people. You may have to wait to be seated so I would count on being done closer to 9:30. I loved their buffet and it kept us full till around 1pm. Make sure you check the parks opening hours. This year we have early am ADRs for BOG. Keep trying for something closer to 8 am.
 
I agree, getting that not-crowded time with the Castle and Main Street is 100% worth it! (That's how I got away with my avatar haha!).
 
With an 8:35 reservation, you can get in as soon as they start letting people in; around 7:45. There's no reason to wait until 8:35 to show up.
 

Wow thanks everyone this is awesome to know! Well my plan is to get there as soon as we can and hope they will seat us early! Because its not looking like I will be able to find any sooner reservation time.
