8am ADR (@BOG) with a 9am MK park opening. How does it work?

[disneydiane61]

So, I was able to move our 4/27 BOG reservation from 9:40 to 8:05 am. Happy Dance!!! But, I'm not sure I completely understand how to get there( to the restaurant). Where do I go to check in if the park isn't opened yet? How do I prove that I have a reservation? Do I just show it on my phone? I am staying off park, but plan to purchase magic bands a DTD on our arrival day,(4/25) I know I will link my park tickets to the band, but will ADR's be linked as well? If the park opens @ 9am and I need to be @ the park by 7:45, then how early should I get to the parking lot and will they be running transportation that early? Any help and/or advice is much appreciated.

Please see the blog post from Easy WDW (Josh) as to the details for proper approach to mange this reservation! You won't be disappointed, he has a very detailed account of his 8am reservation. Congrats on landing it, I hope they continue breakfast in October for our trip.

Just snagged an 8:10am ressie at 1900 Park Fare @ Grand Floridian in October. MK opens at 9AM (no EMH). Staying off-site, should we plan on driving straight to GF, leaving the car there, and taking monorail straight into the park in time for opening? Also, how much time do we allow to get from GF to MK? Thanks for your help/advice!!!

You are only allowed to leave your car at GF for 3 hours for an ADR so I think I would park at the TTC and then monorail to GF. After breakfast, monorail to MK, which will take 10-15 minutes depending on wait time. Keep in mind that there is pretty much no chance you will make it to MK by opening if that was your goal.

Thanks for the advice! Rethinking the plan and will most likely jettison the ADR in favor of being able to make it to rope drop.
