ADR during EMH (would have been PPO if not for EMH) :/

[lovelymarshmallow]

I have scoured a lot of threads and google searches and I am getting conflicting information. I'm hoping you guys can confirm for me!

I have an 8:10 BOG ADR on 12/1 and after I snagged it, I realized it was an EMH day so my PPO dreams went out the window. I haven't been to MK for the new welcome show so now I am struggling to see if I have any advantage having this reservation. The park opens at 8 (EMH- we're staying on property) but I am reading that the welcome show would start at 8:55 because the non-resort guests cannot enter until 9. Additionally, with my reservation being at 8:10, will we have any advantage over being let in earlier (past the band checks) for our ADR? We'll also be sitting in there eating while the rest of the world gets to hit attractions with minimal wait. I'm signed up for reservation finders in hopes of getting BOG on another MK day or another meal time... I think that's the best option.

PS- I realize this is heavily related to welcome show questions but it revolves around my ADR... any help is appreciated.

Other than getting to eat at BoG, you have absolutely NO advantage. You MIGHT get a relatively empty Main St if they let you in at 7:45 ahead of regular, non-EMH guests who can get in and onto Main St at 8:00, but that isn't even a guarantee.
