BBB appt before park opens - how many can enter?

[hfdoyle]

My daughter has an 8:15am appointment at the BBB in MK on a non-EMH day. We are a party of 7, booked in 2 rooms (my family of 5 plus the g-parents). Can we all enter the park together at that time?

What will your party do while you are in the Boutique? I am reading only one o two persons are allowed in.

If you all had reservations for Crystal Palace you would all be going in. When we had an early reservation for breakfast we didnt have to show anything to be let in. They only asked where we were heading.

I am curious to your replies.

we were at the very front on the line on the left hand side for rope drop. When we arrived, there were groups coming up tp the CM at the front and saying they had an 8:30 reservation at CP, a 8:15 adr, etc and she was letting them in. They even let DS & DH go in to use the rest room by the Town Hall. She was replaced around 8:30 by another CM who made everyone give her thier conformation number and those whose ADRs were not within the next 15 minutes or so, she didn't let in until they were in that 15 minute window. She also made people go back through the crowd to use the restroom at the turnstile entrance. (DS son would've never made that trip!).

I guess what I'm saying is it depends on who the CM at the entrance is. Good Luck!

Well, they will likely peek in to the boutique, but not stay as I've heard it's a tight space. I'm sure the g-parents will wait with my sons, perhaps sit on a bench and enjoy the relative quiet. We're just trying to stay together as much as possible. We have a CP ADR later that morning. I'll definitely bring along my conf #, it's in my phone.

For MK BBB one adult per child is allowed, this is what I was told when I booked. For the appointment, I did see at least 2 parents with a few girls. It is very tight in there.

The Cm at the gate May or May not let you all in. BBB is very small as others have said and they really do not let more than 2 people accompanying in ( there is simply no room). What is the rest of your party going to do ?

I had the same question and called BBB to ask. The CM was uncertain and put me on hold to ask. She kept thinking what others here are thinking, that we wanted all 8 of us actually IN BBB, but I just wanted to know if they could come in the park with us. MIL wants us to stay all together and it would be neat to get some pics of the empty park. We never intended on all of us going INTO BBB, they will most likely relax, take pictures, and wait for us.

The CM came back on the line and told me that they would let us all in the park for an early appointment, but by the response I have gotten on the DIS, I'm not completely confident that they will.

It really depends on who is manning the gate. There are some Cms who let everyone and anyone in, and there are others that triple check adrs and don't .The person on the phone has no idea what the cms at the gate will do.It totally stinks but that is how it works. We had a Cm that wouldn't let us in till literally 15 mins before adr time, and double checked our name on the adr list.

We were at BBB for an 8:15 appt in November. We had no problem with our party of 6 entering the MK. We actually were all also allowed in to BBB so I am not sure if this policy has changed since then? Even if you are all not allowed in BBB I would be pretty sure you would all be allowed in to MK as a group.

If you are allowed in early, you are expected to go somewhere. They don't want folks to come in and "hang out".

We had an early appointment and were taking pics around an empty Main Street and I was approched twice, to ask where I was going. Of course it was done nicely (one even offered to take a pic of DD and I), as if they were just inquiring, but I had a feeling they wanted to make sure I had a reason for being there that early.
