BBB before park opening

[LuvindisCruiser]

We have an appt. for BBB at 8:40, park opens at 9:00.
We have to be there 15 min. early, so we'd get there at about 8:25.
Will we be able to get in the park and get to our appt. before park opens
and with the crowd waiting to get in ?
And, can hubby and son come with us, also ?

We actually have the same situation. Our appt is at 8:50am. I was told to get there and go thru the dining reservation line and show them my reservation number. They will call and confirm and we will be allowed to enter. I'm assuming my entire party will be able to join us but don't know the answer to that. (you know what they say about ***-u-me)

They actually won't check your ressie at all

They start allowing people with dining and BBB ressies into the parks at 7:50ish. However, our last 2 trips, they never checked to make sure we actually HAD a reservation (although the princess gowns are usually a give-a-way).

Your whole party can enter the park but only 1 person per child is technically allowed in BBB. My DH always just waits on Main St with his blackberry/ipod until we are done. They won't be allowed past the castle or off Main St but they can sit (or shop) all they want!

Glad to know this! Our appt is at 8am....and only 1 guest can go in with the child??? Can you swap off? My mom is going to be with us and I'm sure she is going to want to see her granddaughter getting made over

Technically, yes...you are only allowed one guest with the child. That being said, when it's not as busy, I've seen them allow mom and dad/mom and grammy in. Basically the answer is they *may* allow them to come in. I would just walk in and not make a big scene about it and see if you get asked to leave You could switch off but the whole process only takes about 20 minutes. Since I'm the family photographer, I go in and just show everyone the pictures afterward

We took DD4 to BBB in MK last Sept & it was BUSY-the 1st night of MNSSHP-everyone gettting ready for the party-we could barely walk thru the castle to the salon. DH & I both were able to stay w/her as she got made up-it was elbow to elbow in there. I wouldn't ask if grandma can come in -just walk in together.

We were at the MK BBB location for an 8 am appointment. It is not nearly as crowded at the earlier hours so you are more likely to be able to get both adults in...

Thanks for the info!! Glad to know it's only 20 minutes....they told me it would take around 45 minutes.....not that it really matters. We won't be in a hurry. Have to wait on the 2 boys at Pirates League. We are really excited. This will be our DD's first BBB visit.

We had an 8:05 appt. and we were done at 8:35...I had lots of time for pictures and poses all over Main St. Plus, we sat a table in the front of the Main St. bakery waiting for our delicious cinnamon roll Once they opened, we ate, slowly and then made our way to Mickey's Toontown to visit the Fairies Couldn't have been better....enjoy
