BBB early appointment question

[kathy040690]

Hey guys !
My daughter has an appointment at the BBB on the 28th. The park opens that day at 8AM and her appointment is at 815.
Am I able to go through the line that is for those with early reservations or only through the regular line to enter the park?
staying at the courtyard theme park. what time should we be leaving in the morning to be there for 815?

Hi kathy040690 - No one has jumped in to answer your query so I will take a stab at it. Hopefully someone with more direct experience will weigh in once I have bumped this. I have not stayed at the Courtyard but have stayed at FFI which is pretty close. I would estimate that in the morning it took between 15-20mins to walk to esplanade and clear security and get in line at the entry gate. I'd think you would want to be at the gates by 7:15 or 7:30 at the very latest. I'd just ask a front gate CM about whether you can use the early entry line. If not, as you probably already know (you've posted 254 times!), they typically let non-EMH/MM people in early anyway for rope drop and keep them all on Main Street. If you are held on Main Street for rope drop at 8am, then it will be no problem for you to walk the distance between Main Street and BBB in the 15 minutes time you have after rope drop. Have fun at BBB. My daughter who is now almost 16 did it years ago and selected Tinkerbell for her makeover - it was loads of fun to spend the rest of the day at Dland with a cute little Tinkerbell!
