Good for you! I love that place.

Go to the front gates (just outside the monorail), just like you normally would to get into WDW. They are used to people with early ADRs coming in. Have your reservation # handy, just in case; however, they'll usually ask if you have an ADR and won't give you much trouble. Plan to show up at the front entrance to the MK about 10 or 15 minutes before your ADR, so you'll have time to get in and walk to the castle. Have fun!

Just as an addendum to that...I haven't had a pre-park ADR for a few years at CRT; however, the last time we did (3 years ago), there were several other people there waiting, too. They had clipboards with our names on them and checked us off as we came in. We had to line up and when most everyone was there, they walked us in. I don't know if that's changed.

I do know that this is the way they still do it at H'wood & Vine, as we do a pre-park opening ADR every year in order to run like mad for the sign up to fight Darth Vader.

Hope this helps!

For Crystal Palace we got there around 7:20am for our 8:05. They let us in around 7:40 and said we were welcome to take pictures before heading to CP. It was lovely, we even got to witness a proposal in front of the castle.

It is our tradition to get a per-park opening ADR at CP. We arrive earlier then our ADR to get great pics in front of the castle. In fact, my favorite is of DH and myself on our honeymoon all alone in our Bride/Groom shirts!

When you arrive go all the way left when facing MK entrance. Cast members will be there telling you where to go.
