bOG 8:30 ADR with 9:00 opening

[Mrspeaks]

I have a breakfast ADR at BOG for 8:30 when MK opens at 9. I am more interested in getting in the park early than the meal. I have a lunch reservation too on another day. What time should we arrive at MK? Will they seat you early? If we are hoping to either get in line for Anna and Elsa meet and greet or the Mine Train will an 830 ADR be early enough to maximize our early entry? What are some strategies or suggestions? Thank you

Unless they've changed it recently, I think they'll let you enter at 7:45am with the 8am ADR people and allow you to eat right away.

We were in same situation arrived 7:30. Let in all together. At 7:45 I think all 8-830 ressies. Slow walk into empty ish park ( shared a meal It was enough with the pastry) outside in line 840. Waited ten minutes or so then let in. Got one ride in then the crowd hit. It was worth it

I had an 8 am BOG just last week and we were a little late in arriving to the park (well, late for my liking - I wanted to be there at 7:30! LOL). So we got let in shortly before 8, hightailed it to BOG. We preordered our food, and I ate quickly to get outside to check out the Mine Train line. I was out there by 8:45 and was able to get in line. (Btw, watching the sea of humanity swarm upon us after the main gates open . It was scary.)

If you can get an 8 am reservation, I would shoot for that since early access to either Mine Train or A&E is your top priority. Keep checking. Our reservation opened up a couple of weeks in advance, so just stalk the reservation. I don't think they'd let you in at 7:45 with a 8:30 reservation. And I certainly don't think that if you sat at 8:30 you'd have enough time to beat the crowds. Also, be sure to order your food in advance. That helped a lot, too.

This was exactly our experience. We had an 8:30 adr and we were let in with everyone as a group, exact times were not separated. We pre-ordered and were one of the first ones in the dining room.

Any ADR from 8am to 8:55am gets you all in to MK at 7:45am. Then, no matter if your ADR is 8 or 8:55.... You get in to BOG at 8am. So no need to keep looking for an earlier time. Always try to get to the gate by 7:30 or earlier. Go to the far left tapstyle area and a Cast member will check you in on her ipad.

Get to MK gate by 7:30 am at the latest. Walk towards the far left tapstyle area. A cast member will check you in on her ipad and tell you where to wait in line. Everyone with any ADR anytime before park opening is let in all together at 7:45am. Also, no matter what pre park opening BOG ADR time you have from 8 to 8:55, you all get in to BOG when it opens. Pre order your food and get outside as soon as possible because lately they have been opening the park up to 15 minutes early, so only the early birds will get a ride on 7DMT before the crush arrives.
