Breakfast ADRs before the park opens?

[Hokie4lyf]

How does it work if you have an ADR at a restaurant in a park before the listed opening time for the park? Do you still go through the normal entrance or is there some special place you have to go to?

There'll be a specific gate for early morning ADRs. Make sure you bring your ADR confirmation # just in case they ask.

It is the main entrance, but a designated gate. We were asked our reservation number and our name at AK.

It is so nice to be in the park early. It is so quiet and you can see things that you might normally miss on your trek to the restaurant.

We had an early morning ADR at BBB at MK. The line to enter the park was to the right of the main entrance, near Guest Services, there will be a roped in line that you will follow. We were not asked for our res # but we brought it just in case.
It was so nice to get into the park early. We got some great pictures thanks to a great photopass photographer.

It's unreal to walk down an empty Main Street. We had ADR's at CP last year about an hour before rope drop and it was awesome to walk towards the castle with almost no people in front of you!

There is a specific gate, but they usually need your reservation number to check and make sure you have a ressie. I love having the ADR before the park opens. We usually do this for Crystal Palace at MK and it is amazing walking down Main Street when no one else is there and then we are usually done with breakfast before the rope drop as well

I have to agree about walking into the different parks with them being almost empty. It gives you the perfect time to get some really good pictures that have that we had the whole park to ourselves look.
