breakfasts before the park opens

[choirfarm]

I haven't seen this tip before and wondered if it still worked. Last time we went in 2000, we ate at Crystal Palace for an early breakfast before Magic Kingdom opened. When we finished we walked out and onto the rides as soon as the park opened. Could you do this at Cinderella's castle? What about eating at 7:30 at Boma and then jotting over to Animal Kingdom? Any other suggestions for this kind of thing?

We did this in November. We had ADRs on two different dates for the MK before opening. Opening in November was 9am and we had one booking for the CP at 8.05 and later in the week an ADR at CRT for 8am. On both occasions we were able to have some beautiful photos taken in an 'empty' park and then walk straight onto the rides afterwards.

This only works if you are eating within the park. It will work for Cinderella Castle because you will already be in MK. But you can't have breakfast at Boma at AKL & then bop over to AK & expect to get in early.

We've done this at MK and Epcot. MK is the best b/c you can get some great shots on Main Street without people in them. You have to eat within a park to get in early and they check to make sure your name is on the early ADR list.

We've done this at Crystal Palace and at Animal Kingdom. It's great!

Ok, I know this has been asked and answered, of course I don't remember the answer!!! What time do the buses start running.....we will be staying at POP in august, so what is the earliest that we could have a ADR and be able to make it in plenty of time??

Thanks!

I've heard that buses start running at 6:30 AM to accomodate those with early breakfast reservations.
