CP Early Arrival

[pamgibb]

Hello,
We have reservations at Crystal Palace at 8:35am. If we arrive earlier will they seat us earlier? What time should we be at the gate? Roughly how long is the breakfast?

If it is a 9:00 opening day, arrive early enough to mosey down Main Street, and really enjoy taking some awesome pictures.

It really is magical to have it mostly to yourself!

I would say at least by 8:00 arrive at the gate. It is unlikely you will be seated early. It seems as though we have had our longest ADR waits at CP for some reason!

It usually takes us an hour to hour and 15 min. for character meals.

Have a great time!

I agree with the previous poster--we always have had our longest waits to be seated at the Crystal Palace. I wouldn't bank on getting seated any earlier.

We waited at the CP, too. Our ADR was 8:10 and there was EMH that day so there were plenty of people arriving to the park at the same time.

We hopped on a ferry by 7:40 since the monorail wasn't running yet? We had driven that day. By the time we got into the park it was 8:10.. I advise leaving some time if you are planning to use the ferry. We waited for what felt like forever, even though it seemed full they wouldn't leave!
