CP early Breakfast

[KatieLovesMickey]

Hello from HOT Pittsburgh, PA! It's 92° here, and I'm loving every minute of it!!!!
I have a quick question. We want to experience the joy of walking down a virtually empty Main Street USA, so we booked breakfast at Crystal Palace for 8:20. How early will they let us in? I have 8:00 stuck in my head, but I'd love to get in a few minutes earlier to take a bunch of photos.
I'd also love to hear from anyone who has done this.
Thanks!
Katie

We went last Monday. Our reservation was 8:05. We got in around 7:45 and walked around for a bit. We went over at 7:55 and were seated close to 8:00

Born and raised in the burgh...now living outside of San Antonio (nearly 100 degrees here today!)
We had an early breakfast (8:20am) ADR for CP breakfast in May 2007 and it was wonderful! One of those old fashioned cars, trolley things met us at the entrance and then drove us down Main Street...circled in front of the castle before dropping us off @CP. In December 2007 we had an early breakfast ADR (8:20am) @CRT and were surprised that the Photopass photographs were out and we got some great shots!

I too was born and raised in da burgh, but unfortunately live in our nation's capital and it felt like 100 degrees today. This is a great thread. We're hoping to get CP too and I didn't' think about Main Street all uninhabited.

Our reservation was for 8:05 and they would not let us in until 8:00. There were alot of people waiting with us with simialr reservation times. We stopped and took pictures by the castle anyway. We arrived at CP a few minutes late becasue we took the pictures but it was not a problem.

We've had 8:05am ADR's at CP several times and have never gotten in the park before 8am.
