CRT Bfast Reservation Entry ?

[kelby86]

I am sure this has been answered before, I apologize, I could not find it by searching.

We have an 8:05 AM breakfast reservation at CRT, no EMH for MK on this day, normal hours. How early can we enter the MK for our reservation? Would like to take pictures on the way of course.

Thank you so much in advance!

Typically the gates open close to 8:00. Although your reservation is for 8:05, *don't panic* about being a few minutes late - they *know* the gates are just opening for everyone.

At opening, folks with 8:05, 8:10, 8:15, 8:20 are all checking in at once, and they're seating folks as quickly as thy can, without worrying about the exact reservation time. So if you spend a few minutes taking photos (like everyone else), then wait in line at CRT and get to the hostess at the front of the line at 8:15, you have nothing to worry about.

Now if you didn't get in line until 8:30 and didn't actually get to the hostess until 8:45, they might look askance at you briefly, but with all the chaos there, you'd probably still be seated, from my experience.

Main lesson - just relax and enjoy your experience.

I'm going back a ways here, but when we went two years ago I think we entered the park by about 7:45 or 7:50am. We had plenty of time to walk to the castle and check in. We actually stopped and took a couple photos on the way, and were probably at the castle by just before 8am. I know for sure they didn't make us wait right until 8am to enter, though. I have no idea, though, what they do now - we'll find out in a couple months though!

they made us wait till 8am in september, with a whole lot of other people
and people are still rushing that early!!

a few families mowed us down to be first in the check in line!!!

Thank you everyone for the answers and insight, I appreciate it!

I was hoping we would be able to get into the park before 8 AM but maybe they changed it more recently and are not allowing guests in until 8. Staying at All Star Movies and planned on getting out to the bus stop around 7 AM, the buses start running at 7 AM or before I am told? That should give enough time to get over to MK I hope!

So if I have my reservation number written down and I show them that I will be okay to go?
