CRT-Earlist Ressie available on EMH & tour plan

[DisneyCatMom]

I have an 8:15 ressie for CRT on an EMH.
What is the earliest time a ressie is available at CRT. I'd like to show up early and be seated early if possible. I was so excited about getting a reservation that I didn't notice that it was an EMH.
So the plan is to get into park as early as possible, before 8:00 if I flash my confirmation number, check in at castle, run to Splash Mt for FP then meet my party to be seated. Be out of Castle by 9:00 when park officially opens, get FP to BTM, ride Splash Mt, ride BTM and then head over to PoC and HH.
Then head over to Fantasyland and do FP's there.
What do you think?
It's rated an 8 that day!

Someone correct me if I am wrong, but I don't think they will let you get any FPs until the park officially opens. And I don't think they will let you run over to Splash Mountain from the Castle until it is open.....

I think you are thinking in the right direction in terms of getting FPs on an 8 day as it will be crowded - but the breakfast reservation doesn't let you run all over the park....

I agree. There are usually CM's and/or rope blocking other areas that are unnecessary for breakfast ADR's. Also, usually FP's start time isn't until 10am, which means you would have to wait until then to get another FP anyway.

The park opens at 8:00-i thought they started giving FP out when the parks opened for early morning hours. Is this not right?
So if park opens to everyone at 9:00 they still don't start giving out FP until 10:00?

You won't be let in early since it's EMH and the park opens at 8. You'll be able to go in with everyone else. If the fast pass machines are open, you could possibley make it over and back in time for your check in.

So earliest ressie given out for CRT is 8:00? I was thinking 7:30, which is why I was hoping to get in a little before everyone else to take pics and such.

8:05 is the earliest seating they do

Plus, if I am not mistaken, Splash Mtn and BTMR are not open during morning EMH. Right? So you can't even get to them to get a fast pass. I think it's just Fantasyland and Tomorrowland that are open. You can obtain a FP as soon as the park opens, but the return time will be for 10am (or later).

You are so right! I just checked. Thanks so much for pointing out that they are not open during early morning hours; only night!
That has saved me some unnecessary running!
Now I think I'll grab a FP for Philamonic instead. It's right outside the back of the castle!

We got a 8am for CRT. So they must have that time slot.

I wouldn't get it for Phillarmagic. I don't think a FP is really necessary for that, I'd get it for Pooh or Peter Pan instead.

I agree, the longest wait time I've ever seen is 10 min.

Sorry I didn't clarify, I meant return times for FP aren't usually until 10am, so you would have to wait until then to get another.
