CRT Early ADR, will we get in before rope drop???

[Kendallou]

I was so excited when I booked an 8:15 CRT but slightly less excited when I saw it is a extra Magic hours morning...Will we be able to get in early at all for that coveted crowd free castle pic??

Does anyone know the answer to this?
I was very excited to get a 8:05 ADR at CP, but now the park hours have changed and MK opens at 8.
I can't decide if we should just cancel or not. We like CP and always have a good time there, but we were hoping to pictures on our way in and make rope drop.
So I'm wondering if we can get in before the crowds and have a peaceful stroll down main street, or will we be let in with the masses?

Thanks.

Usually you're let in 10-15 minutes beforehand, so a brief head start would be the best case scenario.

This also just happened to me! I have an 8:20 am breakfast reservation at CRT only to find out they added on magic hours Magic hours have me worried on what time I should arrive at the park and if this early morning ADR just lost some value (we are NOT morning people to begin with lol...and obviously I cannot just change the time of my adr at this point)

I've seen a lot of people say no, you won't get in early but I've always seen a few that say yes you will.

I wish we had some more first hand experience with this.. maybe we will in the upcoming weeks since June seems to be the time where they screwed up everyone's pre-opening ADR plans.

I'm thinking the likely answer is no, but if you have a 8:05 reservation (we do as well for BOG on a morning they are now opening at 8) - I've read it can take 15 min to walk to that side of the park so then you'll be late for your reservation - which maybe they don't care with these types of ADRs.
