Crystal Palace--3 Questions

[weHEARTmickey]

Okay, I've had enough with seeing all the pictures...smiling families on an empty Main Street...Cindy's lonely Castle in the background...MK all to themselves...I've had it!!!!!!
I HAD to book early ADR's for Crystal Palace. Now we'll have one of those amazing pictures, too!

So, here's my questions....
1. How early should we get to MK to take those great pics? (Our ADR is 8:05, but EMH start at 8am that day We're planning on leaving ASMo around 6:45am, unless that sounds WAY too early??)

2. Will Photopass photographers be out & about that early?

3. DH & I will be completely out of DDP credits. Can we go to Crystal Palace w/out eating? (DD & DS will be eating, as they'll have an extra credit each.)

TIA!!

1. I would say this isn't too early at all. It takes a good 30 mins to get from AS in my opinion and so I would say youll be at the front of the park probably only 10-15mins before it actually opens.

2. Usually there arent Photopass people on Non-extra magic days but as its a EMH day I would think there will be but never tried it on one.

3. I don't think so as there would be no way for them to guarentee you aren't going to eat off your children's plates. How old are they? Could they go in on their own and you wait outside? Otherwise the likelihood is you would have to pay (but I don't know this for sure)

If you are going to CP just for those great pictures, save some money and be at the gate 45 minutes before the gate opens.

2. Will Photopass photographers be out & about that early?Usually yes, but sometime not in the slower season



3. DH & I will be completely out of DDP credits. Can we go to Crystal Palace w/out eating? (DD & DS will be eating, as they'll have an extra credit each.)Nuh, huh, Nope, no way.

TIA!!

If you are just interested in pictures with an empty park then being there when the park opens will suffice.

You just need to be at the park before it opens, but I have a feeling that unless your ADR's are before the park opens there is no garantee's that you will get the castle and Main St. to yourself.
