Crystal palace 8:05 am

[Neverneverland]

How early can you get into magic kingdom for an 8:05 am ADR(9 am park opening no emh) In searching i have seen everything from 7:30 to a report where someone said the cm would not let people in till 8 - is there a standard or is it dependent on the cm that day? And should I plan on arriving earlier than that to get in line for early adr's?

Policy is they let you in 15min before your adr. That way you have time to check in (as they tell you to check in 10-15mins before your time).

The entrance is usually to the far right of the turnstiles as you face them.

Dependent on the CM working the early entrance, but it's usually 15 minutes before your ADR time. Although twice when I've had 8:05 CP ADR's, I was able to walk in right when I arrived at 7:40 and 7:45.

i have walked in as much as 25-30 mins prior to a pre-opening ADR w/no problem walking up an empty main street...

We have an 8:05 CP reservation also. We've never done any character breakfasts. I was thinking of trying to get to the bus stop 1 hour prior...but I didn't think about them needing us there 15 minutes in advance.

If we are at the bus stop at CSR 1 hour and 15 minutes in advance, will we make it? So that would be 6:45 am I think. Boy does that sound early.
