Crystal Palace 8:05AM & Rope Drop

[LizAgna]

I just booked Crystal Palace for 8:05AM on 2/29 (my 40th birthday!!). When we are finished with breakfast how far can we go into the park? We usually eat at CRT and get a very early seating so when we finish we are held at the rope in the castle. Will we be able to go that far from Crystal Palace? I have a 4 year old so Dumbo first is a must do for us.

The regular park hours are at 9 am that day. I would think that you would be finishing breakfast around that time and should be able to walk right in.

I was wondering the same thing. We have and 8:05 ADR for CP this upcoming trip. It is our first time dining before the park opens.

We've done 8:05 at Crystal Palace all 3 trips with the kids. This year they kept us to the left of CP towards Frontierland and that way. We got on the 2nd ride of the day for Dumbo.

This sounds good...we are usually on the 2nd ride of Dumbo when we eat at CRT. I just didn't want to be on the 5th or 6th ride...that would really throw my plans off...

I'm glad I asked then. Please report back and let me know what experience you have since you are going before me.
