Crystal Palace Early ADR ~ Arrival Process

[Grimlock34a]

We have an early morning ADR for CP (8 am).

Are there any special instructions we should know about when we arrive? Do I need to show a copy of the ADR to the folks at the gate or do they scan our magic bands to confirm?

Just curious as we have never done this before.

Thanks in advance!

Congrats on the ressie! When we went we just had to tell the CM at the gate that we had an early ADR, and they moved us over to the far left hand side. We didn't have to show anything for proof.

At both MK and HS (for H&Vine) pre-park opening ADRs, we told the CM we had an ADR for 8am, and then s/he looked us up on a list. She checked the number on her list against the people in our group.

I got the impression that it was pretty strict - if you weren't on the list you wouldn't be let in. YMMV.

Do you think if we have a 9:10am ADR we will be able to get in early?

Maybe we had a 8:25 on a 8:00am open day . We were able to go thru with the other early ADRs . We got to the gates around 7:45. Since Disney says to be at the restaurant 15 minutes before your seating, being at the front gate around 8:30 isn't out of line.I always had a copy of the ADR with me just in case the CM questioned me.
