Dinning Reservations prior to park opening...

[Mr. and Mrs. Mummert]

I just made reservations for Tuskar House for breakfast at 8:10am, but the park doesn't open till 9am. Can we get into the park and how? And we are staying at Pop, so how is the best way to get to AK this early prior to park opening?

Hi

You will be fine with your reservation - although the park won't open until later you'll be allowed through the gates when you tell them you have an ADR. Sometimes they check it on a list, and sometimes they take your word for it and just let you go through.

Generally, the park transportation begins running at least an hour before park opening, and so when I had an ADR for CP at MK at 8:10 I got the bus around 7:35 and was there in loads of time. I think you'll find the buses begin running from Pop pretty early because lots of restaurants do early breakfasts.

Finally, don't forget your camera because you'll be able to get pics of the Tree of Life without many people around! The only people in there will be those attending an early ADR so crowds will be low. And you'll probably pop out in time to get on the first safari of the day, if that appeals to you!

Have a great time!

There will be a set of Turnstiles open just for early Breakfast ADRs at Animal Kingdom.

Just take an Animal Kingdom bus from POP.

Buese begin running at 6:30.

Disney is VERY accustomed to dealing with early Breakfast ADRs.

You will have no issues and being inside a Park before it opens is really cool!
