Do I get in early if ADR is same time as park opeining?

Hi, how does it work if my ADR is at 9 am and that is when the park opens? Do I go in early? This is for CRT and I thought I needed to be there early for the picture as well. Will I miss the opening little show they do? Thanks for your input.

I know if you have an ADR before the park opens they let you in after they check you're name off a list of guests with early ADR's. However I am not sure what happens if you have an ADR when the park opens at 9:00 AM.

DH and I had an ADR in Nov 2005 at CP right at park opening. The CM's posted at the entry would not lets us in the 15 min early to check in, as recommeded by the CM's when you call and make the reservation, as they stated we would have more than enough time to get to the restaurant when the park offically opened. They did not have any list and where not checking off names, however they did let the group in front of us in, I didn't here when their ADR time was, so

If you do go in early, you will miss the opening show.

In my expirience - no - if your ADR time is at or after park opening you can not enter the park early. As I type this I'm sure someone will post that they indeed were let in early. Disney is not great about consistancy, but from what I've seen and expirienced, you will not be let in early

What I would do, is go to the far right side, where they let people in that have early ADRs. Tell them you have an ADR for 8:45am.

That might solve your problem. Have your confirmation number with you.
They didn't ask for ours at the gate, but I heard they do sometimes.

If they question it, and they somehow know it isn't until 9am, (if they do have it written down) tell them you were listening to the CM, who told you to be there at 8:45, so that is the time you thought you would say.

Might work?!

Thanks, I will be there early and be ready. I am sure they have lots of people with ADRs that will be in line so we'll all go in, or all be late.
