Early A.M. ADR's

[canadianmom2three]

I've booked 2 for our upcoming Xmas trip

Dec. 22 at Akershus for 8:05 (park is opening at 9)
Dec. 23 at CP for 8:05 (again, park opens at 9)

First question - anyone who has done this, will we be done in time, or even better, before rope drop (the kids don't care so much about seeing all the characters, we are really there to get in early and see the parks before the xmas crowds descend)? And if so, are we allowed to walk around the park to take photos and admire the xmas decor at all?

Second quesiton - do you think it is likely that the opening times will change (esp. for MK) to 8 a.m. opening as the date gets closer, or is it fairly set now. I would hate to waste an hour of early a.m. park time eating!!

If you finish breakfast early, you'll be allowed to stay near a roped off area. I was never told to exit and then re-enter the park.
