Early Breakfast Entrance Question

[G.Goof]

Ok. I have a couple of ADR's for early morning breakfast at a couple of different locations (BOG 8:00am on 12/11 as an example.) I would really like to get in and out as fast as possible. How early do I need to show up at the turnstiles to be sure to get right in for my early ADR's?

I'd suggest arriving at the park by 7:30am for an 8am ADR. Each park has a special entrance procedure/line for those with early ADRs.

On our last several trips, at MK,mthey have held all early breakfast guests in one line and let us in around 7:45 or slightly later. I would get in line around 7:30.

 

[G.Goof]

If I were hoping to be near the front of such a line, would 7:30am put me there, or would it put me somewhere in the middle of such a line?

 

[jenjersnap]

Front 1/3 would be my guess. Don't forget people are heading to three different restaurants so the crowds disperse greatly. if you head directly to the restaurant instead of stopping for photos, you will be one of the earliest check ins, based on our experience,

Thank you so much for the great info and fast replies. You guys rock!

And don't forget that just because your ADR is earlier than the next guy's doesn't mean that he can't "jump ahead" of you by checking in before you. When the restaurants are just opening in the morning, they're less concerned about the precise time of the reservation than they are about getting people seated and getting the breakfast up and running.
This is crucial for those who intend to finish their breakfasts as quickly as they can.

Is the monorail and/or ferry from ttc operating early enough on a 9am opening day for an 8am adr? We are staying off property.

Yes.

1) Why.
2) You can't go anywhere.

You can get pictures in front of the castle without it being crowded with people. I think that's a good reason to want to get out of the restaurant quickly.

and apparently some want to be in position to get to rides or attractions first at park opening.

It was pretty crowded in front of the castle when we went last year at 8:30 on a 9:00 opening day. We had an 8am reservation at CP, got done with our meal fairly quickly, and were quite honestly shocked at how crowded Main Street and the front of the castle were at that time.
