Early CRT ressie -- when to show up at TTC?

[Fizban257]

We got our CRT ressie on the first attempt -- started dialing at 4 minutes till 7, hit redial 3 times and got in! Party of 8 for 8:20 am, July 9th! We're staying off-property this year; when should we get to the TTC in order to monorail to MK, get through the bag check, and make it to the castle by 8:15?

BTW, before I hung up at 4 minutes after 7, the CM told me they'd just sold out for the day!!

We had the same time frame last year in July. We didn't do it this way, but if I had it to do again I would arrive at the TTC at least 45 minutes before my PS time. Let the CM at the front of the line know what you are going to MK for--they will let you through after they checkyour PS number. This will get you to the MK, through security and to the gate for the CM to check your PS and let you through with about 15 minutes to spare before your PS. This way you can walk down Main St. and not be all rushed--take inthe sights and enjoy a moment of quiet like no other! Then off to Breakfast without being all pooped from running down Main Street.

Thanks! I also posted this question on the transpiration board and got a very detailed response from a transportation CM. He advised arriving at the TTC 30 minutes before my PS, but I think you're right, 45 minutes sounds better -- especially considering we'll have my parents in tow as well as the kids. I wonder if I should leave even more time for the bag check?
