Early Crystal Palace breakfast and Fantasyland

[TikiGoddess07]

Hi all!

We will be at WDW in July and have a 8am reservation for breakfast at Crystal Palace. This breakfast is our MK day tradition, and we are usually done way before 9am, giving us time to walk over to whichever land we would like to start at. This year we'll be heading to Fantasyland, more specifically to Peter Pan. We want to avoid the Anna/Elsa/Mine Train madness.

1. Are the CMs letting Crystal Palace guests line up at the ropes to the various lands before the main gate crowd comes?

2. Can we/should we go through Liberty Square to get to Peter Pan?

3. How does this sound for a touring plan for the first part of the day...
Peter Pan
Pooh
Mad Tea Party
Dumbo
Under the Sea
Mine Train (FP+ 9:35-10:35)
Small World
Haunted Mansion
Thunder Mountain (FP+ 10:35-11:35)

TIA!
Kathy

Josh over at easywdw just tackled the subject of how to get to the various rides at RD. He specifically recommended, if you are doing PP first, that you go through the Castle. NOT via Liberty Square. Here's a link to that discussion: http://www.easywdw.com/uncategorize...es-the-4th-fp-magic-kingdom-52814/#more-13541

You might also want to take a look at his MK cheat sheets to see how your touring plan stacks up against his recommendations.

I'm fairly sure that CM's have been stopping being from entering Fantasyland from the entrance near Haunted Mansion during the rop drop crowd as people were running through Liberty Square to get to Anna and Elsa first.

The rope drop CM's take you through the castle, around the Carousel and back to Anna and Elsa. You'll have to go with the crowd and veer off to Peter Pan.
