Early entry at MK for CP

[mbvisitor]

If I book a 9am breakfast at CP will they still let me in the park early? Say at 8am or earlier with the other 8:05 ADRs? What if I have an ADR at 8:30 or 8:45?

Do they stagger the entry based on the time of your ADR?

Just needing a backup plan if I can't get the elusive 8:05am ADR.
I'd really like the photo opp in the park before opening! TIA

1) They let you in 10-15 minutes prior to the ADR time.
2) Just enough time to walk to the eatery, but no loitering around the park.

We had an 8:05 adr at CP on our trip a couple weeks ago. They never asked for our name or what time our adr was. I was a little suprised because I thought they would check. Of course once inside the park you can't really go anywhere except to CP and CRT as the rest of the park is roped off. We weren't let into the park until almost 8.

We had an 8:15 ADR and got there are around 8:00. We just walked through the turnstile marked "dining reservations". Nobody said anything to us as we walked through. We took our time walking down Main St and in front of the castle to take pictures. It was very cool to have the park practically all to ourselves.
