Early Entry for Dining Question

[JDJJ]

We have an 8:15 am reservation at Crystal Palace. MK opens at 8:00 am that day. Will they allow us in through the early entrance with only 15 minutes to get to the restaurant?

We're traveling with someone with mobility issues and I'm stressing about navigating the rope drop crowd. When I made the reservation, the park was supposed to open at 9 but they went and changed the hours on me. Ugh.

Thanks.

I don't think know they will let you in earlier than 8 am

They will not let you in earlier.

They usually let the crowds in a bit earlier than the official opening. CP isn't far so I don't think you'll have any issues.

You should be fine - CP is right at the end of Main St. Try to be there early so you can be towards the front of the line. It's our fave brft - enjoy!

One other thing to ease your mind is that when the restaurant first opens in the morning, they aren't terribly concerned about the exact time of your reservation. They just want to get people seated and the restaurant flowing.
So initially, you'll have 0805s seated along with 0810s and 0815s. By the time you get there, if a couple of 0820s and 0825s have checked in ahead of you, no one's going to be too concerned.
