Early park entry for early ADR?

[Stitch1404]

I have an ADR for Cinderella's Royal Table for 8:10 on a day that the park opens at 8:00. I want to get the "coveted" picture of my family on Main Street before all the crowds arrive. However, if they don't let us into the park until 8:00 when it opens since our ADR isn't until 8:10 that wouldn't be possible. Does anyone know what time we will be allowed into the park? Is it like 20 minutes before your ADR or something? I also have an ADR for 9:05 at the Princess Storybook Breakfast when the park opens at 9 that I am wondering about. Thanks!

We had ADR's scheduled actually before the parks opened. They had a special line open for people with ADR's. Just have your confirmation number handy if questioned. It's a strange feeling walking down Main Street before the park is opened. Epcot was the same way. Have a great time.

I think I might call Disney Dining and just ask them how far in advance you are allowed into the park. When you make an ADR, don't they usually tell you to arrive at the restaurant 10-15 minutes before your time? Or is it 5-10 minutes? Either way, it seems like they would let you in 15 or so minutes before your ADR. I hope so...

I am not quite sure I understand your question, but, the two times we've had the first seating at Crystal Palace, they made everyone wait at the front gates together and let us in as one big herd at 8 am (first seating is 8:05 with 9 am MK opening. This is the way it was a year ago though, who knows if it has changed) Some people chose to charge ahead to be first to the CP ADR list, some took a more leisurely walk getting pics, etc. We never did get pics that were totally devoid of all other people but it was still better than, say, 11 am!

That's the way it was last month.

Since the park is opening at 8:00 they will not let you in for the adr before then since your adr is not until 8:10... same thing on a regualr morning.. if your adr is at 9:10 then you have to wait until the park opens. Also even on a morning whne the park opens at 9am they do not let you in the park before 8 am... had a crystal palace adr in sept for 8:05 and was not let in until 8 and I was so mad because they tell you to arrive early.
