entering before park opening.

i have 9:00 reservations for donalds breakfast thing in Animal Kingdom and they wanted me to get there around 8:45 am, which is a-ok. i know that's before opening, and im excited because there will hardly be anyone there that early in the morning since it is before opening. My question to all of you is:


Are the photopass photographers there before park opening? It would be really nice if we could get our picture taken before the crowds poored in! I mean i dont care either way, i would PREFER that no one be in the background, but if they are, so be it! I'm at Disney!!!!! Who cares!!!

When I did the Segway tour at Epcot, we entered before the park opened. There was no-one there, but we were there about 30 minutes before park opening. Maybe it would be different if it was closer to opening time.

If you get there at 0845 at Animal Kingdom there will be people in the park. We arrived at 0820 last trip and we were in the park around 0845 but only up to Discovery Island. They have the opening show at 0900 around the Tree of Life and have everything else roped off.

When you get in there keep to the right and they have a pathway roped off for those that have ADR's at Donald's. There will be a castmember there asking if you have an ADR and then you need to show your confirmation.

We didn't see any Photo Pass people but there was such a crush of people that I wasn't really looking. We didn't see our first Photo Pass Photographer until leaving the park at 0530 that afternoon.

When you go in early and there is no one there, the photo opportunities are endless. We got pics from the F&G festival at Epcot by going in early for the Segway tour.

When we went on june there were photo pass people there. It is great getting in early! Plus you can get in line for Everest nice and early! Also, if you go when you dont have an ADR, you can go to your left into the Rainforest Cafe there to get in a que. It is usually much shorter than other entrances! Have a blast!
