Entering MK early for CP breakfast..

[Princess Amy]

I know this has been answered at least a dozen times.

Are there busses running early enough to get to Magic Kingdom from the hotels? What do you need to show to get in the gate to let them know you are eating? Do you just give them your ADR confirmation number?

As many times as I have been to Disney, I have never entered a park early to eat breakfast. Go figure

The buses are running, give yourself extra time. I have before only needed my ADR number, they had my name on a list at Epcot. I havent done it for CRT.

We just did CRT in January - the bus did make extra stops along the way since there are not all running that early so allow yourself the extra time. When we got to the MK they were announcing what line to get in for CRT. It was very simple.

If I remember correctly the buses started at 6:45 you'd have enough time to get there. Just remember to have your ADR # with you in case there is an issue. I've done it several times without an issue.

We had an 8:10 ADR at Crystal Palace last Wednesday. I thought that I would have to give my name or my confirmation number at the gate, but we just got in line and then walked right through. We got in another line at Crystal Palace to be checked in. I'm really surprised that they didn't check anyone at the gate to verify the reservations.

Yes there are, we were able to catch a bus at 7 am from POR and CBR

i've had multiple 8:05s at CP. always took the bus (just get to the stop in time, at least 40-50 mins or so before the ADR). i've never seen MK check a list, but DAK and Epcot do.

Usually there's a separate turnstile for early breakfast guests. Sometimes they just ask for your name, but it's good to have the number just in case.

Early breakfasts at the MK are really nice b/c no CM escorts you down to the restaurant. So you can take your time, snap some crowdless pictures, and just enjoy all that empty space around the castle before you get to your restaurant!

Thanks a lot guys. We are really looking forward to this ADR

For CP, where do they typically have the gate you're supposed to go through at? We'll be coming off the monorail & I'm wondering to go to might left or right.

I believe you go to the right.

We usually do an early CP ADR, but are not this trip. I am a little sad about it because I love MK that early in the morning. We are doing Breakfastosaurus instead.
