When we've had an 8:05am reservation at CP, we get into the MK at about 8:00am. It's such a great start to the day....walking down an empty mainstreet with the castle in the background!

The earliest reservation for CP is at 8:05 am. They will not let you in at 7:30. You will most likely be allowed in at 8:10.

usually to the far left or far right turnstyle is the enterance for ADR's. You have to give your name and confirmation to the CM who will verify and let you in.

We have had ressies at CP for 8:05 and were let in at 7:50 (yes, it was the exact time because I wrote it down in case anyone on here wanted to know !)

We usually vacation the 2nd. week of Jan. so I don't know how early they let people in during the busy seasons or if they are more concerned with checking if you have an actual ressie or not. No one asked for our ressie info. but I always bring it with me.

Facing the train station you go to the right side turnstiles and several are marked Breakfast Reservations with a CM standing there to ask if you are there for breakfast.

We just got back last week and went to LTT twice for breakfast before the park opened. These ressies were for 8:30 & 8:35 we arrived at 8:15 for each and came right in.

Have a great time!

I have done the 8:05 breakfasr twice in Sept and being let in at 7:50 seems right. And i have never been asked for a confirmation# to get in...no one was verifing reservations.

We had 815am ressies back in December. We got to the park around 720am. (we caught a character breakfast bus around 7am from SSR) You can go through security and get in line for the character breakfasts, but they don't let you into the park until 745am. We waited quite a while and it rained half of that time so I wouldn't show up too early, but the lines were kind of long by the time 745am rolled around. (Others are saying 750, it could have been, but my DH said 745)

You can get through at that time for the 815am ressie. My advice is to check in as soon as you get back to CP. We did and we were seated right when they opened at 805am. I believe we were the 4th family seated. It was great! No wait at all at the buffet! And we were able to get a good bit of our food eatten before the characters started making their way to the tables.

Have a great time with Pooh and Tigger (Eeyore and Piglet too)!

We have an 8:05am ADR during our upcoming trip in March and the park is open at 8:00am for early EMH. Considering that, are they going to let us in earlier than the other guests without ADRs or do we all get to go in together? It doesn't really matter, I was just curious.

 

[shawnh199]

I would think they would let you in earlier than the EMH crowd. I'm not sure because we've never done early morning hours but if they let you in at the same time as the other crowd, you'd never get back there in time. I imagine they will still open up the gate for early ADR's at the same time as nonEMH days (845 or 850am).
