How early can you get into MK for a PS?

We have PS at Cindy's for 9:10am on a day the park is scheduled to open at 9. As you know, CRO recommends checking in 5-10 minutes ahead. Obviously if your ressie is before opening they have to let you in, but being right after opening, if they don't let us in I'm afraid of getting caught in crowds and being too late. Anybody with experience to give us a little advice?? We tried to get Cindy ressies five mornings in a row & only got one. We don't want to miss it! Thanks in advance!

we had PS for right after park opening on july 4th and we made it in plenty of time. even stopped and had a photo taken of us on main street!

I suggest getting to the gate about 30 minutes before your time. You really won't NEED the extra time, but it is incredible to have Main Street all to "yourself". There will be some incredible photo opprotunities. You can sit in front of the castle and wait for your time. The characters started coming out at around 8:45am and nobody was there, except us.

I would be delighted to get to MK early -- so it sounds like they will let us in (with a PS #), right? Anybody know how much time they will give us? (I.e., how much before our ressie) If one cast member says no, is it worth trying someone else? I don't mind waiting for our ressie, but like Tinkbell would love the opportunity for photos & just to look around and actually be able to see all the way down the street!
