How early for a 9:10am ADR?

[Kanga1]

How early do you think they would let us in the park for a 9:10 ADR when the park opens at 9?

Here's my situation...I had an 8:00am ADR for Be Our Guest (that I made 187 days prior!) I wanted that early breakfast to get in the park early, eat, and be ready for rope drop. I see that they have suddenly changed the hours (just 10 DAYS AWAY, mind you!) to open at 8:00. Of course, I can no longer obtain an 8:00am ADR on any of my other days where the park opens at 9.

I found an ADR for 9:10. How early will they let me in?

They let the PPO ADR and tour guests in first- about 7:50. Then they'll let the rope drop crowd in - up to where the opening show at the castle is. They usually let the rope drop crowd in by 8:50.

Which is to say: You will most likely not be let behind the castle before the rope drop crowd.

Sorry that happened, but you should keep checking to see if a PPO rez opens up on another day. You'd be surprised how many people book BOG PPO breakfasts at 8am on multiple days of their trip because they know park hours can change, and then cancel the spares in the week leading up to their trip.

This is why I recommend people don't make PPO ADR's at MK in particular if they will be upset that their PPO is now RD.

Everyone is let into the park about 1hr-1hr15mins prior to park opening when the park opens at 9am.
ADR's for BOG that are 9:15am or prior will be allowed past the castle prior to RD in order to avoid the high crowds as they walk to the restuarant.
How early for a technically after RD ADR? Likely no earlier than a few minutes prior to the opening show that starts about 5 minutes prior to RD.
