I'm planning next trip during Easter next year. I just got the operating hours for the parks and am trying to plan out where and when to eat each day. If the Magic Kingdom is supposed to be open at 8:00 to general public, will any of the restaurants open earlier then their usual open times? Specifically, the Crystal Palace opens at 8:00 am normally...is there a chance it would open at 7:00 am during the busier times of the year? I like to eat there before the park opens to get the great photos without anyone in the background.
 
I tried for a 7am Easter Week last year when we were there and they did not open early. Actually that worked out fine, the whole week was EMH's morning and evening. The park was closing at 1-3 am and opening at 7am.

Don't worry though about getting into the park early for breakfast to get good pictures. If you are there at Rope Drop the park will be empty enough to get some good pictures. Last March DS, DH and I rode 11 rides and had breakfast at Main St Bakery by 9:20 am. We went for EMH (7am opening).
 
Some examples of the park EMH Easter and later on the same day.
