Is 8:15 AM BOG ADR Early Enough to get the Jump?

[jomass]

We have 8:15 AM BOG ADR on a 4/10 crowd Tuesday, and half the reason for it is to get a jump on RD to get to A&E first thing. Do we have enough time? Will they seat us early if we show 15 minutes early? Or are they strict about the time? I'm hoping because it's pretty much first thing AM that it's not like we have to wait for tables to open.

I feel like we better not be leaving BOG our any later than 8:40, or we’ll miss that small window.

We are in the same situation for our trip in May and curious what people think....

I havent done it but you should be fine. From what I can tell the RD holding spot isnt far from the BOG so I would think if you get in to BOG little early and order by 8:15 that would give you 25-35 minutes to get and eat your breakfast and still time to walk over and WAIT. I'm assuming a regular 9 am opening. They say to check in around 15 minutes early at most ADR so Im sure they will allow you in before the 8:15. The slightly earlier ADR's 8:05 will be moving through but it is a pretty efficient set up at lunch so breakfast should be easy (fixed price should reduce lot of the slow up around ordering at the kiosk.)

We are going end of May...
Have two 8:15 reservations so hoping on those days to get to A & E and maybe 7DMT before wait is too long. Staying offsite so not counting on fastpass for those two things.

Plus, you know a lot of those 8:05 people are going to be lollygagging through the park, taking pictures, etc. I'm pretty sure that they're not going to deny entry to the 8:15 crowd before all the 8:05ers check in, ya know?

True enough. It's a great photo op, so I suspect people will be putting around.
