Let the Magic Begin?

[bariww]

I would love to kick-off my kids first MK experience with Let the Magic Begin - it's at 8:55 and I don't know if it makes a difference, but that day is EMM so the park will be open prior for those who bought the tickets. My question is, what time should we leave BRV (bus) to get there in time?

Just FYI, your experience with Let the Magic Begin will be no different on an EMM or non-EMM morning. EMM is just 200ish people and it's just three rides in Fantasyland, you'll never even know they are there.

For a 9AM park opening, everyone is let through the gates around 7:45ish-8. Guests without EMM tickets or a BOG PPO ADR are free to walk around Main Street up to the hub. It makes for a nice, orderly loading of folks into the MK at that hour. Point being, you have a wide "window" in which to make it to the gates and into the MK with plenty of time to make it to the castle stage for the 8:55AM welcome show.

I can't comment on what time you should leave your resort, hopefully someone else can provide some feedback in that regard.

One major bonus, since you're going on an EMM morning - park hours are guaranteed not to change from 9AM!

Hope that helps. Have fun!
