Minnie and Friends Breakfast Question

[cfrith5]

I think I read somewhere on here that if you have an early reservation you can enter the park early through a special entrance? Can anyone clarify? Thanks!

Yes, there is a special gate near the DTD side that is marked for the breakfast group. Just get in that line, they'll confirm your reservation (in our case, they just asked if we had reservations and gave us our buttons) and then let us in with enough time to make our reservation. We went on a MM day when we didn't have MM access (and stopped by City Hall on the way in to get DD7's birthday button). It was good, but since it was a MM day, no cool 'empty park' pictures (I would have scheduled for a non-MM day, except, you know, her birthday fell on a MM day).

Iv been wondering this as well. Does that mean once your done with breakfast, even if the park isnt open yet, you can stay inside. Oh and will the rides be open too??

I don't think they really give you enough time to get into the park (much) before official opening. For us, our reservation (the first of the day) was for 10 minutes after MM started. So, if we ate fast, we could have had an extra few minutes in the park (we didn't, we got out about 10 minutes after park opening - so about an hour). I think on regular days the first seating is 20 minutes before park opening, and the rides then wouldn't open until regular opening time.

We had a reservation for 10 minutes after the MM opening (1st available) and went in the special gate even though we didn't have MM left on our tickets. We had a leisurely breakfast, saw lots of characters, and still had 10 minutes or so to get a head start on the rides before the non-MM people were let in. The usual MM rides were open.
