Need some advice---first time going to disney

[purpletiger]

We are going to MK and have an ADR for Crystal Palace @ 8:10am. We are staying off site (great deal we got). What time do we need to get to the front gate of Disney in order to get to MK parking lot, get birthday entrance pass @ window and then to CP in order to make it to our ADR on time? I know Disney is a big place so I need to allow for driving from the front entrance all the way back to MK also. Thanks ahead for the information.

Plan to be at the front gate around 1 hour prior to your ADR.

I would even be there at 7:00am.

If you reach inside a few minutes early, the empty park is a great photo op.
