Newbie here with questions

Hi there! Loving these boards. Like someone else put it, "it's a cult, get out now"!!

Questions......NEVER been to Disney before.........my girls have reservations at BBB at Cindys Castle for 8AM!! This is before the park even opens. How does this work? I am assuming are names are written down and given to the peeps at the front gate with our ressie #? How long does it take from the time you park your car to get to the castle? We are staying off property , but close and we will be there several days before that day so we will be able to estimate our drive time.

Thanks in advance! I know you will pull through with great answers!!

They will have a list of names at the front gate from the restaurants, along with ressie time so they know you need to get in. Word of warning....make sure you have any reservation confirmation info with you JUST IN CASE. Them not having you on the list has been known to happen, but it is usually easily rectified if you are prepared.

Welcome to Disboards!!!! I am so so so sorry that I don't have the answer to your question

Keep in mind that to get to MK you have to park at the TTC, get on a tram (okay that early in the am you will probably be close enough to walk but just plan on it in case) , and then you have to get on the boat or the monorail to get to MK. I am a chronic worrier and so I would probably try to plan on 30- 45 minutes to get there. It can be a bit confusing to figure out where you need to be if you haven't done it before.

its great at cindys castle. the foods ok but its great to meet the characters. 8:00 is probably the best time as anything later is packed. Hope you have a great time in DIS, actully, i know that you will, everyone does.I cant remember my first time at DIS as i was a tot.

I agree with the original post about the parking at theTTC, it will take time because you have to travel from the parking lot and take the monorail or the ferry and I don't know if the ferry will be operating that early but the monorail will. I have never eaten breakfast at BBB but have had dinner and lunch. My favorites for breakfast in the MK are Crystal Palace and Chef Mickey (@ CR).

The first visit to WDW is special so have fun and just realize that you won't get to see everything but do enjoy the things you do get to see.
