Park Opening

[shortred]

I have a dining reservation at CP for 7:00 in the morning for December 27th. We are not staying onsite. If Magic Kingdom has an earlier opening at 7:00 a.m. Will we be able to do any rides if we are finished eating at 7:30, or will we be first in line for rope drop or can we walk over to Swiss Family Robinson and at least do that?

1. If Magic Kingdom has an earlier opening at 7:00 a.m. Will we be able to do any rides if we are finished eating at 7:30,
2. or will we be first in line for rope drop or
3. can we walk over to Swiss Family Robinson and at least do that?

1. Yes. (BTW, I can't imagine that you'd be finished at CP by 7:30, or even 7:45, or maybe even 8:00.)
2. You'll already be inside the park. Arrive at the MK gates by 6:40am and likely be let in.
3. OK, You've got me... Why on earth would you head THERE first?
Regardless, if MK opens at 7:00 for AM EMH, Adventureland (and Swiss Family Treehouse) won't be available until after 8:00 regular opening time.
Only Fantasyland and Tomorrowland are open for AM EMH.

Thanks for your reply! Probably would be able to get out by 7:45 I think because my youngest is 16, (though bringing two girlfriends, one of which has never been to Disney). So if I understand correctly if we are finished before 8:00, we can head over to Fantasyland or Tomorrowland and be able to do one or two rides. Do you think we should try for SDMT or Buzz Light Year?
Any advice is greatly appreciated, I am a little nervous about the crowds this time of year but it will be the only time all year that we will be together and I want it to be special!

1. Yes.
2. SDMT will already be swamped with EMH guests. Buzz may not have too much wait.

If you intend to eat and exit more quickly, when you are first seated and the waiter comes by, right THEN, ask
for your bill. Pay it (and the tip) as soon as it arrives and then you won't be stuck waiting for the check when you're finished eating.

Have a great trip!

Thanks! Love these boards! We have a fast pass for SDMT, so Buzz it will be. I am getting excited. I hope everyone has a magical time!
