Park Strategy with an Early PS at MK

[PieNBurger]

What happens if you have an early PS (8:05) at CRT in regards to touring the MK? Basically, I'm wondering at what time are you free from CRT and if there are any ways to get a jump on the park crowds. Much thanks.

We have an early CRT PS, too, and I'm wondering where they hold you if you finish breakfast before 9 ? And can you exit Cindy's from either side of the castle once you're done - in other words, can you walk directly out the 'back' to Dumbo or exit out the 'front' to head to Adventureland?

I would like to know these questions also.

The only experience I have is when I had an early PS at Crystal Palace 3 years ago and once we were done eating, we just waited outside the restaurant. We actually walked over to the rope that leads to Adventureland and when they dropped the rope, we walked right on several rides.

We have an early PS at Cinderella's Castle in 2 Weeks so I'm hoping to do the same thing!

We had a 8:30 PS a few years ago and we didn't get out of there until after 10:00. We waited at least a half hour for our table. I was amazed when we checked in at how many people also had Ps's and were waiting for tables.

we had a ps for crystal palace last march and we finished and walked through the castle and stood at the rope going into fantasy land and when the park opened we could see the people coming from the front gate and when they dropped the rope, we did everything in fantasy land including dumbo(which usually has the longest line at dw) then went to frontier land and did everything there with the exception of hall of presidents then moved on to adventure land and did everything there and we were leaving the park for a swim back at the hotel by 1:00. It was GREAT!! Normally we go to adventure land first when the park opens and then to frontierland and then to fantasy land but we decided to change this time because by the time you get to fantasy land it can be pretty packed. We then came back that afternoon and finished the rest of the park with time to spare. Just and idea for you because it worked great for us. If you try this, I hope it works as well for you as it did for us.

We also have an 8:15 PS @ CRT. I sure hope we can get in on time and finish by 9:00. Our plan is to tour Fantasyland first then continue using the UG touring plans. Then only thing I can foresee that would mess us up is if we do not get seated on time. Does anyone know if PS delays are a common problem @ CRT?

We had a PS at Crytal Palace at 8:05am on Tuesday, April 5th. We were able to walk under the castle and wait for the rope drop at 9am. We were the first family to ride Peter Pan (it could have been any ride in Fantasyland...my boys wanted Peter Pan). I was a bit surprised that there were so few people at the rope drop at the castle. I assumed those with CRT PSs were still busy at breakfast.

On the other hand, we had at 8:00am PS at Donald's at AK on Sunday, April 3rd and they held us in Dinoland until most of the guests from the front gate got ahead of us on the Safari. That was very disappointing.

We had an 8:10 ps at CRT this past Friday.
We were the first ones to be seated and could have easily been out before 9.

When we left, I noticed quite a few people waiting downstairs

that early of a PS should get you out by 9. If you get out in time for the rope drop, try to wake up Tinkerbelle! remember the rope is unhooked from the left.
