Parking at Boardwalk for early entry with later ADR

[XiolaBluX]

I wasn't sure what forum to post this in. We have an ADR for Trattoria al Forno for breakfast at 9:20am. Will they allow us to park at Boardwalk around 7:30am (yes for early entry from International Gateway) since the ADR isn't for a few hours?

Generally it is within 30 minutes of your dining reservation. Especially at resorts either walking distance to a park or on the Skyliner/Monorail. They don't want you parking there and going to a park, even with a dining reservation.

They likely will (but I have noticed a variation in the strictness of enforcing the entry from resort to resort). DH and I had a 10:00am ADR at Trattoria for breakfast on Saturday (this past weekend) and we arrived at 7:30am because we wanted to walk around the boardwalk and get some light exercise in. They scanned my magic band at the Boardwalk security gate to confirm the ADR and they let us in with no issue. We have arrived 1-2 hours early to each resort with an ADR and they have always let us in. If you tell them you want to go EPCOT, they might not...I never tried that.
