Hi all!

We (me, dh, dd6 and dd4) are taking our first ever family trip to WDW in 12 days!! We're so excited! I've been stalking these boards for a year to plan. You all are a wealth of information; thank you! So, I was able to reserve CRT and BOG breakfasts for two of our MK days and I'm worried about the logistics of getting to the restaurants on time.

We are staying offsite at Bonnet Creek. Can someone give me step by step instructions on this? What time should we plan to arrive at the MK? What is the procedure once we get there? I know Main Street will be open, but how do we actually get past the ropes to get to our reservations? Our BOG reservation is at 8:10 am on Tuesday (4/24) and CRT is at 9:10 am on Thursday (4/26). Please help ease my logistical anxieties and tell me what to do! Thanks

For BOG, you will want to be at the TTC parking lot no later than 7:15AM. You will need to transport to MK from there and clear security. Once people are being let onto Main Street, you will go left at the hub to the CMs holding iPads to scan people in for CRT and BOG reservations.

For CRT, the 9:10 is not PPO. You can get there later. You will be allowed towards the castle to check in after the castle open show at 8:50. You'll still probably want to be at the TTC by 8.
