PPO BBB appointment.. can all 4 of us go into the park?

[EpcotNerd]

My daughter has a PPO BBB appointment (8:05) that I am taking her to, can my husband and my son (4) also get into the park with us at this time?

All MK guests can go in to MK (Main Street and the Hub, all the way up to the castle) starting at 8AM, every day.

Guests with early appointments can get into MK approx. at 7:45AM.

 

[EpcotNerd]

But aren't the guests that are allowed in at 8 to stay in front of the castle until 9? (Park opens at 9 that day) I assume there is a barrier that people with PPO reservations cross before the 9:00 opening to get to a 8:05 appointment, my question is, can all of us cross it?

Yes, you can all go with her

On the days with early EMH, do they still do the welcome show at 9am at the castle? Seems like not much of a perk if everyone can enter at 8am? I am assuming only EMH guests can ride rides during that first hour? Thanks for clarifying and sorry to hijack original thread, but seemed like a good place to ask:0) Thanks!

1. Yes.
2. "All" guests are only allowed on Main St. starting at 8AM.
Guests not eligible for AM EMH are not allowed past the hub until 9AM.

For a 9AM regular park opening with EMH’s from 8AM-9AM, the Let the Magic Begin morning show will be at 8:55AM (same as it would be on a non-EMH morning). It is my understanding that non-EMH eligible guests cannot get past the hub during EMH, but big caveat in that it has been awhile since I’ve done a AM EMH at MK so I may be incorrect in my assessment.

Thank you both, Robo and DisneyDad! That makes sense.

What happens when you have BBB PPO on an Early Morning Magic event day? Will you still be able to ride 7DMT? Will they allow Rider Switch?

1. EMM guests must have wristbands to enter the 7DMT line.
I don't know at what point that would cease being the case.
2. Same answer. No Rider Switch would be needed until regular-hours guests were being allowed to ride the attraction.
Before that, it's just "unlimited riding" for those participating in EMM.

You will be allowed to ride when the park opens at 9. When I did EMM last year, no one other than EMM guests were allowed to ride before official park open.

The PPs are correct, on an EMM morning you will not be allowed to ride 7DMT until very close to / right at 9AM. You CAN go ahead and get in line - it'll be you and the BOG PPO crowd - that in itself is a big advantage as you'll be in line before the main rope drop crowd.
