PPO BOG ADR questions

[momtoprincesses]

I have two BOG PPO ADRs for both of our MK days. The first is a 8 am ADR for a 9 opening. (I do realize they may extend the hours and then I would cancel). The second is 8:35 on a EMM day. I understand on the first day that I may be allowed to ride 7DMT early and/or get in line first for Peter Pan. I also understand that we will be barred from riding early on the EMM day. This is my question: where are you held on both days if you finish eating before 9? Can I stroll around Fantasyland and get pictures of my girls? Can I get in line at any of the attractions early? Is there a difference between where you are held on EMM days vs. regular park opening days? Thanks for any insight!

You go right next to the 7DMT entrance to wait. It's just a few yards from BOG. There will be a CM there who won't let you actually in the line until a certain time. Even on an EMM day, you should be able to get in at least one 7DMT ride without having to wait in a real line for it.

Awesome! Thanks for the info!

For the EMM day, you can stroll around or you can stand in line (outside of the actual queue which the EMM guests will be going in) for one of the rides. We were done about 8:30. We wandered around a bit from Pooh to Peter Pan....went in some shops....then got in line for PPF about 8:45ish. They let us enter the queue right before 9:00. Like 8:59, which was fine by me as we were still well ahead of the rope drop crowd

Thanks so much! This is the info I was looking for!

Good advice from @TJDisneymama above. I just did EMM on Sunday (my third EMM) so my memory/info is fresh and what they describe is accurate as to an EMM day at the moment. You can wonder around the Fantasyland area generally between BOG, PP, and Pooh but that's it. EMM folks have wristbands that give access to the rides. Non-EMM BOG folks can just walk around.

They don't let non-EMM folks onto any ride until very close to 9AM.

Note, on Sunday the carousel was open PPO and I'm pretty sure everyone (not just EMM) could ride it...but I could be wrong about that.

Not sure of the latest procedures on a non-EMM morning but I think it's about the same... you're held in the same general area.

Hope that helps!

This helps a ton! Thank you for sharing your experience!

@momtoprincesses FYI, this pic may help visualize the line for 7DMT on a EMM morning. On Sunday, at some point they "flipped" the BOG PPO 7DMT line from along the fence near BOG to this side of the ride. The woman in the blue shirt there on the left is the first person in line. The red circle is the end of the line. This was 8:54AM.

As always, morning procedures can change but this was accurate as of an EMM day yesterday!

Wow! This is a great visual and so helpful! Amazing how long the line is already 5 minutes before park opening...

I know! Yikes! Does that line move fast?
