PPO BOG no longer first come first served?

See, that irritates me. We like to do EMM. I don’t think anyone other than EMM guests should be allowed on rides until the park opens. EMM guests paid for the early access. People with ADRs paid for a meal, not for early access to rides.

It's not quite like that. They queue them up to the left of the FP entrance just outside of BOG and walk them on just before rope drop masses gets there. EMM is not affected at all.

oh, ok. I must have misunderstood the post I quoted. I thought it meant that BOG PPO people were actually riding during EMM.

I’m going to be completely honest and expect some flame throwers lol. I have an 18 year old first timer with us this trip and booked the ADR for him and my daughter to get the 7DMT advantage. She balked at the price for breakfast and doesn’t want to do it. I have had BOG breakfast and lunch and know that the ambiance is only reason for the cost. The food is ok, but not great. I will probably cancel, but considering how busy the park is going to be, I’m thinking $20 is worth being first in line for a first timer on a very crowded day. I’m sure if my 2 no show spots are really missed, someone walking up may get a nice surprise entrance!

umm...if u are paying $20 anyway, why not order at least one platter to share for breakfast?

It might have just been a line to be led over to ride at rope drop. That's how they did it the one time we did it. (Wasn't even an EMM morning).

If you are there for a PPO meal and if the park does not change opening time, you have time to eat your breakfast and then get in line for Mine Train. No need to skip your ADR in order to be first in line. You should know that if you skip your ADR no one will be taking those two spots. Do what you want, but do not think walkups are going to be allowed before park open. NO ONE but those on the ADR's are allowed to gain early access.

For a bit less than that $20, you can order one kids meal to share.
For example, you could order a kids cold cereal meal that comes with milk and a little fruit cup on the side, accompanied by a tray of 5 little pastries. An additional drink like juice or a fountain drink is also included with this $16 meal from the children’s menu. Preorder, share, and have plenty of time to go outside and line up for 7DMT or PP. No need to be charged $20 for no show.

I takeit you've never actually experienced a BOG PPO ADR on a EMM morning. They will not let nonpaying EMM guests on a ride prior to 9am...they'll take you through the que but will hold them until 9...or many times 902/903...so no need to feel cheated.

I already acknowledged that I must have misunderstood the post I quoted.
