Pre park opening ADR entry time

[OhioStateBuckeye]

I have two pre-park opening adrs that I have questions about.

1. I have a bog breakfast at 8:45 when the park opens at 9. If I arrive at 8 will I be able to enter the park at that time? Or will I be told to wait outside the gates until closer to 845.

2. I have an akershus breakfast at 8, the park opens at 9. How early do you think I'll be allowed in for this one? For some reason I have it in my head that your only allowed in an hour before the park opens. But in that case, we'd most likely be 5-10 minutes late for this one as it's in the back of the park.

Akershaus at 7:45, Not sure about BOG. Ours was at 8:10, so we were let in at 7:45.

We just did a Pre park breakfast at BOG. Park opened at 0900 and our ressies were at 0855. Only one person had to link their MB to the CM. Then they let us all in, very lenient I thought. We had a reservation for 8 but actually had 9 people with us. The CM said No problem and we all walked in! It was probably around 0840 when we went in but that was when we got there. I bet they would have let us in earlier. By the time we walked to the castle, they did the countdown at the front and the gates were opened! We actually did Seven Dwarfs and Peter Pan and then went to our Reservation, only about 15min late. No problem!

I have an 8:50 a.m. reservation for our trip next month at be our guest. I love the idea of jumping on an attraction or two and then going to breakfast! Peter Pan is usually our first ride at MK. What time are people usually let in? It is such a short ride I'd love to jump on it once!! To do 7D as well woukd be icing on the cake!!

. . . usually you enter 15-20 minutes prior to ADR
. . . just depends upon the CM at the gate
. . . if this were AK, you could get in at 7:45am

2. I have an akershus breakfast at 8, the park opens at 9. How early do you think I'll be allowed in for this one?

. . . ditto to above

Well, if you are willing to check in 15 minutes late and hope that they let you in, you could definitely get at least Peter Pan. I would just wait at the rope nearest the ride in Fantasyland until park opening. 7DMT might be doable as it usually opens early for people who are done with breakfast, so if you entered the park at around 8:40 it might already be running at that time, at which point you could jump on and go right to breakfast. It doesn't always open early to diners, but I think it does more often than not.
