Does anyone have any experience with a pre-park opening reservation at BBB? Is Castle Couture open before official park open to do the photo shoot? Can we get to Anna and Elsa before the rope drop crowds? Any experience you could provide would be appreciated.

We also have a pre-park BBB appointment! Which package are you getting? I have 2 little girls getting the castle package (8:05 reservations), and I feel like we will be lucky if we are done by 9.

I feel like it's going to be tough to get to the front of the A&E line....but I could be totally wrong!! Our hope is to be done by 9 to line up for Merida, but I'm super nervous that we won't have te time for that!!!

No, you will not be finished in time to get there before the RD crowds. Even if Castle Couture is open there is no way you can get in both before 9:00
I would do the appointment, go to A&E and get through that and then get photos done

We did A&E during EMH last week. There was zero wait for A&E for the entire EMH time. As in, we finished with the sisters and no one else had come in the room, there was no one else in line. There was however, a line for Rapunzel and Cinderella
The waits for them are never horribly excessive any more.

Also be aware of when you are going. Eventually, at some point this year, they will leave MK and move to Epcot. Just no idea when that will be. late Spring/Summer most likely.

Not sure which package we are going yet. I guess we'll have to play it by ear. I also have two little ones with and 8:05. Good Luck!
 
We had an 0800 BBB and finished that and the photo shoot before RD....we waited about 10 minutes at the rope before the CMs let us into Fantasyland.

Which package did you get? Your post gives me hope, but I feel like picking the dress and changing will probably eat up some valuable time!?
 
We did the basic package. Then waited until they opened the A+E and were 3rd. Then did the photo shoot and were done with all that by 9:15. We had an 8am reservation.

So next year for spring break a&e will only be at epcot?

It's conjecture at this point. But I think the smart money is on them being only in Epcot when the new Norway opens, but that will likely be sometime in May. So still in the MK for spring break.
