Question about ADR at or before park opening

[cheerful chickadee]

I have a ressie for Crystal Palace at 8:05am breakfast. I chose that early time so I can snap a few pics of my DD walking down Main Street before the park opens and gets crowded. My DH is trying to get me to change the ressie to 9:00am so we don't have to get up so early. If my ressie is for the same time the park opens will they let us in early or do we have to wait until 9am and then run there? When I made the ressie the CM said to arrive 15 minutes before our ADR time so I'm assuming I'd just give them my confirmation # and they'd let us in atleast a few minutes early, right?

Most of the time they will let you in. Technically you should be at the podium 15 mins before your ressie!
