Recommendation for timing CRT

[Eeyore2003]

I'm helping a friend with their vacation in February and EMH is not going to work out for them for MK. I was going to suggest that they eat early at CRT and be in the park for the 9:00 opening. What time would be a "perfect" time to make the reservation and be "ready to go" at 9 ??? I told her 7:30, but I just want to get another opinion. Maybe she can "beat the crowd" on this with the new 180 day out rule. Thanks so much.

Honestly, I'd only recommend this if her kids are naturally really early risers. If they are, then that would be great, but they would need to be at the MK front entrance at 7 to make a 7:30 ADR.

Another thought is to plan for lunch rather than breakfast. Personally, I prefer to have my DD sleep until her usual time, hit the park right at opening and then by the time that the MK starts to get really hot and crowded, sit down and take a nice break for lunch. A 1 or 1:30 lunch works well for us when we do this.
