Sorry, I know this question probably been asked before

[k8Davies]

about a bajillion times. sorry

But I have an 8.05am ADR for the Crystal Palace on a day they have early EMH.

So I wanted to know what time can I get into the park, as I want a quick picture in front of the castle before it gets too busy.

Thanks in advance, and apologies again for the lame question.

In the history of the Disboards every question has been asked many times before. To answer you question it depends on the time of year as MK has different opening times.

Fair question . I would be there at 7:30ish

Thanks @Pumbaa_ that's really helpful.

Sp I'll aim to get there for 7.30am, which means I can get in get a quick snap of the castle before the EMH hoards descend behind me

Keep in mind that BOG and CRT also have PPO meals, so you are not going to be alone. The days of an empty Main Street are few and far between. You will have an opportunity for a Castle pic, but you may need to wait your turn.

Yup! Totally agree. I've noticed that an empty main street is quite rare. The past few times i've tried, its been surprisingly crowded for that time of morning. I was able to get an empty pic of the castle, but yes I had to wait my turn.

If you want an emptier main street you should wait til after MK good nights kiss!

I think that it is BOG that put the "empty" out of Main Street. I remember that quiet stroll when it was just CP and CRT, so walking down with what seemed to be a huge flow of people was strange. Last December we booed BOG PPO and it was almost like a Rope Drop experience. CM's out handing balloons to people, and others directing traffic and waving. It was fun, but different than my earlier experience with PPO meals. I have PPO BOG a few times, but last December was indeed a new experience, for me.

Honestly i didnt have any luck in the past then. Because my experience was before BOG was even built. I never had an empty main street....and my ADRs at CP was at 805am. I'd enter the park around 740am thinking "what the heck"? Very surprised at the amount of ppl on main street. Sigh. But no doubt with BOG now, there's no such thing as empty.

It was a quieter walk, but you are right. Not ever empty.

Thanks for the info, know it wont be empty, but the few people the better and the wonders of photoshop will help too lol

Would love to do that but as we're travelling with a 3 years, to get the best picture with him, it'll have to be in the AM. As I doubt he'll be awake at that time and even if he is he definitely wouldn't be smiling - (like his mum, he's grumpy when tired).

Photoshop is great, i agree!! Yes, waiting for the good night kiss with a 3 yr old would definitely be challenging. Good luck to you with the early morning ADR then. I hope its empty for you.
