Hello all, I need some much needed advise.

We will be in Magic Kingdom on Saturday, March 7th, for our finally day at Disney. When I originally scheduled my Daughters BBB appointment, which is at 8:35 am, It was with a park opening of 9am, now the park schedule has changed to an 8am opening and has thrown a huge wrench in my plan. Plus now I have no idea what to expect as I planned on getting a lot done before the crowds started poring in.

My question is: do you think I can still get into the park early; or if not how early should I get there in order not to be swept up in the Saturday/Magic Kingdom madness?

My current plans are:

8:35 am BBB ADR
11:45am CRT ADR
10:40 -11:40 FP - under the sea
1:20-2:20pm - FP Anna and elsa
2:45pm - FP Festival of fantasy parade

I would have avoided this particular day but I was able to get an early BBB appointment and a CRT lunch ADR for my daughter's 4th b-day. Now I'm not sure how this day is going to go since it is the beginning of the spring break season and I believe this day I'd slated to be a 7-8 crowd level. This will be our second day at MK.

Thanks so much!
 
We had a similar situation. I had booked an 8:20 breakfast at Tusker House (at Animal Kingdom) and sometime later, the opening time changed from 9am to 8am. They only let the people in who had 8am reservations. And they basically gave them like a 5 or 10 minute head start so nothing significant. Doesn’t hurt to get there early and ask. If they say no, at least you will be near the front when they open.

You should have no issues making your fast pass times though. I'd make sure to go during the first 15 minutes of your Under the Sea time; so you won't have any problems checking in 10 or 15 minutes before your CRT reservation. Then the same for Anna and Elsa. I'd go straight there from CRT. When we went even the fast pass line moved a little slow. They spend a good amount of time with each party. Then you won't be rushing to the parade fast pass area.
 
You can get through your list. Just be early as possible to everything!
 

Unless you're willing to cancel the BBB appointment (and I doubt you are,) your only real choice is to just roll with it. I think you'll be fine.
