Squeezing attractions in -- 8:55 am BOG ADR when MK opens at 9 am?

[drgamera]

We have an upcoming 8:55 am BOG ADR on a day when MK opens at 9 am. Read on another thread that we should anticipate the possibility of being let in to the park as early as 8 am, and being able to eat breakfast immediately if we've preordered.

So one possibility would be: get in, eat our BOG breakfast as early as possible, then start touring.

Another would be: get in, try to ride 7DMT (or even see Anna and Elsa?!) before our 8:55 am breakfast. But when does 7DMT open? When do Anna and Elsa start meeting and greeting?

Thoughts? Experiences? Information on touring strategies pre-Rope-Drop is hard to find. Thanks!

If the park doesn't open until 9, you probably won't be able to ride anything prior to your ADR because the rides won't be running yet. If your ADR isn't until 8:55, I wouldn't think BOG will let you begin eating at 8. I could be wrong, but I wouldn't anticipate being able to do anything other than eat prior to about 9:30.

Agreed with the PP: if the park opens at 9, then the rides/meet and greets don't open until 9. There have been reports of people eating at BOG being allowed on SDMT around 8:45 before the rest of the rope drop crowd arrives, but I wouldn't count on it.

And they most likely won't let you in until 15-20 minutes before your ADR, depending on the cast members.

I have no idea if they will let you in early for an 8:55am BOG ADR.

However, I do know that on a 9am MK day, the rope drop has actually been around 8:45am. "Rope drop" meaning the start of the welcome show. Theoretically, if you are near the front of the line, you could hustle to 7DMT and ride with less than 10 minute wait. Best case scenario, you're getting off 7DMT 9:10am. But could be 9:20+. Maybe they let you into BOG that late?

As previous poster mentioned, there have been reports that people with breakfast BOG ADRs who are done eating have occasionally been able to ride 7DMT before the 8:45am rope drop. But those people had early ADRs (8:05-8:20ish).
