Sunday Oct. 12th plan

[figment_jii]

Our reservation is at 9:30 and I am assuming they let us in the park a bit early so we can get to it. I am thinking maybe entering through DCA might be quicker but I am not very familiar with it all. Is there a special gate for early dining guests? I called and they said for DL the early entry gate is gate 1. I am assuming there is a special gate for DCA.

Even if there is a gate for guests with early dining reservations (I've heard mixed reports about this), it would probably only be for guests with reservations inside DCA and Storytellers is not inside DCA. It's inside the hotel and does not require entrance into DCA to get to it. So I would not count on being able to use the DCA entrance to get to Storytellers at that point. Besides at that point, the ticket lines to get into DCA will probably be fairly long and slow, so you could probably walk through the DTD entrance to GCH much faster.

Well, maybe DTD is the right choice then. I would think they would have a special entrance since they don't open the park until 10am for everyone....they would have to let people in with dining reservations...unless like you said...it is because we aren't in the park but in the hotel. I guess we would have to walk right past the entrance to DCA anyway so could ask as we make our way to DTD.
