what time does the ticket gate open at Animal Kingdom?

[djpositivek]

We're in Florida now and have ADR's at Donald's breakfast tomorrow morning at 8:35 a.m.

2 people in our party need to purchase florida resident passes (4 day). What time does the ticket window open? I just found out about this and I think the Park only opens at 9 a.m. (Disney Calendar doesn't seem to be working now??)

Does anyone know for sure what time the ticket window opens? Hopefully early enough so they can buy their tickets. If they can't purchase their tickets in time I understand they can't get in (unless the CM would make an exception as tickets would be purchased once the gate opens.)

Thanks in advance.

Im not sure of the exact time it opens, Im sure someone else could no doubt give you a more specific answer however It will be open well before the park actually opens at 9. I dont believe you will have anything to worry about.

We are always "get there early" people (as in about 1 hour before posted opening). The tickets windows are always open before we get there. So, at least by 8. You should have no problems at all.

1- Hopefully early enough so they can buy their tickets.

2- If they can't purchase their tickets in time I understand they can't get in

3- (unless the CM would make an exception as tickets would be purchased once the gate opens.)

1- Yes. That will be the case, They don't let regular guests (early ADR's included) into the park without the Guest Relations and ticket booths open.

2- Correct.

3- They couldn't allow that. Once inside, any guests without tickets could easily just not bother to come back and purchase tickets, but just decide to stay inside and ride attractions and see the shows all day for free. (Couldn't get any FastPasses, however.)
