What Time Is New Rope Drop Ceremony If There Are Early Magic Hours?

Just what the title says....does anyone know if we should arrive around 7:30 for an 8:00 am opening of Magic Kingdom? There regular park hours open at 9:00am but early magic hours are 8-9am. We want to make sure we see the new ceremony in front of the castle and walk down main street before the park officially opens. Thanks!!!

The show is ALWAYS about 5 min before regular opening. If you're there for EMH and already in the park enjoying the attractions, you'll need to find your way back to the castle to see it. I would plan on arriving between 7:30 and 7:45 for the EMH.

Agreed.

Thank you! MK officially opens @ 9AM so we'll start working our way back to the castle around 8:30AM for a decent viewing.

Sounds good.
You might need to do some maneuvering to get better sight-lines.
