What's the Earliest PS Time You Can Have for Breakfast?

[DiznEeyore]

We've never done a really early breakfast, but may want to during our October trip. I know some of the resort restaurants are open before 8 a.m., but what about someplace like Crystal Palace? If early entry is 8 a.m., do they have PS's at 7:30?

Any help is appreciated!

We just came back from WDW and had PS for 8:10 at Crystal Palace one morning . . .they start at 8:00.

When you arrive at MK they have a check-in line for people who have PS that morning. A CM has a clipboard with names of people who have PS with the times and restaurant.

They will not let anyone in until 8:00 am.

It is such a nice time to have PS that early. Not too many people are on Main Street at all . . .great time to take pics with the castle in the background.

Last sumer we had a 8.10 ps for Donald's Restonasaurus.

OK...here's another warning to everyone. Be careful about booking a breakfast that seems to early (to good) to be true. My daughter and I had a 8.10 priority seating for Restaurantosaurus breakfast and Animal Kingdom. This is what I was offered when I asked for the earliest they had available and the reservationist said that they'd let us in early for this. I just thought that maybe it was due to it being prime season . Well...I thought wrong. They didn't start letting us in the park to eat until 8:45 even though I showed the people that I could find my PS information. This was wasted time and I felt like a complete idiot. My recommendation is to find out what time the park opens and don't book it until that time no matter what the person on the phone says. Besides, booking the PS for a later time doesn't mean that you can't check in early and get seated early...

JodyTG....hmmm, the CM who wouldn't let you into the park was probably the same one who wouldn't let us into the parking lot until they opened the gate at 7:45am. My mention of an 8:10 PS time seemed to go nowhere as she pointedly gave me a pamphlet describing the park's opening hours!

However, once at the park, we were allowed through the turnstiles and into the park. There was a certain section (maybe to the far left?) that was specifically for PS at Breakfastosaurus. They checked out our PS number and our names, put us with a group and had a guide take us to the restaurant.

I'm sorry you had the experience that you did. Maybe you can try it again someday as walking through AK while it's empty is really cool and being in that section right at park opening helps you to beat the crowds for Dinosaur and Primeval Whirl.

We had 7:30 at Chef Mickey's this past weekend, and there were people there before us, so I'd say they start there at 7 -- can anyone confirm?.

When H & V did PS for breakfast before the park opened, we had I think 8 am PS. There was a lady set up in the ticket area who gave us a slip after we checked in and they started a line. At 7:30 they let us in, and they sat us early for our 8 am PS, with the 7:30 group. The restaurant was only about half full, though, so that may have been why.

We had 8:15 am PS for Cindy's in May, and had no problems getting into MK for it. They opened the gate for PS's I think at about 8 am, and we went in and got seated right away.

Sorry to hear of the OPs' snafus with the early PS, but we have never encountered them, and actually prefer the earlier seatings.

Enjoy!
