When can we enter the parks

[Sandy1892]

Hi hope this doesn't sound like a daft question and hope I'm posting in the right place. We arrive 30th Aug staying at AoA for two nights we plan on just chillin, 1st Sep we check into Sarotoga Springs for two weeks on a package with park tickets and dining. We have a breakfast res at BOG at 8.45 am 1st Sep do we have to go to Saratoga Springs first to activate park tickets if we do what is the earliest time we can go there will have done online check in and won't be needing our room until after 4pm. Don't want to waste breakfast reservation if someone else can use it. Thanks

The park opens at 7:45 for guests with PPO reservations.

You can check into the resort any time after 6:00, although your room likely won't be ready. You could store your luggage with Bell Services and then head to the park. Will you have a rental car? Getting from one resort to another early in the morning is easiest either by driving or taxi. Your second set of magic bands will be waiting for you there.

Technically you should be able to head straight to MK and trust MDE to work properly for the second part of your stay, if you've done online check in for your second resort. But I don't trust the system farther than I can throw a MB, so if it was me, I'd head to SSR first thing. You could still make your ADR in time.

To activate your park tickets you add them/link them to your MDE account. That is all you need to do they are then active for you. If you have a package then it may already automatically may be in the MDE..someone here will know if its not how to add with a package. My pass for March trip is already "active" in MDE. First use will activate it and start the clock.

Thanks for your advice we won't have a car but maybe taxi over to Saratoga Springs real early then go to the park

You wont need to go to Saratoga before parks unless you want to take your luggage over yourself. . Keep in mind taxis are more expensive than uber.

IT would be better if we didn't have to go over to Saratoga Springs first, I'm happy for Disney to transfer luggage then we can have a day in the park before going to the hotel early evening

Just get up in the morning your last day at AoA, check out and arrange for your luggage to be transferred, then head to the parks. No need to go to Saratoga Springs.

If you have a ticketing issue it most likely can be corrected at Guest Services outside the park. We checked in at the Poly last year really early and went straight to AK. Our tickets didn't show up for some reason at the gate but GS outside of the park was able to remedy the problem quickly.
