BoG Breakfast Before Park Opening

[Thunder Fan]

Hello all, I grabbed a BoG breakfast reservation for 8:05 AM with the park opening at 9 AM (no extra magic hours or anything scheduled for the park that day). Does this work similar to breakfast at Cinderella's table where you go to the gate and you walk to the restaurant?

yep!

yep!

Thanks! Do they have someone escort you to the restaurant or do you just head over and they greet you at the bridge?

Nope no escorts etc. You can walk freely into the park after checking in at the front entrance line letting them know you have a reservation at BOG. You then just go to BOG like normal and check in like normal. If you pre ordered there is a seperate line for that and the other line will be for if you still need to order.

Very cool - Thanks! How early will they let you head in 15-20 mins ahead of the reservation or something like that?

Usually about 15 min ahead is the standard.

Great thanks - kinda excited to be in the park before they officially turn the lights on!

Your welcome!! Feel free to stop and take lots of pictures as it is pretty cool to do when the park is pretty much empty. A perk to having early reservations.

I just did this last week. Go to the tapstile at the far left. They scan the MB of whomever made the reservation. That person tells them how many are in the party. We all stood in line and they let us in quickly. We took pictures in front of the castle. They made us walk to BoG through Liberty Square side of the castle.

Cool... this is the first time we've had reservations for a place prior to the park opening so maybe for once we will be able to get a photo of the castle with only my family and not a hundred other random people in the background.

I have a similar question as the OT, my ressie at BOG Breakfast is at 8am and MK opens at 8am too. Will they let me and my girl inside MK at around 7:30am?

They usually only allow you in 15 min early give or take. I doubt they will let you in at 7:30 for a 8:00am reservation. Won't say for certain but in most cases it's about 15 min.

It seems to me that there is no real standard amount of time between your adr and when they will let you in. My wife and I were let in approx. 7:30 for a 8:25 BOG reservation last week. Just get there early and line up with the rest of the crowd that has early reservations and tours. You will likely be surprised by how many people start streaming in well before park opening, I know we were.

We were there this morning. Arrived at 7:30 am for our 8:10 am BOG, scanned our bands and got in the pre-opening breakfast line. The line was allowed into the park at 7:45 am.
