Breakfast before Magic Kingdom Opens

[Minnie1976]

If you are going to the Crstal Palace for Breakfast on October 19th at 8:30, how early do they allow you to enter the Magic Kingdom?

For whatever reason- the CMs at MK have never asked for any of our info when we've shown up for pre-park opening breakfasts. DHS and AK asked for all of it, but MK it's always been ME: "hi, we've got an early breakfast reservation" - THEM: "OK, come on in!" And aside from running our tickets through to gain entry to the park, that's been it.

We've gotten in as early as 7:45a w/an 8:25a adr for Crystal Palace. I've heard they may even let you in before that since some of the other experiences require you to be there even eariler. We have an 8am at BBB this upcoming trip and we have to be at the castle by 7:45a, so I've been told 7:30a is the avg entry time for that.

Either way- you shouldn't have a problem. I'd have your ADR info handy just in case, but like I said- never been asked for it at MK.

Just have your ADR and park tickets ready and you will be good to go at the park entrance.

We weren't asked for confirmation of our reservation, either. In fact, the CMs were calling out as we were walking up that if you had an early reservation, to enter through this gate. We got there at 7:45 for an 8:10 reservation. I loved getting pictures of an empty Main Street!

If the first reservations are at 8:05, they'll start letting people in around 7:50 - 8:00. If they don't let people in until 8:00, those unfamiliar with the MK start wiggling out about missing their reservation, lol. The bombard the staff with, "I'm going to be late!" So they usually start a few minutes before that.

Although the park is empty, you can't go exploring. You can do Main Street and the hub and that's it. Also, you aren't the only one going in. Everyone else eating in the restaurant is going in, too. Tour people are in. I once saw a whole crapload of people in matching polos with some company name on them, too. They were pretty much just hanging around on Main Street.

Not trying to be a downer, just don't want anyone disappointed if they can't get pics of a totally empty MK.

I do love the CP for breakfast and am certainly not attempting to talk anyone out of it!!

One other note, depending on how early you're arriving, if you park at the TTC they may direct you to the Resort monorail rather than the Express.

You should have no issues getting in by 7:45....and as stated elsewhere in this thread, they usually don't even ask for your ressie paperwork.

Thanks everyone for the information and advice. No matter if it is empty or not just being on Main Street is magical and exciting.
