Crystal Palace Breakfast

[DisneyGigi]

Okay so we have booked the Crystal Palace Breakfast for our first full day at the parks. Our ressie is at 8.00 AM so I was wondering how early we can actually get into the park so I can take a few pictures before the park is open? I always arrive early for our ADRs (like 30 minutes) anyway but I want to be able to soak it all in - so I was thinking like 45 minutes early? We have been there for supper but this will be our first time seeing the park before it opens.
Thanks!

A wonderful choice for breakfast - we eat breakfast at CP at least once per trip. As for entry into the parks - I can't see the CMs on the gate letting you in much before 15 minutes before your dining time - just enough time to stroll the length of Main Street to get to CP. You will, however, still have plenty of time to get photos of an almost deserted MS USA

We love the CP also. its probably my favorite character breakfast.:sohappy:

I would be at the gate 1/2 hour early. If the cm's don't let you through, there is still lots of places to take pictures before it gets crowded.

Enjoy:wave:

When we had 8am ADR's they actually didn't let us in until 8am. CM's checked your name at the gate to make sure you had ADR but made you wait until 8am. The same happened at AK. So I'm going to assume that 1 hour before park opening is the earliest anyone can enter the park.

Thanks everyone! I was really wondering because when you make your ADRs they always tell you be there about 30 minutes before. Are they okay with you arriving at the exact time or a few minutes late if you can't get in? We always get to the gate way early anyway because we do the opening show. I guess we will just do our normal early arrival and check in with the CM with our number and see what happens. I just want to be able to soak it in for a minute and snap a few pics on the way in.
I cannot wait to see an empty Main Street, it will also be our Anniversary on that day!!
