How early do you get let in for morning ADR's?

I have a 9:20 H&V ADR. Would I be admitted in early or do we wait till park open at 9? I know it wouldn't be at 8 but wasn't sure of the guideline.

We had an ADR that was at 9:00 once and as I recall that day we entered around 8:30... I don't know if there is a set time, we just told them we had a reservation at 9:00 and they let us in... As I recall they didn't even verify it with the place we were going... I would suggest you call Disney and verify... honestly I'm not sure if you need to worry be cause you can pretty much get to anywhere from the front gate in less than 20 minutes... and worst of all even if you are there at 9:20 it doesn't mean you will get seated right then, we've had to wait as long as 30 minutes at some places beyond the time of the reservation.... so don't worry so much.

9:20 you would most likely be entering with the normal crowds. You could try to enter with the early crowd, but they may refuse you entry. Depends on if the CM working the gate is checking reservation numbers/times or just taking guests at their word.

I was hoping we could get in a tad early to be right there for TSMM then go to breakfast. I'm debating moving up a bit but not sure how late the kiddo may or may not sleep in.

If you do get let in early just for the meal, they won't let you go to TSMM. You would be stopped before that point. Frequently DHS is opening prior to 9 AM however, sometimes just a few minutes, other times 15-20 minutes. If they let everyone in early, then you should be able to go to the ride.

While we had an 8:05a ADR when we did H&V breakfast, our experience with DHS, Epcot, and DAK is that they'll usually let you enter the park 15-20 min before your ADR. Based on the timing of your ADR and the location of the restaurant (i.e. very close to the DHS entry), I have a feeling you'll be going in right at 9am. MK is really the only park where they don't seem to mind giving you a little extra time.
