Non resort guest with 8:15am ADR on EMH morning

[danielzgrl]

Hi,
I just landed an 8:15am reservation at Be Our Guest for my party of 2. We are not staying at a Disney resort, and the only day we can go to Magic Kingdom is an EMH morning (EMH from 8am-9am). Will we still be allowed in early for our breakfast reservation? If yes, will we be able to ride anything after our meal before the park officially opens at 9:00, or will they scan bands at rides and only allow resort guests to ride?
Thanks!

You will be allowed in for your ADR at BOG but not allowed to partake in attractions because you are staying off property.

Will we be able to stay in the park after we finish eating even if we can’t ride anything, or will we be sent back to Main Street to wait for the regular park opening?

It's very possible that by the time you finish and pay for your meal, Magic Kingdom will be open.

you will be allowed to stay in the park, you WILL be able to ride rides before 9 as long as you are not using a fast pass, the only scan the bands for fast pass, HAVE FUN

You can't have FPs for EMH! And during EMH they only tend to use the FP lines.

The most likely scenario is you will be held by 7dmt, if that's where you're heading, until just ahead of the rope drop crowd arriving, so you can jump into the line.

Don't bank on being able to ride anything until around 8:50. That way you'll be pleasantly surprised if you can.

Thanks for all the help everyone! One more question. What time will we be let into the park for our reservations?

 

[Dave B]

around 7:50-8 or so

Cam you report back and tell us what happened. How was your breakfeast? Did you ride anything before 9am?

Our breakfast was great! We shared the cured meats and cheese plate, and also had the Master’s Cupcake (it WAS delicious). We were one of the first ones in BOG that morning, and we got our food very quickly. We took our time eating, and I think we left the building around 8:30. There was already a line at 7 Dwarfs, so we didn’t even attempt to ride before the official opening. I had snagged a last minute fast pass reservation for it a few days before our trip, so riding it early wasn’t a big deal anymore. We went over and waited for the rest of the park to open, and quickly walked over to Big Thunder Mountain for our first ride of the day.

Thank you. When you said the food was delicious were you referring to the meat and cheese or cupcake or both? thanks again for the update.

All the food was good, but I was referring to the Masters cupcake, which is covered with “the gray stuff” from Beauty and the Beast. In the song it says, “try the gray stuff, it's delicious!” And it was!

thanks! I am going to try the cupcake!
