ADR & Entering the Park Before Opening

pigletliz · 13 Mar 18, 12:07 AM

I’ve just made an ADR for 9.45am, will I be able to get into the park before it opens at 9am, or because of the time of the ADR will they make me wait until normal opening?

There’s a separate entrance for early ADRs but 9.45 isn’t pre park opening normally. Do you mean 8.45?
Also, it depends on the park how far in you get. At MK everyone gets in to Main St at 7.45am but you can only get beyond it with an ADR or tour booking. Again there’s a separate entrance depending which restaurant.

No i don't think you will get in. Someone posted on a trip repirt this week they had an 8.45am booking and he wasnt allowed in at 8am.

I think it depends on the day. We had a reservation for 9am and got let into the park at 8:00am, we actually went to our reservation at 8:20am and they allowed us in, maybe we got lucky, I’m not sure. Got some amazing castle pictures though so it’s well worth a try.

As far as I'm aware now they let everyone in to MK up to the castle now before park opening so the option of empty Main Street pics with an early ADR is gone
